Khái Hưng

Trần Khánh Giư was born in 1896 in Cổ Am, in Hải Dương, the son of a mandarin, and studied at the Albert-Sarraut lycée before teaching for a time. He was the eldest of the group, and by far its most widely read novelist: he wrote some twenty books in twelve years, from novels of manners to historical novels, as well as children's tales and plays. Involved after 1945 in a nationalist party opposed to the Việt Minh, he was arrested and killed in 1947, at the age of fifty-one; it is not known where he is buried.
