A Life in Dublin
Nghia from Vietnam - The Life of Ho Chi Minh
Today’s episode is a conversation about a man whose impact on the world will be spoken about for generations to come. Let’s start with the image of a man who basically vanished off the face of the earth for a number of years before he finally reappeared walking across the border from China to Vietnam with no possessions and essentially no identity. This man went on to garner a huge following and fought a revolution in his Country that had repercussions internationally. The man I speak of Ho Chi Minh.
My friend Nghia, a Vietnamese stand-up comic, spoke to me about the life and character of the person who had a number of different names in his life but became known as Ho Chi Minh, or the enlightened one. We avoid talking too deeply about politics in this conversation as I was more interested in learning about the type of person who could achieve such things in his life.
I really hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much I enjoyed having it. If you’d like to help support this podcast, you could share it with a friend or leave a rating or review. By doing so, we get to reach new listeners and continue to grow this really warm and supportive community. Thank you so much to everyone who has already done so, your support really means the world…
