According to Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, “Hue, the Immortal Years” can be considered a collection of memoirs depicting the social context and aspirations in the struggle for Hue.
“Hue, the Immortal Years” has 787 pages
Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co emphasized that the anti-US movement of the people, and especially of youths and students in Hue, deserves a memorial monument. "It’s been written for the generation of the heroic people of Hue who participated in the resistance against the US in South Vietnam until 1975. If we hadn’t published this book, it would have been a disservice to history and future generations.”
