The news of the sudden passing of Vice President of the Board of Directors of FPT University Hoang Nam Tien shocked many business friends and followers on social networks, especially in the book industry. Because in the book and publishing industry, Mr. Tien was quite active as an author and speaker.
Hoang Nam Tien is the author of many famous books such as: Letter for you, From Ben Hai River to Independence Palace, Applying AI to businesses, 13 lectures by Professor Tien on management and leadership...
Among them, Letter to You and From Ben Hai River to Independence Palace are two titles he wrote from the remaining documents of his parents.
The author of the first battlefield memoir of General Hoang Dan
Published earlier this year, From Ben Hai River to Independence Palace is the first battlefield memoir of Major General Hoang Dan, recording his combat and command experiences in major campaigns of the Vietnam People's Army.
The book realistically recreates important battles from the resistance war against the US, especially the Quang Tri campaign in 1972, where the 304th Division commanded by General Hoang Dan fought fiercely to hold the position, and the Ho Chi Minh Campaign in 1975.
More than just a personal memoir, the book is also a valuable military work. Important battles are described realistically, not only in terms of victory but also through difficulties, losses and important tactical decisions.
Sharing about the book, Hoang Nam Tien said he based it on his father's notes, memories, and memoirs: "My father passed away early and there is no official memoir. When reading the book, you will live in the extremely heroic atmosphere of the moment in 1975 and feel more deeply about the value of peace."

"The U60 guy" looks back at his parents' love
Letter to You was first published in mid-2024. According to the publisher Nha Nam, after nearly a month and a half, the book has been reprinted for the fourth time.
This is a heartfelt book that Mr. Tien wrote to tell about the two-century love story of Major General Hoang Dan and his wife, National Assembly delegate Nguyen Thi An Vinh.
At the beginning of the year, Letter to You was honored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as one of the 10 typical books of 2024.
They are Mr. Tien's parents, who loved each other since their twenties, became husband and wife, and together went through great historical milestones of the nation: Dien Bien Phu victory in 1954, Khe Sanh in 1968, Quang Tri in 1972, Saigon in 1975...
The book is based on more than 400 letters the grandparents sent each other during their time apart due to the war.
Hoang Nam Tien wrote very touchingly about his parents' affectionate love story, through those letters, not only to preserve the family's private memories, but also to tell today's readers about an extremely heroic and wonderfully romantic era.
Mr. Tien talks about his parents in the book: "I idolized my father since I was a child. I followed him to all the front lines, learning from him the courage of a general commanding troops on the front lines. I respect and love my mother, a strong woman with a warm heart. Although life has given me the opportunity to take on many positions, the thing I am most proud of is always being the son of my parents.
Over the years, every time I close my eyes and miss my mother, I feel a warm, dry hand touching me, gently rubbing my back, whispering to me Kieu verses, singing me a lullaby, whether I am a little boy or have become a bulky "young man" in my 60s.
