Lê Dư (1885?-1957), also known as Sở Cuồng, had very unique experience among the Vietnamese intellectuals in the early twentieth century. He shared experience and knowledge with those who were against European colonizers, but later became active in the collaboration with the French colonial, and hence Vietnamese government and the typical narratives often regarded him as a traitor. He had traveled across China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, and his had gained meaningful experience in East Asia. Lê Dư preferred historical research and area studies compared to political activities. He became a journal editor for Nam Phong Tap Chi (Chinese version) after returning from abroad. He had also published a number of articles in various journals. In 1924, Lê Dư joined École Française d'Extrême-Orient and launched the Vietnamese cultural study. Lê Dư made every effort to dig into those invisible or erased historical corner and borderline characters in the Vietnamese historical literature. The profound nationalism in his historical literature is not inferior to the anti-French colonialism. Obviously, people cannot judge him by the loyal dualism traditionally. Instead, we can rethink the complex diversity of expressive intention and behavior decision behind this type of documentation that recorded by the intellectuals who experienced the varied perspective from others. |
