Introduction: For 88 years, Prof. Hoàng Tiến Bảo knew an extremely rich and varied existence. We would need a full-length book to render justice to such a life. This is only a short essay intermingled with personal recollections to commemorate the 101st anniversary of our professor. With all due caution, the author wishes that this writing - though by all means not exhaustive – would still remain accurate. My sincere thanks and appreciation go to Professors Trần Ngọc Ninh and Đào Hữu Anh, my schoolmates at the Saigon School of Medecine for providing me with the private materials, photos and recollections from personal conversations to help bring about this writing.
