Mr. Nguyen Sinh Cung / Nguyen Ai Quoc / Ho Chi Minh knows how to speak at least 7 languages: Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, French, English, Russian, and Japanese or Thai or Korean.
He was born in 1890. Until 1941, he spent most of his time abroad and then went back to Vietnam in 1941 to fight for independence, freedom, and happiness of Vietnam until he died in 1969. Unfortunately, many of his followers like Le Duan were not good leaders like he was.
