Various activities take place to mark Poet Nguyen Du’s birthday
Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Dang Thi Bich Lien and leaders of Ha Tinh province co-chaired the meeting in Hanoi on October 2 to review activities to celebrate 250 years since the birth of great poet Nguyen Du (1766-1820).
As heard during the meeting, since August of the year, the organising board has held press conferences, an international seminar and run a promotion campaign covered by the media in central Ha Tinh province, the poet’s hometown.
Notably, a quiz on Nguyen Du and his most beloved work, Truyen Kieu (The Tale of Kieu), has gathered more than 210,500 entries nationwide, while relevant biographical documentaries and films are being completed.
At the session, Deputy Minister Dang Thi Bich Lien asked the organising board to concentrate on the organization of the Cultural and Tourism Week in Ha Tinh province.
The major celebration event is scheduled to run in Ha Tinh from December 3-5.
Nguyen Du, also known as To Nhu and Thanh Hien, was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Celebrity among 108 others in 2003.
