Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh was born on May 15, 1959 in Hanoi. However, his official biography states that he was born in 1957. In several interviews with the press, he clearly explained that when he applied to join the army, he was only 17 years old. If he had declared his real age, he would not have been allowed to join the army, so he had to declare 2 more years.
He is the only son of the late General Nguyen Chi Thanh.
