Posthumous Post
Please enjoy four interesting paintings depicting the life of the ordinary Vietnamese people when Vietnam opened its door to the world after long periods of Communist Rule.
The first National Congress of Laboratory Medicine was held at the University Hospital in Hanoi soon after Vietnam opened its doors to the world. I was fortunate to be one of the earliest foreign guests to be invited to speak at a national meeting such as this. I was also brought to visit many art galleries and acquired many paintings featuring local scenery and people engaging in various activities.
