Associate Professor Nguyen Van Hong was born into a Confucian family with many generations of teachers. His hometown is in the poor but studious Thanh land - also a cultural land that has produced many talented people in literature and martial arts throughout the ages. To his students, he often confided: "My hometown is very poor, because of poverty I have to try to study and study to live.”. Once, he told his father that he did not want to continue the family teaching profession. The father looked at his son for a long time and said: “My child, society and times can change, social positions also change. Only the title of teacher will never disappear. It is a beautiful and noble profession.With just that sentence, teaching became a destiny, a career that followed him throughout his life.
