Nguyễn Minh Châu

Died in 1989

Nguyễn Minh Châu was born in 1930 in the village of Thơi, in the district of Quỳnh Lưu, on the seashore of Nghệ An. He joined the army in the early fifties, served in the 320th Division, and in 1962 moved to the army's literary review, where he remained until his death. He was at first one of the writers of the war, then, once peace had come, turned his attention to the lives that the literature of combat had no room to tell. He died in 1989. The Hồ Chí Minh Prize was awarded to him eleven years later.
