Inspired by Chau's writings, nationalist intellectuals in Hanoi opened the Free School of Tonkin in 1907, which soon became a centre ofanti-French agitation and consequently was suppressed after a few months.
Students were taught science, hygiene and French, and were encouraged to adopt Western styles of dressing. This school was a typical example of colonial ideas in Vietnam. It rejected traditional Vietnamese education and lifestyle while promoting Western ideals of living. Like typical colonists, the French tried to control the Vietnamese identity, culture and customs, besides controlling their territory.
