Vietnamese literature is the literature, both oral and written, created largely by the Vietnamese. Early Vietnamese literature has been greatly influenced by Chinese literature. As Literary Chinese was the formal written language for government documents, a majority of literary works were composed in Hán văn or as văn ngôn. From the 10th century, a minority of literary works were composed in chữ Nôm, the former writing system for the Vietnamese language. The Nôm script better represented Vietnamese literature as it led to the creation of different poetic forms like Lục bát and Song thất lục bát. It also allowed for Vietnamese reduplication to be used in Vietnamese poetry.

Ngô Đình Khả was a high-ranking Catholic mandarin in the Court of the Emperor Thành Thái of Nguyễn dynasty in Huế, Vietnam. He helped establishing the Quoc Hoc in Hue and was also a confidant to the emperor. He strongly opposed the French dominance of the Hue Court and when the French grew tired of Emperor Thành Thái's attempts to rein in their growing influence, Kha was the only member of the Council of Ministers to refuse to sign a petition requesting the emperor's abdication. This led to him gaining widespread renown for his loyalty. However, it also led to his removal from the court and his subsequent banishment to his home village. Kha is best known for being the patriarch of the Ngô Dinh family, which was the most prominent Vietnamese Catholic family. His son Ngô Đình Diệm was the first president of South Vietnam and his son Ngô Đình Thục was the third Vietnamese Catholic Bishop. Kha has sometimes been seen as a collaborator with the French.

He came from the Martial Arts School established by the Army of Vietnam Nationalist Party in the Northwestern region of North Vietnam, training Vietnamese people in parties to serve the resistance forces. Some later joined the French Union Army. During his time in the army, he was always assigned to take on positions related to consulting, so the consulting field can be considered as his specialty. He was also one of the few officers promoted to the rank of general during the First Republic period. This proves that he himself was favored by President Ngô Đình Diệm. However in the 1963 coup, he was a member of the leading group of generals.
