His father, Dr Nguy\u1ec5n Xu\u00e2n Mai, one of the first graduates of the Medical school in Hanoi in 1910, enlisted as a volunteer auxiliary doctor in the French Army in 1916 during the First World War. Though he suceeded in getting his doctorate in France, he died at the early age of 40 as a result of war injuries. In Tonkin, H\u00e0 was raised by his grandfather, Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n \u0110\u0103ng, who was serving as a civil servant (<em>lettr\u00e9 de residence<\/em>) in the Vietnamese administration (Tonkin under protectorate). His great grandfather had been one of the 19 martyrs of the Vicariate during the Nguy\u1ebdn Emperor T\u1ef1 \u0110\u1ee9c\u2019s persecutions against the \u201cperverse religion\u201d.<br \/>\nThis history of this Northern Catholic family over 4 generations is based on private archives (with important visual sources and interviews) and colonial and religious ones. It intends to present also an overview on a period of great transformation where modernity and tradition were the challenges of the new ongoing Vietnamese elite. <\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Speaker<\/strong>:<br \/>\nClaire Thi Li\u00ean Tr\u00e2n is an historian of contemporary Vietnam and works on the history of Catholicism, state \/ religious relations, the history of elites and of the press.
