It is a very popular place in Ha Noi for people to gather, to relax, to eat picnics, to do group Tai Chi exercises, to walk, to meditate, to hold hands. I had come here, aged 80, in these last days of 2011 on a journey of reminiscence and goodbye to see this ancient city once more and for the last time to see a man I had come to know well, Senior General (Dai Tuong) Vo Nguyen Giap, now old and sick in his 101st year of life. As I lingered near the water in the growing darkness, I recalled how the lake had gotten its name: the Lake of the Returned Sword. In the year 1418, a Vietnamese patriot, Le Loi (1384-1433), had grown increasingly angry at the Chinese Ming dynasty's control over the land and how its overlords badly treated his people. He wanted them gone! He wanted to fight them but had no weapons. Beside the waters of the lake in Ha Noi, he bowed in prayer to Buddha and asked for help. Suddenly, up out of the water came a giant turtle (Kim Qui) known as the Golden Turtle God, carrying in its mouth a magic sword on whose blade was inscribed the legend \"the will of heaven.\" It laid the sword at Le Loi's feet. Le Loi picked it up and now while holding the weapon having the strength of many men, he went in search of fellows, for there was no Vietnamese army to call upon. Gathering a force of common people, he went up against the Chinese and in a war of national liberation defeated the Mings and forced them from the land. Following his victory Le Loi went back to the lake and returned the sword to the Golden Turtle God which then submerged into the dark waters of the lake, never to be seen again. Thus the waters became known as the Lake of the Returned Sword. Le Loi went on to found the Le dynasty of Vietnamese emperors and is today recognized as one of the nation's greatest heroes. Hardly a town or village that does not have a Le Loi street. The man I had come to see was, like Le Loi, a hero to his countrymen and, like him, the leader of a war of national liberation. This modern Le Loi also had no weapons when in 1940 he began his task of freeing Viet Nam from foreign occupation. France had controlled and occupied Viet Nam for one hundred years, siphoning its riches and viciously treating any who resisted its power. Uprisings had occurred, but had been quickly smashed. Now, in 1940 the Japanese had taken over from the French using Viet Nam as a staging area for an attack upon India. Giap had no military experience, once commenting that he had learned the art of war by fighting. \"My only academy was the bush.\" In the northern hills, this former history teacher in Ha Noi, under supervision of Ho Chi Minh, established a \"beach head.\" Working with tribes there, he put together a small fighting force, unifying their hatred of the French. By war's end they had freed many of the northern prov","PeriodicalId":153082,"journal":{"name":"The Evolution of Knowledge","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124542321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
