The New Hero (1952–1964)

History without biography would be something like rest without relaxation, food with no taste, and a bit like a history of love without love.

Victor Albjerg1

1The world of the new hero is steeped in both myth and reality. The heroes at Tuyên Quang were real people, endowed with omnipotence by an authoritarian and internationalist political rhetoric. In the Vietnam of the 1950s, the new hero represents the slow and progressive disappearance of individual memory in the face of the propaganda apparatus of the State. The new Vietnamese hero differed from the emulation fighter because of his close bond with the central government. Although this close collaboration was sometimes fictitious, the heroic figure was designed to be the incarnation of a value; he was an absolute in flesh and blood presented to society as the conduit of an ideal. The new hero was a transmitter, the alchemist of a new transformation between the government and its people. He alone ushered in the acceptance of a new idea and gave life to an immaterial temporal power bearing the weight of national tradition. Since 1950, the DRV conformed to the dictates of an internationalist framework and the hero was always clad in modern-day dress, either as Catholic peasant in 1952, valiant warrior in 1955–56, or outstanding worker from 1958–1962. He fulfilled a double mission: on the international scene, he positioned the DRV on the scale of “friendships” that they had procured with their brother nations; on the domestic front, he helped the people identify with their leaders in a nation torn apart by war. By the time the war resumed with the South (1964), he had been overused, however, and his efficacy dulled, to the point where popular sayings and proverbs made fun of his overexposure. The new hero inhabited the realm between myth and reality, a fragile but very real emanation of the essence of a nation born from the originary struggles of their mythic Hùng kings.

This album was a power pop-dance LP with the theme "NTV Virus". Two music videos were filmed for the album: "Thế giới trò chơi" and "Ngày tươi sáng", a cover version of jtL's "A Better Day", which was directed by Jackie Chen. These two videos were the first Vietnamese music videos to feature professional special effects and are listed among the most expensive Vietnamese music videos to date.

In 2004, Vân followed up with her second album, Bí ẩn vầng trăng (Mystery of the Moon), which featured a moon theme, on 15 March. Three videos were released from this album: "Bí ẩn vầng trăng", the cheerleader-themed "Vươn đến tầm cao" ("Reach for the Sky"), and the ballad "Khi nào em buồn" ("Whenever I'm Sad"), which was later covered by many artists including Mắt Ngọc, Minh Thuận, and Thanh Thảo.

In October 2006, Vân premiered one of her new songs "I Won't Stop Loving You," a new collaboration with Quốc Bảo, on the final episode of 21st Century Woman on VTV.

Female director launches film project on Vietnamese superman

The film, Vinaman, will feature challenges and secrets about a superman who fights evil and protects justice.

Its first poster was released on Van’s Facebook page last week, attracting many likes and comments from film critics and fans.

Van and her studio, Studio68, are working on casting the film.

“The world has Superman, IronMan and SpiderMan. How about us? I wanted to capture a Vietnamese superhero named Vinaman, who has a Vietnamese spirit and character, in my new film,” Van wrote on her Facebook page.

Her film is based on real stories in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I saw many doctors and volunteers in the fight against the virus. I don’t think a superman should be the strongest. I believe he should be a person who makes the biggest sacrifice,” she wrote.

Nguyen Thi Kim Chi, a 10th-grade student from HCM City, said: “Van has a lot of experience in the industry. She performed in Hollywood films and has worked with talented Vietnamese and foreign film directors. Her film, Vinaman, will be the best work of its kind on superman in Vietnam."

Van began her movie career in 2004 with a leading role in Rouge, a 13-part TV series produced by international channel MTV Asia, after spending years in music and on the catwalk.

In 2006, she played a leading role in Dong Mau Anh Hung (The Rebel), a kung fu film directed by Vietnamese-American Charlie Nguyen. The film won the Grand Jury Award at 2007 Sharing Visions, a biennial international film festival for Vietnamese filmmakers held in Los Angeles.

Van has performed in several films and TV shows before becoming a director and producer. Her first movie as a producer was the comedy film Ngay Nay Ngay Nay (Once Upon A Time), a co-production between the artist and her partner, Canadian-Vietnamese director Cuong Ngo,
