The exchange session "The mysterious intelligence general and the super missions" - The super teacher of spies only had 1 speaker, journalist Hoang Hai Van, and 1 MC on stage, because the co-author - journalist Tan Tu - Head of the Reader Affairs Department of Thanh Nien newspaper was busy and could not come. Mr. Hoang Hai Van attended the opening ceremony of the Journalists' Book Week early in the morning, then stayed for the talk about book writing with journalists Le Minh Quoc, Bui Tieu Quyen, Lai Van Long, Bui Phan Thao.
The audience, including many young people, enthusiastically asked questions to journalist Hoang Hai Van.

Young people enthusiastically asked questions to the speaker.
The book The Mysterious Intelligence General and His Super Missions by authors Hoang Hai Van and Tan Tu, in this reprint (only 2 months after the first printing), has brought many valuable documents to readers about the portrait of the famous intelligence activist Ba Quoc before and after the historical milestone of 1975.
Reviewing the past to learn the present, journalist Hoang Hai Van recalled the reason why there was a book about Mr. Ba Quoc, which originated from Mr. Ba's closest and most excellent student, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh - former Deputy Minister of National Defense of Vietnam who matured from the early days of entering the intelligence field. When he finished writing the book The Teacher (People's Army Publishing House) - a book depicting the portrait and life of his teacher's persistent and courageous revolutionary activities, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh immediately remembered the series of 36 articles in Thanh Nien newspaper published since 2004, after which he suggested that the authors compile them into a book.
The 36 articles are 36 different thrilling stories, contributing to the "unique" intelligence life of Mr. Ba Quoc - a super double agent, who infiltrated two leading intelligence agencies in the South, the Department of Social and Political Research (under the Ngo Dinh Diem administration) and the Central Intelligence Office (under the Nguyen Van Thieu administration). Here, he had countless reports and valuable information about the enemy, rescuing our cadres from dangerous situations...
Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh was the one who "sponsored" for journalists Hoang Hai Van and Tan Tu to meet their teacher to collect documents. Remember in 2004, when Thanh Nien newspaper published a series of 36 issues of "The mysterious intelligence general and his super missions" about Mr. Ba Quoc's 20 years behind enemy lines, people only then learned about his simple, profound but very courageous portrait.
The book The Mysterious Intelligence General and the Super Agents has just been reprinted to be released to readers.
Taking the 20-year mark to look back after the death of intelligence activist Ba Quoc, a mark that, as Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh confided when writing the introduction to the book, needed a certain "time lag" to "settle in", The Mysterious Intelligence General and the Super Agents includes valuable details about Ba Quoc's life after 1975, which was even more glorious than the period before this mark.
In the author's words, Hoang Hai Van emphasized that after receiving encouragement from General Nguyen Chi Vinh, for the first time, many valuable documents about the revolutionary life of veteran General Ba Quoc after 1975 were published in the section "Epilogue - Twenty years in review".

When asked by readers if there are many thrilling stories in the book, author Hoang Hai Van smiled and affirmed that of course there are. He added that there are stories that "make you shiver when you read them". At the same time, he emphasized that you should read the book to learn more about the portrait, as well as the precious legacy that Mr. Ba Quoc left for the Vietnamese military and political science industry.
