POST 740 …

 

In the early 1950s, the war against the French was still going on in full with the famous battle of Dien Bien Phu. In areas under communist control, Ho Chi-Minh, under the influence of the communist movement of Mao Tse-Tung in China, triggered a land reform program which lasted until 1956. The plan was to seize the lands of the landlords and distribute them to proletarian farmers. This reform led to the disappearance of the peasant landowner class who were branded ‘enemies of the people’ in the communist ideology. More than a hundred thousand landowners, big and small, had their land seized. They were arrested and many of them were executed. The grandfather of Mr Nam, who had been regarded as a benefactor of the party of Ho Chi-Minh, did not escape this terrifying purge. He also was executed.

Mr Nam's father, a fervent activist, had become an important member of the Communist Party before the land reform. From its landowner origins and his opinions to the freedom of thought which did not follow the party line, he was disgraced. In 1959, he was arrested and disappeared. Being categorized as of landowner origin and therefore ‘enemy of the people’, his family was isolated from the society and lived under hardship. Mr Nam was born in September 1959, three months after the disappearance of his father. His mother returned to her family and somehow managed to survive. A few years later, during the Vietnam War in the spring of 1965, when Nam was six, his maternal aunt, taking advantage of the great disruption caused by the U.S. bombing of Hanoi, took him with her to the city of Thanh-Hoa where she lived. There, she managed to get him a new identity with a proletarian origin, in order to avoid any discrimination. Those formalities done, he attended school and lived a normal life. Since then, he was known as Tran Van-Nam, son of the late Tran Van-Viet, proletarian peasant from the village of Dung-Tu in the province of Thanh-Hoa, where he spent most of his childhood.

At the age of fourteen, by exceptional circumstances, he met a group of underground people practising martial arts. Their master was a talented martial artist, known by the code name of Tran-Thanh. The master, detecting the exceptional talents of Nam, took him as a student in his group of disciples. Later, Mr Nam became one of the four fearsome masters trained in this underground martial arts school designated by its members as Thap Doi, a camouflage name that has no martial meaning and would not attract the suspicion of the authorities. One of the missions of that school, that trains exceptional high-level martial experts, is to fight dictatorship and injustice.
