When comrade Nguyen Tien Trac moved to another place, in order to continue to build a revolutionary base, his superiors sent comrade Ca Lam (Le Tung Son) who is from Hung Yen to replace him with the task of propagating and enlightening a number of young people. years here.

At the end of 1928, the Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth Union of Tonkin sent officers to Sai Thi to check, found that there were conditions to set up a branch, so it decided to establish a branch of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association.
