As many as 101 photos capturing moments of life of General Vo Nguyen Giap, taken by photographer Tran Tuan, are being showcased at an exhibition opened in Hanoi on Dec. 21 as a celebration of his life.
The photos, taken since the 1980s, captured General’s Giap visits to former revolutionary base Tan Trao in Tuyen Quang province, and the former battle field Dien Bien Phu in Dien Bien province.
They also included the General’s meetings with heroic Vietnamese mothers, scientists and historians, former US Defence Minister McNamara and foreign friends.
Photographer Tran Tuan expects that the exhibition, launched on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (Dec. 22), will be a present to the General on his 101st birthday./.
