Alexandre Yersin

 

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.
