Han Mac Tu

Han Mac Tu is commonly well-known as a talented but miserable poet. His poems emerged in Vietnamese poetry during 1920s-1930s as sobbing heart-breaking voices of a young soul who was suffering leprosy, an incurable disease at that time.

His inner voices have stirred millions of hearts and have been respected by many Vietnamese people. His part of life and poetical career in Quy Nhon City still leave traces that arouse commiseration of all people who hear about him.
