| HANDWRITING OF NGUYEN CHI THIEN IT IS A SAD FACT OF LIFE THAT PROMINENT FIGURES WILL BE HARASSED TO TRY TO DISCREDIT THEM -- EITHER FOR POLITICAL OR MONETARY GAIN. IN THE CASE OF THE LEGENDARY NGUYEN CHI THIEN, HIS HANDWRITING FROM THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT HOA DIA NGUC AND HIS SUBSEQUENT WRITING AFTER IMMIGRATING TO THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN ANALYZED BY EXPERT MARCEL B. MATLEY OF SAN FRANCISCO. THIS ANALYSIS TOOK PLACE IN OCTOBER 2008. THE HANDWRITING IS THE SAME IN 1979, 1994, 1995, 2005, 2007 and 2008. There is only one Nguyen Chi Thien, who barely survived twenty-seven years imprisonment in Communist Vietnam between 1961 and 1991. Not even the totalitarian war criminal Ho Chi Minh could break his will or his gift for poetry. |
