When he intended to write a book about General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, writer Cho Chulhyeon thought it would be easy to gather information from many people.

The work consists of the following parts: Schooling period, Maturity period, Criticism period, People's period, Adaptation period and the epilogue sketching the picture of a Cultural Powerhouse.
Writing the foreword for the book, President Luong Cuong, in his capacity as Politburo member and Standing member of the Secretariat, emphasized: “Author and writer Cho Chulhyeon expressed his appreciation and admiration for the intelligence, talent, personality, morality, and dedication of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong to the country and people of Vietnam. He introduced to readers true and touching stories about the life, background, and career of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong, so that simple events and stories can speak for themselves and shine without the need for beautiful words.”
