A fact from Nguyễn Đình Chiểu appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 February 2008, and was viewed approximately 437 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
One of his works caused a controversy in Vietnam recently. In a college entrance exam, an honors student answered a prompt regarding his poem "Văn tế nghĩa sĩ Cần Giuộc" (Elegy for the Can Giuoc Martyrs), saying that it was obtuse and boring and irrelevant to her. She failed the test but generated a firestorm of discussions on how to make historical writing relevant to modern students. DHN (talk) 20:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
