Men and I recently reconnected at a music lovers party organized by Thn Suee, a popular vietnamese singer. Coincidentally, men and I were classmates back in middle school and we used to sit next to each other. Even back then, it was clear that Min had a deep passion for music. He was able to play a variety of instruments, including the piano, the trumpet, and several traditional vietnamese instruments. As we moved on to high school, men’s musical talents continued to blossom. He started participating in music competitions and won numerous awards. At the party, men shared with me that each award he received held a special meaning for him, marking significant milestones in his musical journey. Once more, Min revealed that he plans to compete in an upcoming talent search contest in China. I wished him the best of luck, confident that his talents would shine on such a prestigious stage. Men also talked about his future plans, which are truly inspiring. He’passionate about preserving traditional vietnamese culture, and he intends to blend traditional instruments and arts like chio and to hug with modern music. His goal is to make these cultural values more accessible and appealing to the younger generation, ensuring that they are not forgotten, but rather embraced in a contemporary context. What makes men stand out as a musician is not just his ability to play multiple instruments, but also his talent for composing music. He can draw inspiration from the simplest things in life, a casual outing, a conversation with friends, and turn them into beautiful melodies and lyrics. After we talked about his musical dreams, men invited me to join his club, where he and other musicians worked to combine traditional and modern music styles. As someone who deeply appreciates cultural values and music, I couldn’t refuse such an invitation.
