According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, the project to restore and embellish the tomb and monument of Hai Thuong Lan Ong Le Huu Trac (in Son Trung commune, Huong Son district, Ha Tinh province) is currently being accelerated by the contractor with machinery and workers.

The project is undertaken by a joint venture of Ha Tinh Cultural Construction Consulting and Construction Company Limited - Tai Nguyen Company Limited - Thanh Cong Construction Development Investment and Design Consulting Company Limited (Ha Tinh City).

According to the direction of the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province, the project must be completed before December 20 to organize the 300th anniversary of the birth of the famous physician Hai Thuong Lan Ong on December 27, 2024.
The organization of this national-scale ceremony is planned to include high-altitude fireworks displays to celebrate the new year 2025 in Ha Tinh.
Previously, on November 26, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long signed a decision to rank the Le Huu Trac Tomb and Memorial Site (in Huong Son district, Ha Tinh province) as a special national relic.
The famous physician Hai Thuong Lan Ong was born on November 12, 1724 in Lieu Xa village, Duong Hao district (now Yen My district, Hung Yen province). As a child, he followed his father to study in Thang Long capital, and soon became famous for his intelligence in Confucianism, medicine, philosophy, and numerology...
Living in a time of turmoil and chaos, at the age of 26 he left his officialdom to take care of his elderly mother in his maternal hometown in Bau Thuong village (Tinh Diem commune, now Quang Diem commune, Huong Son district, Ha Tinh province).
For more than 40 years hiding in the "remote mountains", Hai Thuong Lan Ong diligently searched for, researched, and cultivated indigenous medicinal plants, wrote poems, taught, wrote books, and treated people.
He died in 1791, leaving behind a shining example of medical ethics, medical theory, and medical skills. His tomb is located at the foot of Minh Tu Mountain, on the banks of Ngan Pho River (Son Trung Commune, Huong Son, Ha Tinh) - a place of beautiful mountains and rivers, with pine trees rustling and wind singing all year round.
