Addressing the award ceremony at the office of the Vietnam Writers' Association in Hanoi yesterday, President Triet praised Son Tung's achievements throughout his life and career, adding that his works conveyed deeply humane messages that have been highly acclaimed by many readers over the generations. He not only studied and followed President Ho Chi Minh's moral example, but also used his pen to fight against social evils and protect his country and people, said the President.
