Poetic Obituaries: When [Huynh Van] Tieng attended college

in Hanoi from 1940-1944, he formed a famous trio with Luu Huu Phuoc and Mai Van Bo, composing songs, writing poems and plays calling on the youth to stand up and fight for the country's freedom.

Tieng's contributions as part of the trio became his most remembered activity as their works were considered as having great artistic, social and political values, becoming official songs for many democratic and liberation movements.
