Collection of Poems "Prison Diary" by Ho Chi Minh – A Work of Profound Humanity and Creativity
"Prison Diary" is a collection of Chinese-language poems written by President Ho Chi Minh during his imprisonment in China (1942-1943). Although initially composed as a way to pass time, the work reflects his strong spirit, desire for freedom, and unwavering will.
Unlike classical Tang poetry, Prison Diary employs common, colloquial language and leans more toward narrative rather than lyrical expression or strict tonal and semantic parallelism. Professor Phuong Luu identified this as an innovation in the "narrative quatrain" form, capturing both the daily life in prison and Ho Chi Minh's optimism and profound character. Notable poems such as "Sharing Water," "Writing Reports for Fellow Prisoners," and "On the Train to Lai Tan" vividly illustrate these themes.
This collection is not only a literary masterpiece but also a valuable historical document, embodying Ho Chi Minh's patriotism and deep appreciation for Chinese culture—while still maintaining his unique creative approach rather than following traditional poetic conventions.
