Singer Tuan Duong impressed with the song composed by musician Nguyen Vinh Tien as a gift for Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper.

The song "Today's Countryside" was composed by musician Nguyen Vinh Tien in April 2024 as a gift to the Today's Countryside newspaper on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the first issue. Being a musician of the countryside, the male musician did not encounter too many difficulties when composing a song about the theme of the countryside - farmers in the new era. It is worth mentioning that the song not only talks about the rice fields with flying storks, the mother's lullaby, the rustling green bamboo hedges... images very familiar to the countryside, but also talks about the Today's Countryside newspaper bringing "good news rushing back, like green ditch water into the fields"... standing side by side with communes, villages, and hamlets to help Vietnamese people build a new life, a new countryside.

The rich and valuable lyrics written by musician Nguyen Vinh Tien in the song are: "Today's countryside is bustling, the newspaper in hand, every day good news flows in, like green ditch water into the fields. Simple, loving, loyal, bright in the heart, the "new farmer". Since the renovation, oh a, green rice fields, rice receives the light of civilization, people receive words sown like love, words sown like love, oh words!". The melody of the song is also rustic, cheerful and gentle like the lullaby of grandmothers and mothers. This makes the song close and familiar to those who come from the countryside.

This song was performed by singer Tuan Duong in the program celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first issue of the newspaper Nong Thon Ngay Nay, with the choir of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of the newspaper. The performance made a strong impression on the guests and delegates attending the event.

Singer Tuan Duong confided that he was very happy to collaborate with musician Nguyen Vinh Tien to perform the latest work on the theme of today's countryside.

Singer Tuan Duong and singer Viet Tu performed together at the event of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper.

"We were very careful in coming up with the beat idea as well as recording it to make it different but still fully convey the emotions of the song. Tuan Duong personally loves this song because both the melody and the lyrics are both strange and familiar, the realistic image from Nguyen Vinh Tien's perspective on today's countryside but the same feeling for many people.

"The countryside today is still rice fields with flying storks, still the same mother's lullaby from the past, with rustling green bamboo hedges..." with simple, familiar lyrics and melodies on a unique, modern, impressive musical background... creating a picture of today's countryside full of vitality and color in the new era.

Tuan Duong believes that the song will quickly reach the hearts of the staff of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper in particular, the members of the Vietnam Farmers' Association in general and the masses to spread the beautiful spirit conveyed through the song," said singer Tuan Duong.

At the Gala celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first issue of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper on the evening of May 16, singer Tuan Duong also performed the song "Chiec Khan Pieu" - a very famous composition by musician Doan Nho and the song "Gio va tinh yeu bong tren dat nuoc toi" by musician Nguyen Vinh Tien.

The song "Wind and Love Blow on My Country" was composed by musician Nguyen Vinh Tien in 2023, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of birth and 35th anniversary of death of poet and playwright Luu Quang Vu. This song was performed by diva My Linh in the music night "Wind and Love Blow on My Country" organized by Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper in collaboration with poet Luu Quang Vu's family on August 16, 2023 at the Hanoi Opera House.

Singer Tuan Duong confided that he really likes the poem "Wind and love blows on my country" by poet Luu Quang Vu. This poem shows a very romantic poetic soul but also full of responsibility for the homeland and country. And when he had access to the music of musician Nguyen Vinh Tien, he was even more "in love" because the arrangement of the song was very new, full of youthfulness, vitality but no less passionate. He immediately asked to record this song to satisfy his love.

Last night (May 16), at the Gala event, the choir of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper also sang the song "Nong Thon Ngay Nay". The singers are all at the age of union members, born and raised in the countryside, witnessing the changes of the new countryside... so they were very emotional when performing this song. The performance of the choir of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper brought many emotions to the listeners. Many guests even asked the choir to perform this song again.
