have been translated into Mongolian by President of the Mongolia-Vietnam
Friendship Association (MVFA) Doctor Sonomish Dashtsevel.
Dr.
Dashtsevel, 67, has spent nearly 10 years on the project with the hope
that it would help introduce President Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism,
simplicity and greatness to younger generations of Mongolians.
“When reading the Prison Diary, I felt closer to Uncle Ho’s personality.
The poems demonstrate his determination, patriotism and love for his
people,” said Dr. Dashtsevel.
He has spent considerable
time studying the collection’s translated versions in Russian, English
and French languages and made great efforts to preserve the spirit and
philosophy of the poems, besides the rhyme and meaning of the words.
As MVFA President, Dr. Dashtsevel has served as a bridge linking the
two countries through friendship groups and the economic and trade
cooperation of businesses.
The Mongolian Doctor, a former
student of the Literature Department, Hanoi University , has a
boundless love for the late Vietnamese president and his poems.
He has been married to a Vietnamese lady and his regular trips to
Vietnam aim not only to visit his wife’s hometown but also to find out
more about the culture and people of Vietnam./.
