Sharing about the meaning of Vu Lan month, Tung Duong said that this is a time that makes him have many emotions when thinking about his parents. The male singer believes that there are things that children find difficult to put into words, but can be conveyed through music and simple actions in family life.
Vu Lan Month is a month of filial piety, I think I am also very touched when things I cannot say to my parents can be expressed through music," Tung Duong shared.
According to the male singer, the most important thing for everyone is to fulfill filial piety. However, filial piety should not only be expressed in words.
To fulfill filial piety here is not to say it in words but in actions, what we can do for our parents. We need to care for, be responsible and do what is practical for our parents," he expressed.
Singer Tung Duong shared that everyone has many ways to show filial piety, but the important thing is that care must come from specific things such as visiting, encouraging, taking care of health and spending time with parents.
The male singer currently does not live with his parents. When they grow up, each person usually has a family and private space, but that makes spending time with parents even more important.
Our parents' time fund is not much left, so let's try to care and show more love for our parents before everything passes so quickly. Time does not wait for anyone," Tung Duong said.
In Vu Lan art programs, Tung Duong also chooses songs that tell stories about motherhood, fatherhood and the sacrifice of mothers.
The male singer said that the song "Pain in Peace" that he performed in the Vu Lan program tells about Vietnamese Heroic Mothers - people who have suffered many losses and sacrifices for their homeland and country.
I sing these songs just to honor motherhood, fatherhood and express love in a very ordinary way," Tung Duong shared.
For him, the story of Vietnamese Heroic Mothers not only evokes the sacrifice in the war but also raises questions about how today's generation cherishes what they have.
Besides reflecting on filial piety, the experience of being a father also helps Tung Duong have a deeper perspective on family affection.
The male singer believes that only when becoming parents can each person partly understand the position of their parents in their lives.
When we are parents, we understand the sacrifices, the feelings of parents and only hope for our children to be successful and successful," he said.
From his own experience, Tung Duong also shared about how he built relationships with his children in the family. The male singer said that he always gives love to his children equally, regardless of whether they are riêng children of his wife, common children or adopted children.
In the family, I have the same love for my children, from my wife's stepchildren to common children, my own children, to adopted children, I love them all like that," Tung Duong expressed.
A sufficiently broad love can help people overcome many differences and challenges in life.
Through the "Gratitude for Birth" program, Tung Duong wants to send a message that love for parents does not necessarily have to start from great things. A phone call to inquire, a visit home, care for health or simply spending more time with parents can also become a meaningful way to show filial piety.
Because sometimes, what we regret most is not not saying enough words of love, but not being able to do simple things for parents when we can.
The Vu Lan filial art program "Gratitude for Birth 2026" will take place at 8:10 PM on August 27, 2026 (ie, the full moon of the seventh lunar month), at the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Labor Culture Palace, Hanoi.
