At the beginning of 1943, he was in severe pain. In the early morning of 1/3, he told the old servant to lift him up to sit up, look out at the East Sea, and close his eyes, peacefully leaving at the age of 80 with no relatives nearby. He left a letter, told to bury him in Nha Trang to be close to the people he loved. The whole village of Dunes that day and days later no one went to the beach. They cried like rain at the death of the benefactor who spent their whole life: ′′ Teacher of the year passed away, from now on, who will help us?". The house presented the altar with his picture in the most solemn place ..Today, every 1/3th of every year, the people of the region come to visit his grave. You are Alexandre Yersin. He was a student of Luis Pasteur who found the vaccine. When he thought he was about to get the next Nobel Prize in Medicine in Bach Ma, he decided to leave. He aboard the ship, became a doctor on the ship, and then loved every time the ship was in Nha Trang. He chose this place as his local residence, healing and spending his holidays on expedition. On 21-3-1893, he found the Lang Biang plateau. In other words, he is the ′′ father ′′ of Da Lat. In 1894, he found out rats are the cause of the plague. He opened the Pasteur Institute in Nha Trang to make vaccine to help Vietnamese fight this disease. He lives simply in a small wooden house, speaks Vietnamese well, anyone who is poor and sick comes to cure it for free. He made simple tools to forecast the weather. When there was going to be a big storm, he hung a very bright light in a high pole right on the roof of the journalist who told the people of Cun but didn't go, He spent his own money to hire plumbing scissors to put water machines in many places for civil use. He spent a large bookcase for the kids to read. He divided the sweets, taught them astronomy and meteorological forecasts. In 1902, he was appointed as the first Principal of the University in Hanoi. The last 25 years of his life, he focuses on studying the migration of temperate plants. Thanks to him, I have more salads, cabbage, carrots, salads, cauliflower... And especially have more coffee and rubber for Vietnam in the past.
