Dag-Rune ZIf local ladies, then selfies<br>
<br>
And then we have the senior tourists slouching on the bench. Sensible to do after a day exploring Hanoi.<br>
<br>
Everything is what it should be, at an evening by the most famous city lake in Hanoi.<br>
<br>
Hoan Kiem lake, also known as “(Lost) Sword Lake", are in the shopping and sightseeing center of Hanoi. The political capital of PR Viet Nam is a large city, with rivers, channels and lakes, but Hoan Kiem is the lake you have to visit.<br>
<br>
It is not a tourist trap, as it attracts vietnamese as well as tourists and internationals all day and evening.<br>
<br>
In the south end, several old gates frames couple taking their wedding pictures. In the center, an old temple, near the north side an old pagoda. Around it, heavy traffic.<br>
<br>
And in the evening, soft light and people relaxing together after a long day.<br>

Dag-Rune ZTranquility, Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi<br>
<br>
A quiet spot in a big city.<br>
<br>
It is the most famous city lake in Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake, and it offers peace too. Even if the rest of the area is bustling with activity in the evening. <br>
<br>
The city lake of Hanoi are one of my favorites in Asia, particular in the evening when people are using it as a social arena. Both by locals and visitors. It is a place to meet, greet, eat and drink, and to read, quietly observe or seeking inner peace. The park and the lake is big enough even for rather peaceful activities.<br>
<br>
The area around the lake is already used for morning classes and individuals doing Tai Chi.<br>
<br>
And now meditating people is adding to their numbers mornings and evening.<br>
<br>
The concept of meditating in public spots has been on the rise the later years, according to local media.<br>

<br>
Hogan Kiem Lake is a must visit in the center of classic Hanoi, the capital of modern Viet Nam. Both day and evening. <br>

The country’s resources were plundered, & the people exploited as cheap labour & reduced to grinding poverty. So determined were the French to maintain their colonial hold at any cost, they collaborated in power-sharing with Japanese <a href="https://beige.party/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/occupiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>occupiers</span></a> who brought horror & starvation from 1940-1945.</p><p>Despite this, led by the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietMinh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietMinh</span></a> Front, people of Vietnam triumphed in the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AugustRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AugustRevolution</span></a> of 1945 & the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam (DRV) was declared on September 2nd. Democratic elections took place in January 1946 but French troops, with the open support of the US & Britain, attacked the new Viet Minh administration in the south of the country & the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WarOfResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WarOfResistance</span></a> against <a href="https://beige.party/tags/France" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>France</span></a> began.</p><p>Binh studied French at Lycée Sisowath in Cambodia & worked as a teacher during the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/French" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>French</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonisation</span></a> of Vietnam. She joined <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnamCommunistParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnamCommunistParty</span></a> in 1948. Upon joining, she immediately began work as a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/grassroots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grassroots</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AntiColonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiColonial</span></a> organiser. From 1945-1951, she took part in intellectual protest movements against French <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonists</span></a>. She was arrested & jailed between 1951-1953 in <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Saigon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saigon</span></a> by the French <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonial</span></a> authority in Vietnam. She was repeatedly interrogated under torture & sentenced to death but was reprieved & released in very poor health in 1954.</p><p>Upon release from prison, Binh went north to work in <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Hanoi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hanoi</span></a> for the National <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WomensUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensUnion</span></a>. Her job took her to many localities where she witnessed first-hand the impact of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonialism</span></a> & the French War on ordinary people & especially women & children. </p><p>1954 was a year of victory for the Vietnamese army. The defeated French were forced to sign the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GenevaAccords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenevaAccords</span></a> recognising the independence, sovereignty & unity of Vietnam. The country was temporarily split in two at the 17th parallel, with the French moving to the south from which they would withdraw, while the Viet Minh went to the north. A general election for the government of a united country was to follow within 2 years. </p><p>But it never happened. The <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> came centre stage to ensure that the Accords were never implemented. Driven by strategic interests in the region, it made sure that Vietnam stayed divided – preventing an election that would have swept Ho Chi Minh to power with 80% support, while bankrolling & controlling the reactionary <a href="https://beige.party/tags/regime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>regime</span></a> of Diem-Nhu south of the 17th parallel. This regime violently suppressed all opposition, executing of thousands of Viet Minh supporters & condemning hundreds of thousands to concentration camps and prisons.</p><p>In response, the NLF (for liberation of South Vietnam & unification) was formed in 1960. Nguyen Thi Chau Sa was assigned to the Foreign Affairs Section of its Re-unification Committee & given the name Nguyen Thi Binh (Peace). From 1962 onwards, her high-profile diplomatic work, took her across the world. She represented the aspirations of the people of Vietnam in every country & forum she visited, while the world’s strongest <a href="https://beige.party/tags/imperialist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imperialist</span></a> power made all-out war on her small country.</p><p>During the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietnamWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietnamWar</span></a>, she became a member of the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Vietcong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vietcong</span></a> Central Committee and a vice-chairperson of the South Vietnamese <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WomensLiberation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensLiberation</span></a> Association. In 1969 she was appointed foreign minister of the Provisional <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Revolutionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolutionary</span></a> Government of the Republic of South Vietnam. A fluent French speaker, Bình played a major role in the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ParisPeaceAccords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParisPeaceAccords</span></a> - an agreement that was supposed to end the war & restore peace in Vietnam.</p><p>She was expected to be replaced by a male Vietcong representative after preliminary talks, but became one of the group's most visible international public figures. During this time, she was famous for representing Vietnamese women with her elegant & gracious style, and was referred to by the media as "Madame Bình". She was also referred to as the "Viet Cong Queen" by Western media.</p><p>After the war, she was appointed Minister of Education of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam from 1982-1986; the first female minister ever in the history of Vietnam. Binh was a member of the Central Committee of Vietnam's Communist Party from 1987-1992. She was the Deputy Chair of the Party's Central Foreign Affairs Commission & Chair of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee. The National Assembly elected her twice to position of Vice President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the terms 1992–1997 & 1997–2002.</p><p>Bình has authored several op-eds, including a one on the state newspaper Nhân Dân in which she voiced concerns that the current personnel policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam have allowed some "incompetent and opportunistic" individuals to enter the party's apparatus. She also criticized the Party's focus on increasing membership at the expense of "quality."</p><p>From March 2009-2014, she served as a member of the support committee of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RussellTribunal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussellTribunal</span></a> on <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a>.</p><p>Madame Bình became a source of inspiration & namesake for Madame Binh Graphics Collective, a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RadicalLeft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadicalLeft</span></a> all-women poster, printmaking, & street art collective based in NYC from 1970s-1980s.<br>Many Americans in the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AntiWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiWar</span></a> movement were proud to wear T-shirts printed with the portrait of "Madame Binh". By then, she had become a symbol for female soldiers of the legitimacy of Vietnam's efforts.</p><p>Madame Bình has been awarded many prestigious awards & honours, including the Order of Ho Chi Minh & Resistance Order (First Class). In 2021, President of Vietnam Nguyễn Xuân Phúc awarded her the 75-year Party Membership Commemorative Medal.<br>To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, the Government of Vietnam commissioned the official portraits for 12 former foreign ministers from 1945-2020.

She became internationally known for her role as the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietCong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietCong</span></a> (NLF)'s chief diplomat & leading its delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. She later served in the government of reunified Vietnam after the Fall of Saigon & became the country's Vice President in 1992. She is the first woman in Vietnamese history to be appointed a cabinet minister.</p><p>Nguyen Thi Binh was the only woman to sign the Paris Agreement on Ending the War & Restoring Peace in Vietnam on 27th January 1973. South Viet Nam was liberated on 30th April 1975 & the two parts of Vietnam were finally brought together in 1976 as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.</p><p>In her memoirs, she said: “My own life, in concert with the life of our nation, has helped me understand that seizing political power and demanding independence were extremely difficult, particularly when opposing colonialists and imperialists. However, maintaining political power and building a nation…is much more difficult.”</p><p>At Hanoi Peace Conference in November 2022, she stated:</p><p>“Having suffered numerous sacrifices, pain and loss during decades of struggle against foreign aggression and for peace, independence and freedom, the people of Vietnam deeply appreciate the value of peace,” she told those gathered. Warning that the danger of wars, including a nuclear catastrophe, is greater than ever before, she stressed the vital importance of “rallying and uniting peace forces and movements” to halt aggression and build a world of peace and justice for all.</p><p>Ref: Nguyen Thi Binh.

From that point on I was determined to seize upon our country's literature and on modern learning to awaken our citizenry."</p><p>Quyen advocated the modernisation of Vietnam's <a href="https://beige.party/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> system. Around 1903 or 1904, Quyen met Tang Bat Ho, who had returned from his travels abroad & talked extensively about the modernisation of Japan. In 1904 he met with Phan Bội Châu, but Quyen had little in common with Chau's ideology of using violence to achieve independence. Quyen went on the work with Lương Văn Can & Le Dai in setting up the Dong Kinh Thuc Nghia, which sought to strengthen the Vietnamese people & thereby the likelihood of independence through the training of a new, more modern generation of scholars.</p><p>In 1908, Quyen was arrested in a general crackdown by French authorities and sent to jail on Côn Lôn island. He died in the prison which was infamous for torturing political prisoners.</p><p>Ref: Marr, David G. (1970). Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885–1925. Berkeley: University of California.

Ms. Que Banh<p>Nguyen Huu Tho (July 10, 1910 - Dec. 24, 1996) was the chairman of the National Liberation Front <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NLF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NLF</span></a> - the South Vietnamese political organization formed in 1960 in opposition to the U.S. backed Saigon government.</p><p>He was born in the same Chinatown district (Cho Lon in Saigon) that my patriarch family lived & where we had our large incense factory.</p><p>The son of a rubber-plantation manager who was later killed during the First <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Indochina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indochina</span></a> War (1946–54), Nguyen Huu Tho studied law in Paris in the 1930s. Returning to <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Saigon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saigon</span></a>, he set up practice, remaining politically inactive until 1949, when he led student demonstrations against the French; he also organized protests in 1950 against the patrolling of the southern Vietnamese coast by U.S. warships. He was imprisoned & won popular acclaim for his prolonged hunger strike in protest of the war.</p><p>After the Geneva Agreements divided Vietnam into northern & southern zones in 1954, Tho cooperated with the southern regime of Ngo Dinh Diem until he was arrested for advocating nationwide elections on reunification. Except for a short period in 1958, Tho remained in prison from 1954-1961, when he escaped with aid of some of his anti-Diem followers. These men, who had recently formed the NLF, made Tho, a noncommunist, provisional & then full-time chairman of the NLF.</p><p>In 1965, he delivered an anti-imperialist speech, a booklet was later published in English, entitled SPEECH. His title was given as: President of the Presidium of the Consultative Council of the South Viet Nam National Front for Liberation on the 5th founding anniversary of the NFL.</p><p>Tho served as a figurehead leader. Real power in the NLF was held by its military arm, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VietCong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VietCong</span></a> & by veteran communists who reported directly to the North Vietnamese leadership. Tho helped attract a wide spectrum of South Vietnamese supporters to the NLF. In June 1969, the NLF established a Provisional Revolutionary Government with Huynh Tan Phat as president & Nguyen Huu Tho as chairman of its advisory council. The PRG became the government of South Vietnam in April 1975, when Saigon government’s troops surrendered to the North Vietnamese & PRG forces. Tho was made a vice president of Vietnam in 1976, a post he held until 1980, when he became acting president.
