Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question. Passage: [I] Nguyễn Du (1765–1820), whose literary name was Tố Như and pen name Thanh Hiên, was one of Vietnam’s greatest poets and humanists. [II] Born in Tiên Điền Village, Nghi Xuân District, Hà Tĩnh Province, he came from a noble family with a long tradition of scholarship and government service. His father, Nguyễn Nghiễm, was a Doctor of Letters and once served as Prime Minister. [III] Nguyễn Du lived through one of the most turbulent periods in Vietnamese history — the late 18th to early 19th centuries — when feudalism was in crisis and peasant uprisings such as the Tây Sơn Rebellion swept across the country. These experiences deeply influenced his view of life and human suffering. [III] During his years of wandering in the North, Nguyễn Du observed the struggles of ordinary people. This gave him a deep sympathy for human pain, which later became the foundation of his literary works. [III] He was not only a great poet but also a true humanist who devoted his art to speaking up for the unfortunate and oppressed. Nguyễn Du wrote in both Chinese and Vietnamese Nôm script. His major works in Chinese include Thanh Hiên thi tập, Nam Trung tạp ngâm, and Bắc hành tạp lục. In Nôm, his masterpiece Đoạn Trường Tân Thanh (commonly known as The Tale of Kiều) and Văn chiêu hồn reflect his compassion and profound humanism. [IV] His writings denounce social injustice, praise the beauty of the human soul, and continue to inspire readers with messages of empathy and humanity. Nguyễn Du’s name lives on as a symbol of artistic genius and moral depth, reminding generations that great literature is not only about beauty in words but also about love for humankind.
