Sharing the reason for choosing this topic, author Cho Chulhyeon said he was attracted to General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. "It is very rare for leaders of countries in the world to have a background in literature. When I learned more, I learned that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong is a long-time journalist. A leader who studied literature and used to be a journalist is interesting to me," the book's author shared.

With the desire that Vietnamese readers have the opportunity to access works written about General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong through the lens of a foreign writer to better understand the respected leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, on July 22, 2024, VNA held a signing ceremony for the Copyright Transfer Contract between VNA and Jammy Holdings Company and assigned the News Agency Publishing House to translate and publish the work Stories about General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in Vietnamese and Korean in Vietnam.
