Xuan Hieu (R), 78, a Dien Bien Phu veteran, arrives at the venue of an official photo exhibition on the life of Vietnam's legendary general, Vo Nguyen Giap, in Hanoi on August 25, 2011. General Giap, a hero of the Vietnamese revolution and considered one of history's greatest military stragegists, quietly marked his 100th birthday on August 25 in a Hanoi military hospital. Giap shocked the world with his peasant army's victory over French colonial forces at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, a success critical in Vietnam's emergence as an independent nation, which ended French rule in Indochina.
