An array of events are scheduled to take place from early August to the end of December this year, including a number of seminars, talks and competitions on Nguyen Du and his hallmark “Truyen Kieu” (the Tale of Kieu) alongside several documentary film and theatre productions based on life of the poet and his family.
The highlight will be a national ceremony to pay homage to the poet this November in Ha Tinh. Although the poet spent his life in Hanoi, his family roots stem from Ha Tinh and will be the centre of the celebrations.
