Singer Mai Chi renews "Carrying Your Child to Daycare" with her first MV

(Dan Tri) - Runner-up of the 2019 National Chamber Singing Competition Mai Chi has just officially released her debut MV "Carrying a child to daycare", a famous composition by musician Dao Ngoc Dung.

Mai Chi shared that the inspiration for the MV came from the strong emotions she felt on her journey to Truong Sa last April.

"I decided to make the MV "Carrying a Child to the Nursery" from my business trip to Truong Sa last April. I remember, on the evening of April 10, 2023, I went up to the cabin of the fishing control ship KN 290 of the working delegation of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army to watch the night sea, then the soldiers asked me to sing a song for them. I thought, they were all soldiers who had been away from home for a long time, they would definitely miss their home, their wives and children a lot, so I sang them the song " Carrying a Child to the Nursery ".

The soldiers were very moved when they sang. That scene made me feel very special, so at that moment, I had the intention of starting to make a MV after returning to the mainland as a gift for the border soldiers who are also my comrades," the singer said.

Mai Chi is a singer of the Border Guard Art Troupe, currently holding the rank of Second Lieutenant. Wearing the green uniform of a soldier, she often performs for soldiers from islands to remote border areas, so she understands the feelings of soldiers far from home.

In her debut MV, Mai Chi wrote a beautiful story about the warm family of a border soldier in the Northwest highlands to dedicate to her comrades.

The border guard has a small, lovely home, with a gentle wife and young children, but because of his duty to maintain peace at the border and for the Fatherland, he is always away from home. In the village, his wife works hard every day to carry her child to kindergarten, raise him to be a good person, and nurtures the dream of following in his father's footsteps and becoming a border guard in the future to protect her son's rich and beautiful homeland.

Every image in the MV and the lyrics of the song clearly depict this dream. On every journey carrying her child to kindergarten, on the journey of raising her child to adulthood, the mother always shows her beloved son the brilliant beauty of her homeland and country with immense pride:

"It's yours, my child, the whole rice field, the whole hill/ The whole four and five corners of the world, tomorrow, and life/It's yours, my child, the whole high sky with its white clouds/ The whole mountains, the whole forest, and the streams singing with joy".
