Hi Anh Lam,

   I am curious about the development process. Is the 1945 famine a shock 
to turn an Anamite into a Vnmese hero in Himlam?
  
   The hero spirit of Viets was at minimum when 7 French soldier attacked
Ninh Binh. The "Tua^`n Vu~" "a'n Sa't" with 2000 soldiers in hands have 
surrendered the castle. What a shame!

   The two defeats " Ha` Tha`nh Tha^'t thu?" did not lack heros like 
Hoa`ng Die^.u, Nguye^~n Tri Phu+o+ng, Nguye^~n La^m,...However, they lost
the belief to be able to resist in the very first moment. And dozen
of their arm mates surrendered so easily ( Look at "Ha` Tha`nh Chi'nh 
Khi' ca"). That is " da^n khi' dda~ ma^'t" and the whole nation has
fallen asleep. And Phan Sao Nam tried in vein to wake up " da^.y, do^`ng 
ba`o o+i da^.y ma` nghe to^i ke^? chuye^.n.."
  
  Vietnamese Nationalists fought bravely but hopelessly with the slogan
"Kho^ng tha`nh co^ng cu~ng tha`nh nha^n". One can not win with that slogan.

What shaked everything up?
 
  Cheers
  Aiviet
