Biography

Vuong Trung Hieu was born on 7 September 1959. As a boy, he lived in Long Xuyen, Vietnam, with his parents, who were both teachers. He is the eldest in a family of eight children. He attended the primary school for male students in Long Xuyen named Thoai Ngoc Hau High School. In 1975, he and his family moved to Thoai Son, a district twenty-eight kilometers from Long Xuyen.

In 1977, not wishing to leave his home district, Vuong took the entrance examination to the An Giang College of Pedagogy and studied literature there. After finishing college in the 1980s, he and his siblings by turn entered universities in Ho Chi Minh City. Vuong earned a BA in Vietnamese Literature and a BA in English from the University of Ho Chi Minh City (now Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities). In 1991, he earned an MA in Historical Science from the Institute of Social Science in Ho Chi Minh City.[2]

Vuong Trung Hieu is fluent in English, French and Chinese. He began his writing career in 1987 with many articles for newspapers and magazines on Art, Literature, Youth, Philosophy and Women. These articles were published in newspapers and magazines in Ho Chi Minh City and in regions of South Vietnam.[3]

Evaluation

Before becoming a writer, editor and a translator, Vuong Trung Hieu was an active journalist. His articles were considered artistic and filled with humanity. They appeared in periodicals in Ho Chi Minh city, in An Giang and the other provinces in the Mekong Delta.

In order to make a greater contribution to the discipline of writing, Vuong Trung Hieu stated that to perfect his professional knowledge of the art, it was necessary to study from real life and the traditions of national history. After many years of hard work, Vuong obtained a degree of Master of Arts in Historical Science. With his knowledge and enthusiasm for gathering information, studying and synthesising it, Vuong wrote a series of books on editing and translation, which made a great impression to readers in the field of research.[5]
