Sample answer:
Ton That Tung was born in 1912 in Thanh Hoa province in Vietnam, and passed away at the
age of 70 in Hanoi. He was a famous surgeon who had impressive achievements in the
medicine of Vietnam. In 1931, he moved to Hanoi and studied at Buoi school, which is Chu
Van An high school today. From 1935 to 1939, when he attended the Indochina School of
Medicine and Pharmacy, he performed operations on over 200 livers of dead bodies and
analysed them. Later, he started working as a private doctor for Uncle Ho in August, 1945.
Until 1958, he carried out the first heart surgery in Vietnam. In the late 1960s, he found a
new surgery method to reduce bleeding and shorten the time for the operation down to only
four to eight minutes. His impressive achievements were admired by many doctors and other
people in Vietnam. The Government also introduced an award named after him, and many
streets in various local areas are now named after him.
