He had just attended a diplomatic ceremony at Gia Long Palace, standing beside President Ngo Dinh Diem in front of ambassadors from various countries, impeccably dressed and calm. No one knew what he was about to do. After the barbershop, he returned to the ministry and drafted his resignation letter to President Diem. The news spread throughout Saigon before sunset. The government ordered newspapers to: "Foreign Minister Vu Van Mau shaves his head — discard." Prohibited from publishing. Twelve years later, that same man was appointed Prime Minister of the Republic of Vietnam on the afternoon of April 28, 1975. His government lasted less than 48 hours. The cabinet didn't even have time to present itself to the nation before everything was over. This is the profile of Professor Vu Van Mau — Minister of Foreign Affairs for eight years, a leading legal scholar of the South, and the last Prime Minister of the Republic of Vietnam. A man born in the village of Quat Dong on the banks of the Nhue River, a graduate of the Paris Law School, a lecturer at the University of Saigon, served in Diem's ​​cabinet before publicly resigning, arrested and released, went to India and returned, wrote books while in politics, and then took on the final responsibility when everyone else had left. In this account, we recount that entire journey—from little-known details like the night President Diem personally called all night begging him to stay, to the special intervention of the Vatican Archbishop to secure his release, to the morning of April 30, 1975, when the Prime Minister decided not to board the evacuation ship, and what happened afterward. This is the story of a man with a compass—and where that compass led him. ─────────────────────────────────────── MAIN CONTENT IN THIS EPISODE THIS: ─────────────────────────────────────── ✦ Hailed from Quat Dong village, Ha Dong — a scholarly region of Northern Vietnam ✦ His educational path from Hanoi Law School to the Paris School of Law ✦ 8 years as Minister of Foreign Affairs under President Ngo Dinh Diem ✦ The secret behind the decision to shave his head on August 22, 1963 ✦ The night President Diem called him all night begging him to stay ✦ Who intervened to secure his release — and the paradox of History ✦ Trip to India and meeting with Prime Minister Nehru ✦ Why General Duong Van Minh chose him as Prime Minister in 1975 ✦ The last 48 hours of the Republic of Vietnam ✦ Why he stayed in Saigon when everyone else left ✦ Academic legacy still cited today #modernhistory #HistoricalDocuments #SouthernVietnam #DuongVanMinh #BuddhistCrisis #RepublicOfficialMinister ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This video is made for the purpose of providing historical information and education, based on compiled and selected sources.
