To appreciate Santung's struggle, the community called Santung a hero from Kuala Jambi, but over time, the story of Santung's heroism gradually faded. This reseach use history method with memry studies approach. The process of remembering carried out by so many people on a certain time scale, and then passed down to the next generation, will form a collective memory structure.
