Hi all, a new Wikivietlit entry on the poet and translator La Truong

Son, who was born to Chinese parents in Hue and emigrated (defected?) to

China in 1955, alerted me to the publishing house Nam Ninh that

published his translations into Chinese in 1990 and 2003.

What is this publishing house? I don't recall it from my 1994 directory

of Vietnamese publishing houses. Is it one of the abundance of houses

before 1980s reforms, revived for one book in 2003?

The VN Wikipedia, Wikiviet, tells me that Nam Ninh is the VN name of the

closest city in China to VN. Is the house in China or VN?
