Fatherland Sky" started from the idea that each person can be born in different rural areas, carrying their own memories, culture and identity but sharing the same sky. The message "Every homeland sky is the Fatherland sky" was chosen by Duong Quoc Hung as the thread throughout the work.
In the MV, the male singer does not build the image of an performer but transforms into a simple Vietnamese child on a journey to explore his homeland. The red backpack with a small national flag becomes a detail throughout the journey through Hanoi, Ha Giang, Ho Chi Minh City, Con Dao and Ca Mau.
The red backpack with a small flag accompanied me from North to South. That is a very small detail but it is an image I especially love in the MV," singer Duong Quoc Hung shared.
The landmarks appearing in the MV are not simply built as a tourist journey but connected by the emotional flow of music. From the mountains and forests of Ha Giang, the rhythm of life in Ho Chi Minh City to the sea and islands of Con Dao and the southernmost land, each place contributes a color to the overall picture of the homeland.
In Ha Giang, Duong Quoc Hung appeared in costumes inspired by brocade, immersed himself in ethnic minority children and sang folk songs. According to the male singer, he wants to learn about local culture through people instead of just recording beautiful scenes.
A noteworthy point of the MV is the combination of three voices of different generations. People's Artist Thanh Hoa represents the previous generation of artists, Duong Quoc Hung is the one connecting the story in the present, while Nhim V brings a pure, innocent tone.
Three generations singing together is also the way I want to say that love for the homeland is always preserved and continued," the male singer said.
In the final part, the journey from Ca Mau, Con Dao, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi to Lung Cu Flagpole. The image of Duong Quoc Hung in a white ao dai in the northern mountains and the national flag creates the ending point for the story.
According to Duong Quoc Hung, the trips helped him realize that the beauty of Vietnam is not only in the scenery but also in the people he meets on the journey. Therefore, the MV aims at the story of the connection between people, culture and homeland.
