Ba Giai And Tú Xuất
Ba Giai and Tú Xuất are a fictional duo appearing in Northern Vietnam's popular folk tales. The two characters are typically nominally citizens under the early French colonial period, but stories may place them in earlier dynasties or later. The stories fall under the genre of Vietnamese comic or joke stories ( :vi:Truyện cười Việt Nam). The moral of the tale often concerns characterisation of the generous and stingy. During and after the independence struggle the moral of the tales may also take anti-colonial motifs.Nghiên cứu văn hóa nghệ thuật - Numéros 5 à 8 Vietnam.

French Cochinchina
French Cochinchina (sometimes spelled ''Cochin-China''; french: Cochinchine française; vi, Xứ thuộc địa Nam Kỳ, Hán tự: ) was a colony of French Indochina, encompassing the whole region of Lower Cochinchina or Southern Vietnam from 1862 to 1946. The French operated a plantation economy whose primary strategic product was rubber. After the end of Japanese occupation (1941–45) and the expulsion from Saigon of Communist-led nationalist Viet Minh in 1946, the territory was established by the French as the ''Autonomous Republic of Cochinchina'', a controversial decision that helped trigger the First Indochina War.
