Nguyễn Văn Tạo: “Viết báo vì tư tưởng, vì chủ nghĩa”

Nguyễn Văn Tạo was born on May 20, 1908, in Phước Lợi Village, Long Hưng Hạ District, Chợ Lớn Province (now Phước Lợi Commune, Bến Lức District, Long An Province). During his time in the underground revolutionary movement, he used the alias Nguyễn An. He was the only Vietnamese member of the Central Committee of the French Communist Party, a steadfast communist who remained unyielding in the face of enemy repression, a talented journalist who wrote in both French and Vietnamese, and a revolutionary fighter who was ready to sacrifice his life for the ideal of national liberation. Although Nguyễn Văn Tạo’s time in journalism was not long, his name left a lasting mark on the history of Vietnam’s revolutionary press, making significant contributions to the struggle for national independence and freedom.
