Nông Đức Mạnh (; born 11 September 1940) is a Vietnamese politician and was the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the most powerful position in the Vietnamese government, from 22 April 2001 to 19 January 2011.〔Vietnam: Foreign Policy and Government Guide International Business Publications, USA. - 2007 Page 8 "Vietnamese Government Communist state - General Secretary Nông Ðức Mạnh - President Nguyễn Minh Triết - Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng "〕 Although his official biography states that his parents were Tày peasants,〔(Biography of Nông Đức Mạnh, the General Secretary of the CPV ), VNA, 22 April 2001〕 it has long been rumoured that Mạnh is the son of former North Vietnamese leader Hồ Chí Minh.〔Duiker, William J. (2000). ''Ho Chi Minh''. New York: Hyperion. Kindle location 11915. eBook ISBN 978-1-4013-0561-1.〕 Mạnh was born in Cường Lợi, Na Rì District, Bắc Kạn Province. His own son is Nông Quốc Tuấn, party secretary for Bắc Giang Province. ==Background== It has long been rumoured that Mạnh is the illegitimate son of Hồ Chí Minh (1890-1969) and Nông Thị Trưng (1920–2003), Hồ's housekeeper from 1941-42. This story may have been a factor in his selection as party boss.〔 In a profile of Mạnh published in the official press immediately after he gained this position, Trưng was identified as his mother.〔A footnote reads, "Mrs. Nông Thị Trưng is the mother of Comrade Nông Đức Mạnh" ("Tổng Bí thư Nông Đức Mạnh trong ký ức của một người thầy" ("A teacher remembers General Secretary Nông Đức Mạnh"), ''Thế Giới Mới'' (''New World''), Ministry of Education and Training, Vietnam, 30 April 2001, No. 434.)〕 Mạnh's official biography gives his date of birth as 11 September 1940,〔''Từ điển Bách khoa Việt Nam'' (The Encyclopedia of Vietnam), volume 3 (N-S), Hanoi, 2003. p. 302.〕 when Hồ was still in China. Ho returned to Vietnam in February 1941〔Green, Richard E. (Hồ Chí Minh biography )〕 and met Trưng in July. Hồ wrote a four-line poem for Trưng in 1944, and gave her a notebook as "a token of my love".〔''"This notebook I endear it to my beloved niece/As a token of my love/With the wish that you try to study/To build the nation later on..."'' (Hồ Chí Minh, "Tặng cháu Nông Thị Trưng" ("Present for Nông Thị Trưng"), 1944); in Vietnamese, see (here ) and (here ).〕 This poem was later taught to elementary school students. In April 2001, shortly after Mạnh was named as party boss, a reporter at a news conference asked him to confirm or deny the rumor. He responded, ''"All Vietnamese people are the children of Uncle Hồ."'' When asked again about the rumor in January 2002 by a ''Time Asia'' reporter, he denied he is Hồ's son and stated that his father was named Nông Văn Lai and his mother Hoàng Thị Nhị.〔("We don't want to keep secrets anymore" ), ''Time Asia'', 22 January 2002.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nông Đức Mạnh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
