A very interesting manuscript of Dr. Ho Chi Minh

This manuscript mixes Chinese characters and Latin letters, giving it a Japanese feel.

Even more interestingly, Dr. Ho Chi Minh almost entirely used china's simplified characters. (While simplified characters have existed since ancient times, many of China's SC were created by the Chinese Communist Party, which is why they can be identified.)

The biggest drawback of this style of text compared to Japanese is that the Latin letters are not square, which causes difficulties in typesetting and a fragmented aesthetic.
