Wind and love blow on my country , a poem by author Luu Quang Vu, was set to music by musician Nguyen Vinh Tien and singer My Linh will sing it for the first time in a poetry and musical night program of the same name to celebrate the 75th birthday of author Luu Quang Vu and the 35th death anniversary of the most talented couple in the Vietnamese literary and artistic scene, Luu Quang Vu - Xuan Quynh, held on August 16 at the Hanoi Opera House.

The poem Wind and Love Blows Over My Country has the following passage: "I wish I could become the wind/To embrace this country/To warm the icy mountain passes/To cool the sun-baked roofs/To always return to life/Wind and love blows over my country".
Love and Fatherland are the two greatest inspirations in the poetry of Luu Quang Vu (1948 - 1988), author of hundreds of poems, short stories and more than 50 stage scripts.
Making a splash with two musical works that are "memorable" to Vietnamese audiences, My Grandmother and Flying Dew Drops (both released in 2005), Nguyen Vinh Tien has become a prominent name in the Vietnamese music industry, especially in the genre of music he pursues - contemporary folk.
Possessing a simple yet profound musical taste, Nguyen Vinh Tien's music convinces even the most demanding audiences.
Musician Nguyen Vinh Tien shared that he accepted the invitation to compose music for 1-2 poems by Luu Quang Vu from journalist Luu Quang Dinh (younger brother of poet Luu Quang Vu) and when he received the massive collection of poems by Luu Quang Vu. For the musician, this was a huge gift.
"When re-reading this entire collection of poems, I also re-perceive a portrait, that is the portrait of Luu Quang Vu's poetry. I realize that there are many good poems, interesting things that I had not perceived before or perceived incompletely.
Another thing is that poems by great poets such as Luu Quang Vu, Xuan Quynh and other poets in Vietnam are rarely set to music. I find these nights of poetry combined with music very meaningful."
"Music is like a solvent to make poetry better and more widely circulated, more accessible to audiences," musician Nguyen Vinh Tien shared, adding that when he finished composing music for Wind and Love Blowing in My Country , he felt very happy because he was able to keep almost the same lyrics as the poem of the same name.
"For a musician, there is nothing happier than finding hidden power in poetry that has musicality. The chorus of the song almost gave me the feeling that I had completed my mission," musician Nguyen Vinh Tien confided.
The song Wind and Love Blowing on My Country , composed by Nguyen Vinh Tien, will be officially performed by Diva My Linh in the poetry and musical night of the same name.
The poetry and musical night Wind and love blows over my country includes 4 chapters, with the titles of famous poems and works by the playwright Luu Quang Vu. Using many art forms, the program recreates the short life but full of love and the desire to live beautifully and meaningfully of the talented writer of the time - Luu Quang Vu - who is known as the pioneer playwright in Vietnamese drama in the renovation period.
