HA NOI — The Viet Nam National Political Publishing House has published a new book on President Ho Chi Minh to celebrate his 122nd birthday on May 19.

The 200-page book, entitled Ho Chi Minh Ong Tien Song Mai (Ho Chi Minh: The Immortal Fairy), was written by Thai writer and activist Suprida Phanomjong and translated into Vietnamese by Nguyen Thanh Hoan and Nguyen Thi Thuy Chau.

Phanomjong was touched to see how the Vietnamese people worshipped the President, who also had a strong attachment to Thailand. He established a Vietnamese village in 1928-29 in the north-eastern part of the country.-VNS
