Artists share at the ceremony

At the ceremony, musician Nguyen Van Chung expressed his emotion and honor when receiving words of encouragement and recognition from the Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee. He said that Continuing the Story of Peace was composed around November 2023 at the request of singer Nguyen Duyen Quynh for an album on the theme of homeland and country to celebrate the founding anniversary of the Vietnam People's Army on December 22. Since then, nearly 2 years have passed, the song has been promoted in many forms on digital music sites and social networks and has been extremely loved by a large audience for its heroic melody and beautiful lyrics. Currently, singer Nguyen Duyen Quynh's version alone has reached a total of more than 2 billion views on music platforms and social networks. She also performed this song for free in many communities, at exchanges with people and soldiers in remote areas, places that do not even have a stage to perform.

Musician Nguyen Van Chung said: “In the past, I was often known for my compositions that focused on commercial music, family, love, and luckily I was loved and known by the audience. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to be supported by the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City, and the Ho Chi Minh City Music Association to participate in many trips to the source, to historical sites that mark a painful but heroic time. I once stood still before the graves of unknown martyrs at Hang Duong Cemetery in Con Dao. They lived their youth to the fullest, fought and sacrificed themselves for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland and the people. It was that source of gratitude that gave me so many emotions to sit down and write songs of gratitude to the previous generation, songs full of love for the country.”

Singer Nguyen Duyen Quynh shared: “Family tradition and gratitude to the previous generation are great motivations for Quynh to strive to produce the album Continue the story of peace and the song of the same name from 2023. The recognition, encouragement and motivation today from the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee and the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union are the motivation for young artists like me to continue to try and make efforts to create meaningful new products.
