As a Vietnamese, I am very grateful for what Bao Dai's ancestors did for the country during 400 years. But for Bao Dai alone, he really didn't contribute anything to his country. He spent most of his time at the palace with his mistresses.
And I think Nam Phuong is a very beautiful woman (even by modern Vietnamese standards).
I think she would have done a better job than him
She certainly is! 🌺
No wonder communism took over Vietnam 🇻🇳
Why exactly the revolution happened?
Correct. Completely useless they were.
She is the epitome of a true royal: educated, classy, extremely intelligent and firmly stuck to her beliefs (she came from an established Catholic family in southern Vietnam). Too bad she had quite a lonely and quiet life after the disposition of the monarchy and lived thousands of miles away from her homeland and subjects.
you praise her for being educated and classy but what about rest of vietnamese population of that time ?? .. id the monochery not use their privilege to help their people then they not deserve to rule over the people .
@@sakurakou2009 what about the rest of the population? There were plenty of other wealthy and educated people in society back then, not just her, but just because you're wealthy doesn't mean you're classy. And just because they're wealthy doesn't mean they're obligated to help anyone. The video mention did contribute to many charitable causes during her time as queen, so what point are you trying to prove?
@@sakurakou2009 1. “Monarchy”. Not to mention the hardly intelligible sentences. Learn proper English, if you can’t then don’t use it. 2. She was the first person to donate most of her jewelry to Viet Minh in 1945 in Hue. She led by example although she was not empress anymore. 3. She used her influence and connections to condem the British for letting the French back in Viet Nam. She fulfilled her duty as empress even though she didn’t have to and deserved every right to be respected. Read some book, learn some history, try to think with your brain instead of your ass.
@@sakurakou2009 shut up man. What she supposed to do? Born into french rule. The people wouldn't support the monarchy after 1945 and 1954
@@sakurakou2009 first at the time the French ruled the people, not the monarchy. Second after August 1945, she donated large amount of gold and jewelry to help feed Ho Chi Minh's army. Such is the action of an unselfish person who loves her country.
Yes she's a well-known queen of Vietnam , came from the one of three richest families in down South Vietnam. Most Vietnamese don't know much the history of who is who but Nam Phuong , she made her husband ( the king) well-known as well.
The life of a true lady. Thank you for sharing the video.
If I had the talent, I would love to create an opera about her. I wish some great film director would make a movie one day.
There is actually a Music Video about her! th-cam.com/video/ayJY9ieBuEU/w-d-xo.html
She carried herself divinely and expressed herself with grace, qualities that are admirable and deserve respect!
He might as well divorce her rather than leaving her hanging like that. At least she could have gained freedom and travel, find new friends or look for someone new to be with and live a longer and fulfilling life.
Back then, Oriental societies were not like it’s today, it was not illegal for women to divorce or remarry, but the whole society would look down on her and create many bad noises, as a queen that would be even more disturbing
@@maidat4026 that's sad.. I thought she would have more freedom than average women during those times since she has some power and living in a western country. I forgot how tough societies were those days especially for women public figures
@@donijaya true😕
She was everything an empress could be. And the same husband who broke protocol for her didn’t even show up at the end. She deserved better.
What an amazing story. We may call it loneliness but it seemed that she found peace and a sense of freedom!
interesting comment Carlita, it made me thinking. Freedom give us peace, loneliness give us heart ache and might be fatal.
Vietnamese royal kings have the characteristic "chinese Influence" of having concubines(modern mistresses). She, being the queen consort, knew and accepted her fate. That was why she did not make a fuss about it. It's tradition.
but the former emperor should not have abandoned her in the end. that is not tradition. she should have been given, even after they lost power, all the respect and support due to her as the empress.
Bao Dai, ironically broke his promise, unlike other previous emperors, Bao Dai studied in Western atmosphere, so he was somewhat westernized, when he married Nam Phuong, he did swear not to take any concubine, and the rest is history
Most of asian royal are like that darling. And still.
@@ucmanhho9457 There is something wrong with this statement. Westernized. I don't like that word. It raises my hackles for some reason.
We live in an era where the practice of Polygamy has mostly died out. Most women would not toletate such a thing. I myself don't get the appeal but that doesn't change the fact that it was once a widespread cultural practice in many countries, in one form or the other.
We don't have to understand or support it but we also should not superimpose our modern day values on the people from a different era. And the idea of needing to be "westesnized" should make you better in some way....... really?.
Look at the Thai king now hunney! He’s a playboy who has tattoos and plenty of women to play with. The news also mentioned his “royal consort” which is unfamiliar in the 21st century
Her beauty, intelligence everything wasted on a spineless unfaithful man. I believe no woman should allow this to happen to her. She should have moved on in life. I would have respected her even more.
She did move on with life; she lived in a castle and didn’t waste her time on him anymore lol
She was a Empress, the gall.
My mom used to have coins from the Bao Dai reign. We took it on the refugee. I didn't know of the history of the coins until my late 20s where I notice the coin on the internet. I ask my siblings of where are those old coins that mom took with her on the refugee. Somehow those coins disappeared. I was really sad.
Ohh nooooo,how could, i am vietnamese and a coin collector, this gives me pain
Dang! They are now worth thousand dollars now.
Think of Saint Anthony, ask him to find coins for you. He never fails to find lost properties.
She countered pain with grace. What an admirable woman.
This is a rare and great research of history. I grew up hearing only her name and nothing else. Thank you!
I think she died more of a heartbreak than of heart disease.
After all the sleeping around and mistresses, he did not even show up for her funeral. What a sorry human being.
You make it seem like she is an angel with no faults. Not true... she had her faults and flaws too which hurt the king too.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj oh wow, no i really want to read her history
@@cintaadalahanugrahyangkuas3267 Yes you should and I did not know until my oldest brother told me. She was a nice lady overall,but had her faults too. The fact that she was Catholic did not help either.
Ho Chi Minh gave him a high Position on the council but he can't forget the past richy life so he betray the gorvement, go with french and founded the Republic of Vietnam.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I beg to differ. She maybe Catholic and don’t practice traditional rituals but she didn’t disrespect it. There is no source saying so and no source saying Bao Dai was displeased of that. If you know of any, please share. There is no analysis as why the couple was separated and I would love to read more
Vietnam is a beautiful country . We have Vietnamese community here in Palawan, Philippines
Being an ordinary person with enough money to buy whatever you need, good health, & friends is a better life.
She was one very intelligent,classy,very elegant lady time did her well and she was a good mother,she was humbly dignified,fashionable in the vietnam way with french and western accents,she had integrity,confidence of being the woman she was,and died at young middle age of 50,a good life!!!!!!! She was blessed to be!!!!!!!!
She was a Nobel loyal faithful and beautiful,elegant and graceful empress May God Bless her heart...
She should learn more about her before saying that because she had her faults too.
Beautiful story, very intelligent and educated woman 👍👍👍
Some facts:
Lady Marie-Therèse Nguyen Huu Thi Lan (the future empress) was a daughter of the Duke of Long My, Nguyen Huu Hao. Her grandpa was the wealthiest man of the Southern Vietnam (Cochinchine)
The future empress met the emperor at Lang-Bian Palace Hotel (today Dalat Palace Heritage Hotel) in Dalat, Central Highlands, Vietnam. It’s a 5* classical hotel in Dalat these days
She was beautiful and elegant. What a sad story.
As a Vietnamese with a deep understanding of history, I would say Emperor Bao Dai - husband of Empress Nam Phuong is not as bad as most people think, he has his own adversities. As a king with good looks coupled with a pompous personality I wouldn't excuse his having many mistresses, but as the king of a weak state under domination, he had almost no power, but deep down he was still patriotic, a man who knew the times, so he made respectable efforts in regaining the entire territory of Vietnam in negotiations with the Japanese at that time. occupied after World War II and was ready to abdicate for the great cause of the country. Our country has its own circumstances, our last King and Empress also have their own choices and fates and I respect that very much.
Very sad that the husband did not show up at her funeral. May she rest in peace
At that time, he was no longer the King and got married to a French lady. His French wife probably didn't let him.
They were not really together anymore so showing up or not is not a big deal. Showing up at a funeral does not mean much anyways.
What a wise woman she grew up to be!
What a story! What a remarkable lady! Thank you very much for all your hard work in retelling this history!
What a cruel man he even didn't come in her funeral 😞😞😞
I feel bad for her😫😫
Arranged marriage
@@joseeduardotschen9186 wait... They fell in love affair that they got married... Right??
I have realized that coming to someone’s funeral or not is not the biggest deal. Just because you show up for anyone’s funeral does not mean you care more versus someone who did not show up. The most important thing is how you treated them when they were still around.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj And look at how he treated her
Agreed. Very cruel man
Well educated, well mannered, elegant and kind hearted lady!
What a sad story! Her "husband" was like China's puppet Emperor Pu Yi.
Pu Yi and Bai Daii never had power, either would have done a better job than the Communist Party in China and Vietnam: poverty, ignorance, and violent control.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini are you sure about "ignorance and poverty "? looking at how prosperous China and Vietnam are now , then comparing them to how the people lived under colonialism and those imperial houses? You are giving them too much credit, they had power to make a change for their citizens but they failed
@@sabrina1380m Compare China to Taiwan, or Vietnam and N. Korea to S. Korea and Japan. Look at colonized Hong Kong under the British and look at the violence, oppression now. Look at the CCP's destruction of China's culture and heritage, all the historic buildings destroyed, and the society they've created built on social credit, spy cameras, and oppression and violence, and poisoned air.
Even if in the end both doesn’t hold authority, Bao Dai seems to keep some of his legacy, wealth and was allowed to have some form of freedom and even offered a political job after his abdication.
His condition is way better than Pu Yi.
Interesting story... didn’t know much about Viet Nam’s history... cheers from Manila.
THIS SHOULD BE A MOVIE!
Nam Phuong queen. 🇻🇳🇻🇳🙂 yes i do know. Thanks for sharing new friend here 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳❤️❤️👍👍👍
She was one of the most wonderful ladies. I admired. She was very strong.
This would make a great historical movie 🎥
Nice. It'll interesting to see and learn how her kids and grandchildren fared.
This is very emotional story about the queen.
I had been Hanoi many times within this 30 years and I do love to dinningvat a classic vietnamese restaurant named after her " Nam Phoung". 💖👍👍
Really? I thought "Nam Phuong" means southern region. I would expect Southern dishes are served there?
You don’t understand bao dai if he ask like smart guy by that time France kill him right away
A sad ending to a happy and a beautiful woman who married this man thinking she will b happy forever.she loved him and had six children with him.even after so many children,he left her for other women.yet she never complained.he did not even see her after her death.what a ruthless man!so sad!
Lovely story - so much dignity
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of her.
Nguyen dynasty accomplished many great things for Vietnam, like expanding territory, opening internationally trades, advancing military technology, making Vietnam to be a powerful prosperous country for many generations. Hội An was built under the Nguyễn dynasty and became the economic power house Asia. Saigon was also built under the Nguyen Dynasty and still remain the most prosperous city in Vietnam to this day.
She is the true empress she's kind and never hated her husband even though he have cheating bastard...
lol that was funny
So woman should be okay with husband cheating?
During those period it wasnt considered cheating especially when they are aware of it
He was a king so of course he is allowed to have many wives. How is that cheating?
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj If you are Vietnamese, you should learn the history before saying that Nam Phuong queen has a very high and deep family background, and studying abroad in France, her perfect lifestyle and personality is a model many people want to be like her. admired that there were many people who secretly loved her but she did not accept.. later knew King Bao Dai.. many times wanted to love and marry Nam Phuong Queen, but she did not agree with the king's own mouth. there will be only one woman in the south, the queen does not add anyone else.... do you yourself know that the queen south is religious, but in religion there is only one husband and wife .... is Vietnamese this but not I know it's better to say it in front of the southern queen, then everything will be solved, she will be deceived, the person she loves will also be violated.
Thank You for Sharing stories from Asia
Big hello from Australia
So sad, she was beautiful
When Bao Dai was removed from power, he was living in exile with his concubine in France. He fell into depression and often "ran away" from home for days. That's why no one knew where he was to inform him when Nam Phuong passed away. This made him very sad and upset with the concubine.
Bao Dai died in poverty and loneliness; even his children didn't show up at his funeral. The fate of Vietnam's last royal family is, in a way, a real tragedy.
Thank you very much! I didn't know this story. 👍
With your light voice maybe you shouldn't background music playing. It competes and sometimes wins. Great content irregardless.
Shes amazing to me. Long suffering, elegant, graceful, smart
so beautiful
Kính trọng bà.cảm ơn video
Beautifully done, the narration is perfect.
Im actually curious how the Vietnamese Royal family ended...as an Asean myself it is nice to know another Asean royal family not just from Brunei, Thailand or in Cambodia...but to be honest these Asean royal is by far the promising one...and reaffirmed its status to the people
The last emperor Bao Dai was abdicated in 1945 and overthrown in 1955. He totally lost his future as a political figure after 1955. The peers either remained in Vietnam or sought for an asylum seeking status in western countries, but they didn’t face any discrimination. Many of the peerage noblemen still have respect and influence in Vietnam these days as keepers of the royalty and tradition, but they don’t hold any actual power
People with these surnames are descendants of the royal family
Nguyễn Phúc/Nguyễn Phước: main branch, royal branch
Tôn Thất: princes’ heirs, royal dukes’ heirs
Tôn Nữ/ Công Tàng Tôn Nữ/Công Tôn Nữ: aristocratic females
I never knew this story before...she is very beautiful and kind hearted. She want peace not war.
May triple gems bless her soul and you all too☺🙏🙏🙏
Such a role model.
No women should give herself a such a miserable life by staying silent
Thank you for sharing such a story! My knowledge of Vietnamese history is limited but your post rose my curiosity to know more about it! I follow you!
The dethroned emperor did not deserve such a woman and she could have lived a happier life if she was more cautious of a man with so much power (with an ego to match I presume.)
But God rewards those who suffer but still loves. Her children might have been the greatest joy in her life. (Safely assuming, I hope.)
What caused her husband to totally shun her was probably the fact that she was smart, logical and patient while his mistresses probably boosts his ego by viewing him as a forever emperor with diamonds spewing out of his mouth while talking. He totally deserved those women.
As a Vietnamese I cried for her before she died....
Actually Nam Phu'o'ng is pronounced similarly to, or rather translated as, 南风/封. When French occupied Vietnamese, the Chu' Nom traditional handwritten Chinese was completely eliminated and left with alphabetical transliteration which is now the standard & modern Vietnamese language. Chinese is very rare and still studied within Buddhist scriptures in some temples there. Vietnamese are Chinese migrants Southwards of China~
Nam Phương's characters are 南芳, 南風 or 南封 would be pronounced as "Nam Phong" in Vietnamese
There is a miniseries called Ngọn nến Hoàng Cung, it portrays Nam Phương, Bao Dai very well
Very classy
She's so stunning❤
Thanks for your video
🌻🌻
R.I.P.
EMPRESS
Well she lived a better life than the last Korean princess.
What a classy empress till the very end.
Such a sad tale.. :(
She did better than most other Vietnamese who either starved or died during the war. But she seemed like a nice lady.
never heard about her before, but now I'm a fan.
Sad ending
Great princess 👸👍🙏❤️
A very sad story.
Bảo Đại was one of the lousiest kings of Vietnam.
Emperor ; but he like his father was the worst of all the emperor ; all the better line of nguyen dynasty was remove by the french cause they all try to revolt and remove the french 😂 ; bao dai and his father was a good pet 🐶
He was more of a puppet to the french
But come to think of it. Nothing he could do anyway. Maybe he was smart enough to realize any attempt to rise against the French would only have resulted in disasters like those before him (Hàm Nghi, Thành Thái, Duy Tân) but at least he should (and could too) have done something for his people instead of immersing himself in a life of extravaganza and debauchery.
To be fair, he was the last king of a dynasty that is pretty much over so what can he do? He is very similar to Pu Yi the last emperor of China.
@@CaffeAddict not surprising, considering how powerful the French was back then.
Sad story of an honor lady...
Yes, she had a tragic life, but let's not just completely ignore all her faults.
1. She married into the imperial family knowing full well she had to adhere to native Vietnamese religion and belief, and she agreed, despite being Christian. But then she refused to pay respects to imperial tombs because it was un-Christian, allowing the emperor's mistress to do it for her, which was disrespectful.
2. She also spoke to her children in French right in front of the Empress Mother, her mother-in-law, knowing full well Empress Mother could not understand French. This was also disrespectful, and she knew that as an empress, but she did it anyway.
3. She also promised before marriage to have her children, the princes, princesses, and the Crown Prince, be educated in Vietnamese education to become a proper future ruler. This meant educating them in Confucianism and Buddhism. But instead, she secretly baptized and converted the Crown Prince into Christianity.
She was, if anything, a pawn by the French to Christianize Vietnam and its imperial family.
A woman has the right to believe anything she wants, and teach her children as she feels fit.
@@Zhonguoria this has nothing to do with her gender. She made a promise, and she broke it. This was about colonialism, Christianization, disrespect of the imperial ancestors, and disrespect to her mother-in-law. Or is her mother-in-law not a woman?
@@conho4898 I agree and everyone is criticizing her husband like he is the bad one only. She was not an angel either. The fact that she was Catholic made the people dislike her too.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Her being Catholic isn't the problem, it's the way she weaponized her Catholicism to aid in conversion, Christianization, and colonization of her own country, playing right at the hands of the French.
@@conho4898 I see what you mean, but it stemmed from her being Catholic. I used to have a friend like her too. She used Catholicism to blackmail her husband if he wanted to marry her. Then she converted all her kids to Catholicism too. I see the same pattern with Empress Nam Phuong too. That was why many did not like her.
Kien Trung Palace is in the Forbidden City
and what happened to her children?
This lady's accent is attractive
It always amazes me how these people kept themselves rich after all that happened in their country and people.
Taking advantage of less privilege folks is very profitable.
Her family was one of the richest in South Vietnam back then; they were merchants; I assume the money is as good as the money upper class people made these days. So there’s no hate for people who spend their parents’ money
He family is the richest family in Vietnam for a long time
Her father was one of the richest merchants in vietnam at that time. Some people hypothesized that Bao Dai married Nam Phuong just for her family’s money. Yes, as a daughter of richest man in vietnam and having good relationships with french authority, the empress easily bought a palace in france and lived luxuriously
This story sound familiar 🙄🙄. Nam Phoung as Lady D and Bao Dai as Prince Charles 🤔🤔🤔
How sad!
Had she lebt him for good, her whole home country, which she highly was endeared too, would have despised her.
She followed the highest unspoken Asian rule to
'Save Face'
Nam Phuong was the most devoted, most beautiful, loving, kind hearted Vietnam Empress. She gave her faithfulness, her heart and love to the wrong man. Bao Dai had a change of heart, spent most of his time chasing after his mistresses, one after another. Bao Dai couldn't live without women, many women certainly. Bao Dai did nothing great for Vietnam, he enjoyed the royal lifestyle of a King with lots of WOMEN. He was not a good King/Husband/Father. Nam Phuong died from broken hearted, from her loneliness in her very last moment of life. Nam Phuong will forever be remembered and stay in the hearts of the Vietnamese people. Haven't seen a single vietnamese that says anything negative about her. She was the ONE and Only.
Bao Dai was in another relationship with the French lady. I believe.
This is not sad story bros. This is darkest era of Vietnam history. In this era 2-3 milions Vietnamese deads by France, Japan and their both pupet - her hus. Please dont dramatic this.
nam phương..hay vua bảo đại..hiện tại người vn không biết về hai người này nhiều...có thể người vn bây giờ khống muốn biết..về triều đại này
Sao lại k biết được bản
She deserves better
Nam Phuong... that's what a lady is!
I need a historical drama/ period movie about her plz.
The empress of Vietnam knew the empress dowaga of Qing dynasty China/Manchuria??
No, they mean her mother-in-law.
No, the Empress dowaga Từ Cung, Bao Dai’s mother. Not empress dowaga Cixi of Qing dynasty
3:19 it's call Hue Forbidden city.It is the discrimination with the Forbidden city in China
He married well
A well educated noble woman, married to a spoiled royal brat. She must be very lonely. Too young to die.
Sad.
I'd like to know if her homes in France are open to the public
I love your content im very interested in chinese history .I would love if you make more vidseos about chinese history.Thank you😊😊
It’s not chinese, it’s Vietnamese.
Didn't know there such a story ²⁸⁰¹²²
He was just a normal man.
She was truly a Lady.
"a normal man" was an emperor 👁️👄👁️
How sad
It was a vietnamese general that help design the forbidden palace. Mongols conquered song dynasty but failed twice trying to conquer vietnam
Hindi subtitles
beautiful lady
The good tittle for this is the empress and emperor who left their nation in chaos and partition.
Not really. By that point they’re no longer in any position of respectable power, other than with a family name and inherited wealth.
That’s like saying Harry and Megan leaving the UK as being the same of them “abandoning” their people.
They were born into french rule. The previous emperors did try to revolt but were sent in exile to algeria or africa. Wtf were they supposed to do?
@@LucielStarz123 they didn’t have any “royal wealth”. Her side of the family was wealthy. His family was not. The French had already stolen most of Vietnam’s wealth before he even became king. All he had was a stipend.
