Emotional when the song "Proud of Metro TP.HCM" was sung loudly on the first train

The song "Proud of Metro TP.HCM" played on the metro train, no music, just applause but everyone was moved to silence.

Singer and musician Hai Yen and delegates sang the song "Proud of Ho Chi Minh City Metro" on the first metro train officially put into operation.

On the train from Suoi Tien Bus Station to Ben Thanh Station, many people on the train were moved when the song "Proud of Metro TP.HCM" was played, performed by the composer of this song.

There was no music, just singing and clapping from the people on the train, but when the song started, everyone was moved.

Talking to Giao Thong Newspaper reporter, Ms. Nguyen Nhu Hai Yen, vocal lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City Academy of Music shared that she was very honored, happy and touched when the song she composed was chosen and became the song... in this important milestone.

It is known that Ms. Yen composed this song 5 years ago, with comments and sharing stories about the metro line implementation process of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Management Board.

Xúc động khi ca khúc — The joy of metro project participants on the official operation day.

"I have heard stories and watched films about the journey of making the metro, from which I feel the resilience, patience, and overcoming difficulties of the collective of people who made the metro and wrote the song. In this song, every sentence, every word, every melody is the wholeheartedness of those who are attached to the metro," said Ms. Yen.

Talking about metro line 1, Ms. Yen said that the moment the first train was put into operation was a historic moment, very much worth cherishing.

In the future, Ho Chi Minh City will certainly have other urban railway lines, but the first moment the city masters the technology and the railway line will always be meaningful.

On the metro train this morning, Dr. Phan Huu Duy Quoc, a member of the consulting team for the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway System Project, stood quietly observing with eyes full of pride and happiness.

Mr. Quoc said that when he was on the first metro train officially put into operation, he remembered the early days when the project was implemented, thinking about his unfulfilled promise.

When he started working on Metro Line 1, he promised his children that he would return to Japan when the railway was completed. But the project took so long to complete that the promise never came true.

"Moreover, now the city continues to prepare for other metro lines, I will stay to make the most of my experience and knowledge, contributing and directly participating in work in my hometown," Mr. Quoc shared.

Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong hopes that city residents and tourists will actively support and use the urban railway to contribute to maintaining and maximizing the effectiveness of the urban railway after its official operation.

Metro is not only a means of transportation but also a cultural symbol, a bridge between people and humane stories.

According to Mr. Cuong, in the next phase, Ho Chi Minh City will continue to prioritize and focus on investing and synchronously developing urban railway lines in the urban transport planning, strongly developing according to the TOD model, aiming to build Ho Chi Minh City into a smart, modern, sustainable city in the future - a symbol of innovation, connection and urban civilization.
