He is most known for writing the epic poem Kim Vn Kiều (titled 金雲翹 in Chữ Nm). Nguyễn Du was born in 1766 in Tin Điền village, Nghi Xun district, Nghệ Tĩnh province, North Vietnam.

For most of his teen years, he lived with his brother Nguyễn Khản and later with this brother-in-law Đon Nguyễn Tuấn. In 1802, he secured a military post under the Nguyễn Dynasty, and was promoted to ambassador to China in 1813. Kim Vn Kiều is one among many of his works. Other literary works included: Thanh Hin thi tập (Poems by Thanh Hin), Nam Trung Tạp Ngm (?), Bắc Hnh Tạp Lục(?).edit External links - Nguyễn Du, Our National Poet
