General Nguyen Thi Dinh was born on March 15, 1920, the youngest of 10 children in a farmer family in Luong Hoa commune, Giong Trom district, Ben Tre province. Growing up, the youngest girl, Dinh, became a beautiful young woman, was married to a rich man by her family. But being enlightened to revolution since she was 16 years old, she decided to choose Bich - one of the comrades working with her brother.
They lived together for short happy days before Mr. Bich went to work. Then the months of thunderstorms struck. When the child was born for 3 days, Ut Dinh accepted that her husband was sentenced to 5 years in prison and 5 years in exile. On July 19, 1940, she and her 7-month-old son were arrested. They brought her son and her to the Kham La Ben Tre and forced her to send her son home before the exile to Ba Ra. There, she received the news that Mr. Bich had died in Con Dao.
In extreme pain, she still remembers her husband's words, "Engaging in the revolutionary path is to be imprisoned, death", remembering comrades and prisoners. That made her energetic to stand firm until she was released from prison. In 1944, Nguyen Thi Dinh made contact with the Viet Minh movement and plunged into revolutionary activities again. During the August Revolution, the 25-year-old widow held the flag leading thousands of people taking over Ben Tre town.
