It mentions how Minh resented saluting the French tricolor flag every morning in the courtyard of the Lycée Marie Curie and having to resort to an Encyclopédie Larousse to picture the flag of Vietnam. It also recounts Minh's youth of reading about the French youth under German occupation, singing songs from the maquis, and learning folk dances. The chapter illustrates Minh's risky role as liaison for her sisters and others in the resistance when they needed to pass on information or acquire medicines and other basics that could not be bought in the countryside. It also looks at Minh's heroism in nurturing family members throughout the war, becoming a pillar in the chaos.","PeriodicalId":446663,"journal":{"name":"The Saigon Sisters","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125661821","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}

It also details Le An's participation in the protest over the death of a student killed by French authorities in 1950. The chapter looks into the event of Le An joining her father and friends in the resistance, where she adapted to life in the jungle.
