Journalist Searches for her Mother

Newsday

Available for over a year

North Vietnam's first female war journalist Duong Thi Xuan Quy was killed at the age of 28 while covering a guerrilla operation in central Vietnam in 1969. Four decades after the Vietnam War ended, her family is still trying to find out what happened to her, reflecting a common yearning in a country that is still coming to terms with the conflict. Her daughter Huong Ly is now a journalist with the Âé¶¹Éç, and talks about her search for her mother. (Photo: Huong Ly with her mother, war correspondent Duong Thi Xuan Quy)
