work AND of Nguyen Ngoc Hanh

Over a long period of loss of the tan, imprisoned, separated families, living under a hostile regime, the date is out of the country, are standing grave, his eyes looked distant beloved flag How many years away, the headset back in the old majestic music, hearts suddenly stir many memories, both the tears poured down. How many people with mood as I set foot on the first day to the country people. Is that what you have lost our hearts regret and laments.

Remember one morning last day, last session flag at the unit and no one doubts that the separation session, tan now will listen. Five brothers each go in one direction, the weathered away leaving home, people in jail places the toxic jungle. Southern family suddenly scattered, each one falling into, no gap between the two sides are also mortal thousand identical separation.

There are hundreds of old national anthem as the national anthem in the Netherlands from the sixteenth century, but there are only echoing the national anthem for a while, preterm premature in the context of war, the country has been formed fate buried. In that country, a youth was buried in a fire extinguishing fire, uncertain future in gun smoke, and hopes soon fade. To protect the freedom of the South, a million young people under the flag, was lying down, the bones of essential items, which is now nearly forty years remains still drool over optimistic. Where the national anthem is a song of a lovesick songwriter that wrote to a person, to life after the singer back to the individual of the same mood to enjoy it. Anthem is a song written for millions of listeners.

Please do not anyone to teach us define what a good music. Word of beautiful music, but the word "or" does not say a thing at all. A new music creators are done, if only just heard through the preliminary round, bringing the listener the feeling of the original superficial. Springs from just the water, becoming the river, which flows through coastal cleaning, field, via the bridge, through village, to the glorious dawn, to the late afternoon sunshine and harmony with the ocean. Music Music insensitivity if not carry the memories, not in the time stamp, not the happiness and sadness of human life. Does anyone hear a track that does not remember a lifetime, do not remember an anniversary, or remember a person, such as in pity hear a song, think of the war: "Who has heard marched away singing, but do not remember old mother trade "(PD).

Dr. Schubert is a scholar of performing arts from the University of New South Wales Australia, said: "If anyone asked their favorite song is all that, many people responded, which is the song that they had heard in childhood or adulthood was. " He said that the song always remains in the listener's mind for many different reasons such as the concept of culture, past experience and to be repeated several times. We, therefore no wonder if their battle songs or love songs appear in the 65-75 period, nearly 40 years later have been well received by those who entered at age 60 today outside or in the country.

We often remember relented has outstripped the country listening to folk songs, the sound of the words complained elected, the words sound like crying binary clock. And there, the moonlight, the river, the shore and bamboo, the fields, the cough, what was far from the village of his childhood as a resurrection. It is not only the call of the homeland but a whisper of the past, suddenly is on. In music, folk music or folk songs often bring negative effects to touch people's hearts and gets people moving to tears.

But if there is a song most impact on people's hearts, I would not hesitate to say that it is the national anthem. Not the first day leave the country far away, all that's left is to call loved ones from home blood that cried when we heard the national anthem, which, until now, almost a few decades , all thought to have forgotten, fade over time, the music as to illuminate the "movement of feeling" (*) in our hearts.

Many songs just reminds us to remember a person, the national anthem today we remember to make millions. Those who have fled their country for freedom, far from the source, have been pushing around the corner of the sea horizon. The song reminds us to remember those who fought and sacrificed his body and died under the flag during the retention period. The song makes us remember the forests, trails, beaches, a war where you had collapsed. The song makes us recall the humiliation in prison, the truncated lame unfortunate comrades, the lonely widow. The song reminds us thirty year period, even a brief but full of memories. You've seen people crying and your own tears more than once for the national anthem.

Please sing the national anthem, or even solids washed tears to cry for freedom has been a loss, shame for peace in disgrace and to think of those who died for us to live, people with injury to heal us, those who remain for us to leave.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY BACH LIEN HOA.NAM MO AVALOKITESVARA BODHISATTVA.( 3 TIMES ).16/1/2012.
