With the concept that the surface field is not equal to giving his son a letter, Mr. Trach Council tried everything to let Uncle Ba go on the road. After three years in a foreign land, Uncle Ba returned home. In order to welcome the return of his son to be worthy of the family routine, Mr. Trach Council from Bac Lieu to Saigon went to the car company on the corner of Charner (Nguyen Hue) – Bonard (Le Loi) to buy a new car. Although the family’s old Ford is still in use and is the coveted dream of many people. Uncle Huy’s car. This car is currently on display at the Bac Lieu Prince’s showroom Looking at the council man with his grandmother’s clothes, with the … countryside with a faint smell of rice, the car salesmen showed disdain.

He also did not mention that he left the capital of light a French wife and a half-blood child. Unlike Bach, because he loved the stage, when he went to France, besides having fun, he also approached the Western stage, Ba Huy only focused on agriculture. Uncle Ba accumulated a little capital for farming, so he was then assigned by the council to look after the estate. However, being not interested in the job, Uncle Ba immediately hired a Frenchman to look after and manage the land and gardens. In his spare time, he indulges in playing, leaning with love affairs, going crazy with red and black animals… Compared with the king Going to Bac Lieu to meet the elders, you can hear anecdotes about . This anecdote follows the waterfall anecdote that makes the story of Ba Huy even more vivid. The story is told that after being assigned to manage the estate by his father, every time he visited the field, his father wore a cravatte vest and sat in a Ford vedette. In areas that have to travel by water, he uses canoes. At that time, all vehicles on the river were rowing.

This car was in the South at that time, in addition to his father, only one other person used it, King Bao Dai. Legend has it that in this world, Uncle Ba is not inferior to anyone, including kings. So whenever King Bao Dai had something, Ba Huy got it, including an airplane. The small plane was bought and brought back to Vietnam. Thanks to his time in France, he learned to fly, so Uncle Ba is a pilot who controls the plane every time he visits the field. King Bao Dai’s plane was purchased with public funds. Only Bac Lieu’s son is the only Vietnamese who owns a private jet. The reputation of Bac Lieu’s son’s way of life and play resounded throughout the land of Cochinchina.

Once he flew a plane to visit the fields in Rach Gia, he went to Ha Tien. The scenery of Ha Tien was so beautiful that he kept wandering around in the sky until the fuel gauge ran out, he had to land at a nearby airport. Unfortunately, that airport is in Thai territory. Thai authorities impounded the plane and then fined an amount equivalent to 200,000 bushels of rice. Mr. Trach Council had to mobilize a rather long group of boats to carry rice to Thailand to pay the fine to welcome his son back. A newspaper at that time named Le Courrier Saigonnais also published information about this aircraft purchase event. The expression “Bac Lieu’s son” was born in the early 20th century to refer to the children of rich people who are more interested in playing than in learning and working. At first, this idiom was just to generalize about the rich children in Bac Lieu, but later on, because Ba Huy’s play performance was so outstanding, everyone understood that when it came to this word, it was referring to him. Prince of Bac Lieu Tran Trinh Huy is a special phenomenon that is probably difficult to find a second person in this world.
