	A Southeast Asian foil to Western moral tensions: Nguyen Du’s Tale of Kieu
		The Tale of Kieu is a compact narrative poem of some 3250 lines, composed by an accomplished scholar of the early nineteenth-century imperial court in Vietnam.
		The Tale of Kieu is framed within the startling claim that earthly talent and beauty are burdens to be borne (1-7; 3241-3252), rather than, as American optimism simplistically would have it, unalloyed blessings to be enjoyed.
		Nguyen Du, The Tale of Kieu, a bilingual edition translated and annotated by Huynh Sanh Thong, with a historical essay by Alexander B. Woodside(New Haven: Yale University, 1983).

		Written by Nguyen Du (1765-1820), Truyen Kieu (The Tale of Kieu) was produced during the social and political upheavals of the 19th century, and is now a cornerstone of Vietnamese literature.
		Early on in the story, Kieu has to choose between Kim, to whom she has pledged herself, and her family.
		Unmoved by Kieu's sale into prostitution (the elderly "scholar" Kieu got married off to was in fact a brothel keeper - "She'll bring at least three hundred liang, about what I have paid - net profit after that."), the fates actively oppose her wishes by keeping her alive when she attempts suicide.

		Movie Kieu shows no sign of ever seeking out any alternatives in the industrialized world to help her relatives, whereas there were no options for book Kieu.
		Her relationship with the photographer is supposovely "abusive," much like kieu's relationship with Scholar ma in the novel or any of the other b******s she was forced into relationships with.

	In one sense
		This is not to suggest that The Tale of Kieu is prophecy in any manner of speaking, but to suggest that the spirit of Kieu really does embody the spirit of the Vietnamese People.
		The spirit of Kieu is one of quite perseverance and strong resolve.
		Through her life Kieu faced hard times and even though she tried to end her life once, she was able to persevere.

		Morality is one of the main issues in the controversy surrounding the events of Kieu and her nature.

		It is undeniable that Kieu’s act was a moral one when she refused Kim’s lustful advances when they first hit it off.

		Though Kieu's wanderings are somewhat episodic, the entire epic is rather enchantingly framed by a Cinderella-like relationship with a departed spirit who protects the girl and woman.
		For Kieu's dependence upon fate (and her impotence as a female within her society), the tale can seem like another tiresome account not of female heroism, but of misogynistic fun with a female lead.
		Nonetheless, as Thong's introduction explains, Kieu can also be seen as a depiction of strife-torn Vietnam, a country whose history of national sorrow precedes the Vietnam war by centuries.

	Review \| No Man's Land by Duong Thu Huong
		The beautiful and talented Kieu must forsake her love (consummated just in time) in order to help her family, which in those days meant long stints as a prostitute, singer and servant.
		After a 15-year absence (one year longer than the time Bon was off to war), Kieu and the hunk reunite in a gorgeous, bittersweet wedding.
		Suddenly boss-less and under pressure to show some love to the new regime, Nguyen Du used Kieu to make the broader political point that even during times of upheaval, the principles of fidelity and chastity must be defended at all costs.
