A portion of each purchase of one of our Vietnamese Gongs goes to help SOLDIER’S HEART. They are a great organization that brings former Vietnam War soldiers back to Vietnam to help with PTSD healing. These connections include meetings with former Vietnamese soldiers and the many spiritual healings that occur when former "enemies" embrace their sameness, not their differences.

No, it couldn't have been because they were attractive.You see, the Trung Sisters were also descendants of the founder of the Vietnamese people. Trac and Nhi’s family were one of the special elite. Kind of like the Kennedys Roosevelts, or Bushes. THEN ALSO, as a matriarchal society, Vietnamese women could hold equal ranking as men.The Trung sisters liberated huge swaths of Vietnam from the Chinese. They commanded an army of 80,000 soldiers. They deemed themselves Queens of Vietnam. The two sisters ruled the newly independent Vietnam.They were dedicated to restoring Vietnam back to its traditional ways. For three years, the Trungs and their army fought and held off the Chinese.Then the Chinese sent a new general and a lot of resources to deal with the Trung Sisters and into taking back Vietnam.Many of the supporters of the Trung Sisters had returned to their lands. What they had left was no match for the Chinese army.According to Chinese history, the Trung sisters were executed.According to Vietnamese history, the sisters committed suicide by drowning in a river to maintain their honor.***** Andrew from Gongs Unlimited here.
