Hai bản tấu thư của Phúc Khang An và câu trả lời của Lê Quýnh ở Trung Hoa

Abstract

In order to nullify the resistances of the followers from the previous dynasty, Fu Kang-an (The Qing’s Governor-Viceroy of Liang-Guang) asked the leaders of the groups secretly to go to China. As they came to Guangxi, the Le’s groups were isolated and forced to shave their heads and change to Chinese outfits. Enraged by their betrayals, Le Quynh - the leader of the Annamese group retorted: “Our heads can be chopped but our hair can’t be cut, our flesh can be skinned but our clothes can’t be removed. We are Annamese as alive and should be Annamese as dead”.
