“Nam Phương - Hoàng hậu cuối cùng” | Lý Nhân Phan Thứ Lang

“Nam Phương - Hoàng hậu cuối cùng” is a book that collects stories about Queen Nam Phuong, the talented and beautiful woman from Go Cong - Tien Giang, who completely conquered the heart of Emperor Bao Dai to ascend the throne of the Nguyen Dynasty in 1934.

Being born in a rich family, the life of a girl named Nguyen Thi Lan would have been much calmer and happier if she hadn’t met the young emperor of Dai Nam - Emperor Bao Dai. Her life took a completely different turn when she became the wife of the king. It was expected to be a life of honours and power, but it turned out to be grief and loneliness until the last years of her life.

The marriage between Emperor Bao Dai and Queen Nam Phuong experienced all the ups and downs from happiness and peace to separation and woe when Emperor Bao Dai had consecutively extramarital relations. However, Mrs. Nam Phuong still wholeheartedly looked after her children and was faithful to her husband without complaining half a word. Throughout her life, she has lived true to the four virtues: diligent work, tasteful appearance, proper speech, and good moral. She not only deserved to be a perfect wife and mother, but also a trustworthy model in the world, as well as a typical modern woman in Vietnam: cherish husband and children with all her heart, and have citizen’s responsibility to the country.
