On September 17, speaking with Lao Dong Newspaper reporter, Mr. Vo Hong Nam - the youngest son of General Vo Nguyen Giap - said that Ms. Dang Bich Ha, wife of General Vo Nguyen Giap, had passed away.
"She passed away at 0:50 on September 17. The family is preparing the work, there is currently no funeral program," said Mr. Vo Hong Nam.
Ms. Dang Bich Ha was born in 1928 in Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An province. She is the eldest daughter of Professor Dang Thai Mai (former Minister of Education, first Director of Institute of Vietnam Literature).
At the end of 1946, the wedding of Commander-in-Chief Vo Nguyen Giap and Mrs. Dang Bich Ha was held very simply. For more than two-thirds of a century as a life partner, beside General Vo Nguyen Giap, Mrs. Dang Bich Ha silently acted as a solid rear base accompanying him throughout the arduous years of war until he returned to the world of the good people.
Mrs. Dang Bich Ha and General Vo Nguyen Giap had four children together: Vo Hoa Binh, Vo Hanh Phuc, Vo Dien Bien and Vo Hong Nam.
