Hai Thuong Lan Ong Le Huu Trac, also known as Le Huu Huan, was born on December 27, 1724 in Lieu Xa commune, Yen My district (Hung Yen). His father was Doctor Le Huu Muu, who served as a mandarin with the position of Right Deputy Minister of Public Works; after his death, he was granted the title of Minister. His mother was Mrs. Bui Thi Thuong, from Quang Diem commune - Huong Son district (Ha Tinh).
As a child, Le Huu Trac was famous for his intelligence. He studied history and then joined the army with the ambition of using his talent to serve the royal court. However, due to the chaos of feudal society during the Le - Trinh period, he decided to leave Thang Long citadel to return to his mother's hometown in Huong Son.
With his love for humanity and profound wisdom, he spent more than 40 years in his motherland to research, study, summarize experiences, and improve the theories of medical ethics, medical theory, medical techniques and Vietnamese pharmacy, bringing Vietnamese medicine on par with world medicine.
Along with writing books, treating illnesses, and saving people, he opened a training school and established a medical association to connect physicians. Hai Thuong Lan Ong's compassion, talent, and timeless thoughts spread to the capital city of Thang Long.
In the year of Nham Dan 1782, Lord Trinh summoned him to the palace to treat the royal family. During his stay in the capital, he completed the work "Thuong Kinh Ky Su". The work clearly portrayed the portrait of a noble personality, indifferent to fame and fortune, all for the sake of human life of the great physician.
Hai Thuong Lan Ong Le Huu Trac passed away on the 15th day of the first lunar month of the year Tan Hoi 1791, at the age of 67. His life and career are a shining example of medical ethics, intelligence and dedication, leaving behind lasting values, contributing to the glory of traditional medicine and spreading the cultural values and Vietnamese people to friends around the world.
