Meeting the Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City audience in the program Like a farewell , singer Khanh Ly emotionally said: "People shed tears when they are very sad or when too much happiness comes to them. I think that, beside me, there are lives of people who are more miserable and need us more. So, personally, I think my happiness and sadness today are not worth anything when you are here, my audience, compensates a lot...".

And according to singer Quang Thanh - who accompanied Khanh Ly, "on this return to our homeland, we and the family of Vong Tay Nhan Ai would like to contribute a little of our strength and love to share with the unfortunate lives, orphaned by the Covid pandemic through the program "Continuing Life with Children" that Thanh Nien Newspaper is implementing".
"In just 2 years I will be old, 80. I didn't think I could still stand on stage singing until today... |

After the program Dau Chan Dia Dang opened the tour to celebrate Khanh Ly's 60th anniversary of singing, the concert in Ho Chi Minh City on July 1 also "sold out" very early. It can be seen that every time she returns, the audience and fans always welcome her as she once expressed and said: "If you love me, love me now. Don't wait for tomorrow...", always giving her "a beautiful heart", like the song she always used to close each of her shows: "Living in life, you need a heart. For what, do you know? Let the wind take it away, let the wind take it away...".
Khanh Ly calls Quang Thanh her son, sees him as her own son because "there are things I cannot do without the help of my children, and one of those children is Quang Thanh" |

Sharing with the audience, Khanh Ly said: "To prepare for this trip, I accidentally opened my wardrobe and saw this ao dai. I've had it for 20 years but never worn it. And this is the ao dai my husband had made for me. When I saw the ao dai, I remembered what Trinh Cong Son said: "Even if the old ao dai is wrinkled, we will still call each other's names when our hair turns white...".
In her emotional greeting to the Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City audience, she confided that she did not know whether she was happy or sad to return to this city. "For more than 2 years, we have been far away from you, far away from the audience of our homeland, half a world away. I have gone through days of nervousness and anxiety because I did not know when I could return here. And when I return here, who else will I meet... On this stage, we are missing 2 people today, which I never thought could happen. But when disaster strikes, we cannot avoid it. It is truly sad...".

So when rehearsing the program on this stage, just rehearsing, as she said, "I wanted to cry, because I thought of those who left us and I thought of my own fate... In just 2 years, I will be old, 80. Hearing 80 years old makes me feel cold all over, I didn't think I could still stand on stage singing until today. Just like when I saw the ao dai in the closet, I remember this is a memory...".
And, the audience who come to Khanh Ly, to her voice and Trinh Cong Son's music today, perhaps also because they all have the same memories, a time that they have gone through together. So, surely everyone gently forgets the traces of time that have been imprinted on their singing.
"Everyone loves me, you guys, the audience here loves me, the audience on the other side of the world also embraces me. Over the past 40, 50, 60 years, everyone has shared with me every drop of sweat, every drop of tears; shared with me the money you earned. I want to share this love today, in this place, with everyone. Because this is where I grew up, the cradle for me in my first days of career. I will never forget Le Thanh Ton street (also where Idecaf theater is located), where I met again Mr. Trinh Cong Son - the person who gave me a life of food and clothing, a life of gratitude, the person who made me famous before I became an adult."
Performing with Khanh Ly are the artists accompanying the program Vong Tay Nhan Ai: Hong Van, Paolo Tuan, Quang Thanh, Hoang Duc Huy and especially on this occasion there is also overseas singer Phuong Hong Ngoc - a famous voice on Saigon radio, at the same time as Phuong Hong Que... |

During the music night, Khanh Ly also "clarified to you all why the theme is Like a farewell . It's because I want to say goodbye to you all once, so that if I don't have that opportunity anymore, then when I leave I won't owe you a goodbye. Please allow me to say goodbye to you all, so that one day when I leave I will be at peace, like a farewell...".
