Phan Boi Chau's real name was Phan Van San, his pen name was Sao Nam, born on December 26, 1867 in Sa Nam village, Nam Dan district, Nghe An province in a family of Confucian scholars.

Born in a country that was destroyed and his home destroyed, witnessing the daily misery and slavery of the people, he soon formed the idea of ​​patriotism and love for the people. With the policy of saving the country in a violent direction, Phan Boi Chau founded Duy Tan Hoi, Viet Nam Quang Phuc Hoi, and then Viet Nam Quoc Dan Dang to gather forces to fight with revolutionary weapons and ask for foreign aid.

In particular, this was an important link, a milestone marking the friendship between Vietnam and Japan in the field of culture and education, and to this day the Dong Du movement still retains its value in the cause of national development.
