Kim Ngọc

Kim Ngọc (1917-1979), born Kim Văn Nguộc, was a Vietnamese politician who served as the Communist party secretary of Vinh Phuc province from 1959 to 1977. He implemented household contracting throughout the province. Although it was successful, Ngoc was criticized by Le Duan for breaking the law. The policy implementation was stopped, and Ngoc had to criticize himself for his "wrong political route".

Ngoc was not rehabilitated until 1995. He was decorated Order of Independence (1995) and the Order of Ho Chi Minh (2009) posthumously.

Bí thư Tỉnh ủy, a Vietnamese television drama, was based on this story.
