Three Vietnamese people have been named in the list of 30 top record
holders in Asia in 2013, according to the Vietnam Record
Organisation .
The ranking, which was announced by
the Asia Record Organisation on May 18, includes Meritorious
Artist-Director Nguyen Van Luong, painter Truong Han Minh and painter
Dang Ai Viet.
Director Nguyen Van Luong sets an
Asia ’s record of making the most films on the country and people in the
sea and island regions. Since 1998, Luong has made 221 movies on this
theme, including feature films, documentaries and video reports. His
record was recognised in Vietnam last year.
Painter Truong Han Minh was recognised for having the most ink wash
paintings auctioned for charity. From 1977 to 2013, an estimated 200 of
his paintings were sold through auction and all the proceeds went to
charity. Previously, in 2010, Minh set a Vietnam’s record with his
longest ink wash painting on flower, themed “Prosperity, Honour,
Longevity and Youth”, which later came under hammer for nearly 2
billion VND (about 100,000 USD) to aid poor and disable children
nationwide.
Meanwhile, painter Dang Ai Viet, who
held two Vietnam ’s records with the most portraits of Vietnamese
Heroic Mothers and the first woman riding a Chaly motorbike through all
63 cities and provinces in the country to draw sketches of Vietnamese
Heroic Mothers, sets an Asian record for the most portraits of
Vietnamese Heroic Mothers
The certificates are
scheduled to be presented to the record holders in late May when the
General Director of the Asian Record Organisation make a working
visit to the three Indochina countries.-VNA
