Twenty leading citizens of Danang are honored
By 1975, Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, who was known as Le Phuong Thao during wartime, had become a unique leader and an exemplary intellectual member of the patriotic youth and student organization in the South of Vietnam. Later, in the nineties, after mortgaging his house to raise the capital, he made determined, risky but sustained efforts, overcoming many obstacles, to establish DTU as the largest private university in Central Vietnam.
