SPEAKER_08: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today's leaders were a formidable pair of warrior queens who ruled their homeland for three years after successfully revolting against their Chinese occupiers. Though they lived nearly 2,000 years ago, they're considered a national symbol of Vietnam to this day. Let's talk about the Trung Sisters. Sisters Trung Trac and Trung Nhi were born in a rural village in what's now northern Vietnam, sometime around the year 12 CE. There's little historical record of their early lives or background, but traditional Vietnamese lore and some Chinese sources hold that they came from a military family. At the time of their birth, the Chinese Han Dynasty controlled what's now Vietnam, following a military victory a century earlier in 111 BCE. In order to administer the new territory, the Han set up nine commanderies. Three of these commanderies sat in what today is northern Vietnam, where the Trung Sisters were born. Vietnamese lore contends that their father was a prefect of the region who raised his daughters from a young age to be highly educated and very well-versed in the martial arts, martial history, fighting skills, and strategy. As his only heirs, the sisters were in line to share inheritance of their family's holdings and titles, and their father wanted them to have all the advantages that any son would have. From a young age, the sisters were also apparently exposed to the consistent cruelty of their Chinese rulers. The extent of that cruelty is unclear, but what we know for sure is that there was significant unrest at the time in these newly acquired Han lands. Chinese rule became increasingly strict, and the Chinese began imposing new laws on the region. The Han saw the people on the fringes of the empire as lacking sophistication compared to the cosmopolitan Chinese, and wanted to bring them in line with the prevailing cultural standards and trends. One can imagine how little these sentiments were appreciated by the people living there themselves. At some point in her early life, Trung Trac married the son of a neighboring prefect. Soon after the marriage, as Chinese rule became more unbearable, Trung Trac's husband took a stand against the Han and was executed. Though the execution was meant to ward off further rebellious actions, it had the opposite effect. The Trung sisters took up the banner and began fanning the flames of revolution. Their message spread like wildfire. In the year 40, the sisters took up arms and successfully kicked a small Chinese military unit out of their village. Though it was a seemingly small victory, it served as proof that the Chinese could be beaten, so the sisters assembled a large army of mostly women fighters. According to Chinese historical accounts, within months, the sisters' army had captured approximately 65 cities and liberated their homeland from Chinese rule. They are recorded by the Chinese as being incredible warriors. The sisters became queen regnants of their recaptured homeland, and for three years they ruled, holding strong against the Han who consistently attempted to retake the region. After three years, the Chinese put together a large military force led by a famous general to end the rebellion and reconquer lost territory. In 43 CE, the Trung sisters were defeated in battle. The fate of the sisters is unknown. Some Vietnamese sources claim that the sisters died in battle after their forces deserted them. Some Chinese sources say that the sisters were decapitated and their heads were sent back to the Han capital. Other accounts claim that the sisters committed suicide by jumping into a river to avoid capture. Regardless, the Trung sisters removed the trung and the Trung sisters remain important national symbols of Vietnamese resistance, freedom, and independence to this day. The sisters can be found in Vietnamese folk art depicted as two women riding giant war elephants.

When she discovered the narrator was in fact the evil twin, which is also different to Noah's. Anytime the cute cyberpunk is mentioned, even though in reality he'd be totally out of his league, from two to Amazon books, that reading feeling awaits.
