Phan Boi Chau

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.03 sec.

Phan Boi Chau

 or Phan Giai San orig. Phan Van San

(born 1867, Nghe An province, Viet.—died Sept. 29, 1940, Hue) Vietnamese resistance figure. Son of a poor scholar, he received a doctorate in 1900, by which time he was already a firm nationalist. Opposed to French rule in Vietnam, he organized efforts to place the nationalist Prince Cuong De (1882–1951) on the throne. In 1905 he moved his resistance movement to Japan, where he met Sun Yat-sen and Phan Chau Trinh. His monarchist scheme failed, as did a plan to assassinate the governor-general of French Indochina, and Chau was imprisoned in 1914–17. Hundreds of Vietnamese protested when he was arrested again in 1925; subsequently released, he spent his remaining years in quiet retirement.
