Van Cao's creative talent as well as his artistic achievements, especially the song Tien Quan Ca - Vietnam's National Anthem, have enriched the national art treasure."
Musician Van Cao was born on November 15, 1923 in Hai Phong. He became a soldier of the Viet Minh Honor Guard when he was only 22 years old. Before that, the public knew Van Cao for his love songs, famous in the Vietnamese modern music scene in the late 1930s and a talented person with romantic poetry and music.
When mentioning Van Cao, every Vietnamese citizen, even though they may not know all his songs, know all his poems and admire all his paintings, can certainly sing Van Cao's Tien Quan Ca to express their love for the Fatherland.
