Hoàng Thị Loan was his wife, the daughter of his adoptive father and teacher. Sắc passed the Confucian cử nhân examination in 1894 and in 1901 gained a second-rank (pho bang) position.[3] He was a magistrate in the Binh Khe district (Qui Nhơn), until he was demoted for abuse of power after a landlord whom he had ordered to be beaten died shortly after receiving a caning.[4] Ho Chi Minh's parents' house is now preserved as the Kim Liên museum.
