BIO    Trung Trac was a noble widow in Vietnam whose husband was killed on the orders of the Chinese governor.  She and her younger sister, Trung Nghi (Nhi), led a rebellion against the occupying Han Chinese Empire in the years 39 - 43 CE / AD.   The sisters' army was victorious, but their independent kingdom only lasted for a few years.  Though the Trung Sisters ruled together as queens, they were unable to overcome their lack of disciplined forces and supplies.  Threatened with defeat in the face of overwhelming Chinese imperial power, the sisters committed suicide. 

Temples were built in their honor, and they are remembered with a national holiday as heroes who resisted oppression

Every online source I found about the Trung Sisters quotes this poem without listing an author:

"All the male heroes bowed their heads in submission;
Only the two sisters proudly stood up to avenge the country."

I also found this quote, which was attributed to Trung Trac.  The Hung lineage apparently refers to the Trung family name as it was changed in translation.

"Foremost, I will avenge my country,
Second, I will restore the Hung lineage,
Third, I will avenge the death of my husband,
Lastly, I vow that these goals will be accomplished."

I have not yet read by Nghia M. Vo's book, The Trung Sisters.  It's on my list.

There are lots of movies about the Vietnam War.  None of them mention the Trung Sisters to my knowledge, but I've listed a few favorites below.  Nancy
