Just listen to Tien Quan Ca. whenever I hear it, I want to stand up and sing out as loud as possible. It’s hard and solemn. And I always feel great, feel proud of my country when I hear it. LH: That’s true. It’s very rousing. Do you know when he wrote it? QH: In 1944. LH: Do you like any other songs by Van Cao? QH: Oh, yes, lots of them. Especially the songs about rural life in Vietnam.
