For Elise Sun Tzu"Bushes" military school Operation Dien Bien PhuIllustration: A-shi
During his youth, Vo Nguyen Giap has already had some experience being a history teacher. While he was called "The Red Napoleon" due to his cunning strategic command, all of his military knowledge were either self-taught or came from live combat experience. "The military academy of the bush", as how he said it. On the other hand, he is also a man of culture, with interest in music and reading. He started learning the piano during the Vietnam war, and has gotten to the point where he can play "Für Elise" (For Elise).
And thus, in this illustration, I drew a female teacher-like Vo Nguyen Giap standing on the classroom platform, with a bicorne in hand for the Napoleon image. On the upper left of the blackboard is the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, below that is the image of her when she was studying military history in the bushes.
