Memoirs of Han Hing Quang: A Long Road Traveled
Translated from Vietnamese by his daughter Ai Hoa Han
The author was a middle-ranking cadre of ethnic Chinese origin in North Vietnam, where he worked for the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Hanoi and Hong Kong and served as an interpreter in official delegations to China and North Korea. From this vantage point he observed the deterioration in Vietnam--China relations that eventually led to the border war and his departure from Vietnam and resettlement in England, where he wrote these memoirs. He also describes his family background, his youth as a trader in medicinal herbs, and his activity in the Vietminh during the war against French colonialism.
