People's Artist Thanh Hoa had a youth when traveling along Truong Son, bringing singing to cheer on the fighting spirit of the army forces in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign.
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporter, People's Artist Thanh Hoa shared that during those years, our army and people turned to the South to fight for themselves, ready to sacrifice everything for independence and unity, because in everyone's heart there is an image of Uncle Ho. As a song has been written, for the Vietnamese people, Uncle Ho is the overwhelming belief.
Time passes, but every time I sing about Uncle Ho, emotions still rise in me. I remember the years 1969-1910, when my new Uncle passed away, the whole country mourned and missed him. At that time until the next decade, our artists often cried so much when singing songs about Uncle Ho that they could not sing. In 1979, musician Thuan Yen composed the song "Uncle Ho, a long love", when I sang the first lines of this song, I was strongly moved, it took a long time to record it", People's Artist Thanh Hoa shared.
People's Artist Trung Duc, who was a driver at the Quang Tri Ancient Citadel Front in 1972, also confided that the generation of soldiers like him - always turn to Uncle Ho with greater affection than love, that is faith, the motivation to fight.
Love Uncle Ho with a cleaner heart, You are the confident and victorious - are the feelings of many soldiers when they go into battle.
People's Artist Trung Duc said, what he heard, read, watched the documentary about Uncle Ho, made him always touched when singing songs about people. Throughout his career, People's Artist Trung Duc sang many songs about Uncle Ho, but he especially loved the two songs, "Ho Chi Minh is the most beautiful name" and "He is the belief of victory".
People's Artist Thu Hien, when she was only 16 years old, stood on the banks of the Ben Hai River singing over Hien Luong Bridge about the great national defense battle. Throughout her career, People's Artist Thu Hien has always been loved by the audience with many songs about Uncle Ho and Truong Son, but for her, the song "Loi Bac Duoc Duoc Duoc Duoc Duoc Duoc" is a mark in her life.
When Uncle Ho passed away in 1969, People's Artist Thu Hien wrote a poem expressing her inner losses. In 1989, when musician Tran Hoan composed The words I told you before you went far, Peoples Artist Thu Hien and Peoples Artist Thanh Hoa said that they knew each song, sang each sentence with all their respect in their hearts.
"As time passed, I missed Uncle Ho even more, unable to bear to cling. April 30 is the day of victory and national reunification. The country is peaceful and changing, my emotions when singing about Uncle Ho are still not extinguished, People's Artist Thu Hien shared.
