News at Eleven: As a teacher, she [Nguyen Thi Bich Hanh] felt duty-bound

to educate her young students on how to use the internet in a constructive way, and how to search for, gather and analyse useful and correct information found online.

Inspired by her own experience, Hanh encouraged her students to look for stories, poems, and other writings published prior to the Communist era when Vietnamese authors were free to express their thoughts and emotions. With her students she shared the belief that freedom is the essential condition for artists' creative work. Many of the writings in question are not available in Vietnam, but can be accessed online.
