In the story of Luc Van Tien, Nguyen Dinh Chieu depicted a society in which leading central characters are Luc Van Tien and Kieu Nguyet Nga who are symbolic of talent, intelligence, human dignity. There are people of high endowment, profound knowledge. Although each person is different in facial features, they still have the same points. That is “upright”, “brave”, “unselfish” and “a sense of honour”. They are willing to help others regardless of difficulties and dangers, raising high will to do good “giữa đường gặp sự bất bình chẳng tha”. They always approve reason in each thought and action. These beautiful dignities are representative of Vietnamese people in general and Southern people in particular. They have been formed and fostered in the process of exploiting and expanding the south country so it is clearly shown in the characteristics of Southern people not only in the common people but also in the history books
