In the May edition of the Neues Deutschland newspaper, which he worked for, Hellmut Kapfenberger explored President Ho Chi Minh’s devotion to the revolutionary cause that liberated Vietnam from colonialism.
He gave a brief insight into the major events in President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary life since 1911, when he set off to seek ways of freeing the nation, until 1945 when he founded the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
A former correspondent for ADN - the official news agency for East Germany before reunification, Herr Kapfenberger looked back at the central province of Nghe An, where President Ho Chi Minh was born with the name “Nguyen Sinh Cung” and the countries where the President visited, such as France, the UK, Germany, the US, the former Soviet Union, China, and Thailand.
Years of living and working in Vietnam have enabled the German journalist to write a lot about the Southeast Asian country and President Ho Chi Minh as he has a thorough understanding of the country and its former leader.
In 2009, he published a book featuring the chronicles of President Ho Chi Minh in the German language to commemorate the 40 th anniversary of the President’s death.
The Vietnamese version of the “Chronicles of Ho Chi Minh” hit the bookshelves in Vietnam on May 18, 2010 to coincide with the 120 th anniversary of the President’s birthday./.
