The overseas Vietnamese author Nguyen Đuc Hiep wrote Sai Gon – Cho Lon, The Thao Và Bao Chi Truoc 1945 (Sai Gon – Cho Lon: Sports and Printed Press Before 1945).
The book is a part of a series about old HCM City, formerly known as Sai Gon. The book series also includes Sai Gon – Cho Lon: Qua Nhung Tu Lieu Quy Truoc 1945 (Sai Gon – Cho Lon, History As Described from Documents Before 1945) and Sai Gon – Cho Lon, Ky uc do thi và con nguoi (Sai Gon – Cho Lon, Memories of A City and Its People), which were both published earlier by the Culture, Literature and Arts Publishing House.
The meeting aims to help the readers understand more about the land and hope that people nourish love Since the late 1990s, HCM City’s urban landscape changed rapidly due to economic reform policy.
Many old colonial buildings and architecture from the last century continue to be replaced by modern high rise commercial and residential buildings.
“One of the reasons I wrote these books about HCM City is to preserve its past collective memories,” Hiep said.
“The various articles cover streetscapes, stories and narratives of people and societies in the past centuries, based on archival material from the National Library of France, the National Library of Viet Nam, the National Library of Singapore, private collectors and online sources”.
