Vu Trong Phung is an outstanding realist writer of Vietnamese literature from 1930 to 1945. He wrote in many genres, most notably reportage and novels. The novels of the writer Vu clearly reflect the social reality of Vietnam during the French colonial period, through a rich world of characters, with all types of people in society. Among them, a type of character emerged that did not exist in the prose of contemporary realist writers: the character of an intellectual who plays the role of an official. The character of an intellectual official possesses all the good qualities such as: integrity, respect for justice, defending the weak, living with love and affection, etc. It can be said that, in creating this type of character, Vu Trong Phung had a progressive mindset in reflecting reality without bias. Thanks to that, the picture of Vietnamese social reality in the early 20th century emerged more comprehensively.
