According to Youth Reference, most Vietnamese are no strangers to Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The era of "comrades plus brothers" initiated by Ho Chi Minh and Vietnamese leaders is still remembered by people today. At present, many people named "Zhiming" in China are also said to be influenced by Ho Chi Minh. Recently, scholars in Taiwan Province Province put forward an amazing view: Ho Chi Minh was actually from Taiwan Province Province, China. So, how credible is this statement?
1.* * * Production International made "body double"?
For a long time, the resounding name of Ho Chi Minh has given many people the impression that he was a dazzling star active on the international stage in the 1940s and 1950s and a hero in the eyes of the Vietnamese people.
According to the available information, Ho Chi Minh, a revolutionary of * * * *, used many names in his life: Ruan as a child, later renamed Ruan, Ruan, alias A San, Chen Minxian, Li Rui and Song, which was dazzling. In addition to Vietnamese scholars, scholars from the United States, French, Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province have also written biographies in different versions. Although the materials and methods used by these researchers are different, their views and conclusions are similar-Ho Chi Minh's life is full of too many mysteries. For example, in the past, everyone knew that Ho Chi Minh was unmarried for the liberation of the Vietnamese people. However, in recent years, academic circles have been discussing whether Ho Chi Minh married a Guangdong woman named Zeng in June 1926+00.
From June 2008 to October 2008, Taiwan Province Baixiang Culture Publishing House published Hu's Biography of Ho Chi Minh. The book is divided into five chapters, the topics of which are: the drama of the dragon thief turning into a phoenix, the true and false life of Jin Chan, the wandering years, the elegy of marriage and love, China's diary in prison, will and conclusion.
Hu's view is that Ho Chi Minh and Nguyen are not the same person. Ruan is Vietnamese, and Ho Chi Minh is actually from Hu and Taiwan Province Province. Hu's plan to replace Ruan's "Replacing Trees with Flowers" was that the production of * * * was leading in the world. Hu believes that Ruan and Hu are both * * * international party member, and both work in1929 ~1932 * * international far east bureau. Ho Chi Minh was patriotic from 1890 to 1932. Ho Chi Minh 1933 to 1969 Hu is a native of Taiwan Province Province.
In the book, Hu tries to prove that "the real Vietnamese Nguyen died as early as 1932, and Ho Chi Minh after 1933 was actually a Hakka Hu from Miaoli, Taiwan" by using the collected historical materials and declassified files and comparing some research monographs and some personal data. Stunning!
2. As one family says, a hundred schools of thought contend.
Hu claimed that he had no political or commercial intentions. However, after the publication of Hu's book, it caused different degrees of repercussions in Vietnamese communities in Vietnam, France and the United States. Someone contacted the author, invited him to give a speech in the United States, and even asked for authorization to publish the English version of the book.
Nonsense, as far as he knows, some Vietnamese have no objection to his views, because now Vietnam has close economic ties with Taiwan Province Province, and Vietnamese are more concerned about economic development. Some Vietnamese even think it is a good thing to have "relatives" between the two places.
Hu's statement is obviously inconsistent with the Vietnamese official's statement, but the Vietnamese official has not yet responded to this. As for whether Vietnamese officials don't know this statement, or think it's too absurd to refute it, it's unclear.
However, there are still many voices of doubt. First of all, the author's motivation for publishing a book is very suspicious. According to the author's own statement, he tried to prove that "this Hu is not another Hu", and his motive was only to fulfill his father's last wish and "return his uncle Hu to his true colors". From the perspective of academic research, this typical conclusion is not desirable.
In addition, although the author graduated from the History Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University, his previous works only involved metaphysics such as the Book of Changes and Feng Shui, and his textual research skills also made some readers unconvinced. Some people criticized the book for lack of evidence or unclear explanation of evidence. Some readers even doubt the quality of the publishing house that printed the book and the author's own qualifications.
Here is a brief introduction to the most controversial points in the book.
3. One of the focuses: 1932 Is Ruan really dead?
This is a key question about whether Ho Chi Minh around 1932 is the same person.
In the book, Hu confirmed that Ho Chi Minh "suffered from tuberculosis all the year round" according to the tracing of Ruan's patriotic medical history. Even he admitted that he was weak, and even in the early 1930s, he was very willing to engage in public affairs. In addition, the author also quoted many first-hand information of that year (including official records, such as "Ruan died of illness" in the file of 1933 Ruan), and pointed out the following points: Ruan was arrested in Hong Kong in June 193 1. 1932 At the beginning of this year, Ruan was released from Hong Kong and went to Singapore. 1932 At the beginning of this year, Ruan was arrested again in Singapore and taken back to Hong Kong for detention. All major media in Hong Kong have reported on this. Subsequently, the news of Ruan's mysterious disappearance came out. Later, some newspapers in Hong Kong, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other places published the news of his death, and Vietnamese students from Moscow Oriental University also held a funeral and memorial service for the revolutionary. Since then, Ruan has disappeared for nearly 10 years. It was not until June 6, A.D. 194 1 that Ho Chi Minh first published the Letter to His Compatriots in the patriotic capacity of Nguyen, leading the Vietnamese people to the independent revolution.
Hu believes that this is * * * making international high-level skills. He believes that * * * production international has created a series of false information: for example, 1932 spring, it fled to Xiamen to rest for half a year; 1933 early, it went from Shanghai to Moscow; 1933, Ruan met his French friend Paul Valancourt in Shanghai for a long time.
However, Hu believes that according to Ho Chi Minh himself, he arrived in Xiamen with 1933, which is obviously inconsistent with the official "false information". As for the existing materials about Ho Chi Minh from 1932 to194/kloc-0, they are all "supplementary materials afterwards".
Those who oppose Hu's view believe that Ruan Yu 1932 died of illness and the news reported by all parties was because Ruan "deliberately fabricated false news to escape the pursuit of French agents". Nguyen was an influential revolutionary leader in Vietnam in the 1920s and 1930s. It is not difficult to make such fake news. Although the details are unknown to outsiders, since Hu believes that all parties have the ability to direct "substitute flowers for trees", isn't it equally feasible to direct "returning to life" to retain revolutionary leaders? It is precisely because of Ruan's patriotic influence that students held a memorial service according to media and official reports. Out of respect and memory for the late revolutionary star, this is human nature. In addition, Ho Chi Minh has been to many cities in many countries all his life, and it is normal to recall some mistakes even after many years.
4. Focus 2: Why is the Chinese proficiency advancing by leaps and bounds?
Professor William, Duke of America, devoted himself to studying the life of Ho Chi Minh. He is the author of Biography of Ho Chi Minh (published in 20001), and Sophie Kun, an associate professor at Temple University in the United States, is the author of Lost Years of Ho Chi Minh:1919 ~1941(published in 2003).
According to these two books, Hu sorted out Ruan's early experience in learning Chinese, and based on this, he thought that Ruan's Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing ability was limited when he lived to 1927. However, after 1927, Ruan wandered around and got sick. How can he have the time and energy to learn Chinese and write such a high-level Chinese work as Prison Diary? The high level of China's calligraphy by Ho Chi Minh is even more incredible. In addition, it is said that Hu, the author of Prison Diary, should be a Hakka.
However, the opponent's eyes are also discerning. In response to Hu's doubts about Ruan's Chinese ability, opponents believe that it is too arbitrary to judge Ruan's Chinese ability only by some documents. From 19 1 1 to 1930, Ruan is fully capable of learning Chinese by himself, instead of relying on school education and the guidance of some people to improve his Chinese attainments. Besides, Ho Chi Minh has a high language talent, lived in China for a long time, and had a high cultural level in contacts with China revolutionaries. Even if his Chinese is advancing by leaps and bounds, it is not surprising.
Hu's assertion that "the diary in prison was written by Hakkas" is equally doubtful, because some of the so-called "unique words transformed from Hakka dialect", such as "cage" and "washing face", are also commonly used words in Vietnamese, while some word-splitting games, China historical allusions and some celebrity poems reflected in Ho Chi Minh's "Diary in Prison" are not profound, so they are not profound.
In addition, the book also involves some discussions about Ho Chi Minh's personal feelings and experiences of displacement. Limited to space, I won't introduce them here.
The author of this book is not sure either.
In fact, as a displaced revolutionary, Ho Chi Minh has some vague mysteries in his life, which should be considered normal.
As early as 1990s, when Ho Chi Minh's poems were published, a Vietnamese Canadian, Li Youmu, once said that Diary in Prison was not Ho Chi Minh's work. But Li Youmu can't produce strong evidence to prove it, so most people think that Li Youmu is catching shadows. But Hu's book is an improvement. After all, the book provides some historical materials and demonstrates them. From the perspective of academic research, Hu's argumentation method in this book is debatable, but it also has a lot of inspiration for later researchers and is helpful for Ho Chi Minh's further study.
Some people think that although Hu's book lacks some direct evidence, it also provides many indirect arguments. However, most people who have read this book still find it difficult to agree that Ho Chi Minh is the Hu of Taiwan Province Province, because even Hu himself is not sure.
