Sharing with Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Nguyen Trung Truc (singer Trinh Vinh Trinh's husband) - representative of the late musician's family - said this is the 6th Trinh Cong Son statue in the country.
"The statue is beautiful, expressing the true spirit and artistic qualities of Trinh Cong Son," Mr. Truc expressed.
The late musician's family appreciates all the love and affection of Hue City and benefactors for musician Trinh Cong Son.
Hue is the first locality in the country to name a street after Trinh Cong Son (March 2011), on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the musician's death.

It is more meaningful and emotional that the statue was inaugurated on his birthday," said a family representative.
Trinh Cong Son Street is no longer sad?
Trinh Cong Son Street in Gia Hoi Ward is nearly one kilometer long, more than 10 meters wide, paved with asphalt, starting from the foot of Gia Hoi Bridge along the north bank of the Huong River to Nguyen Binh Khiem Street.
Over the past few years, Trinh Cong Son Street has "lost points" due to the image of sidewalk pubs, chaotic traffic, and loss of urban beauty.
That caused sadness for many Trinh music fans.
Trinh Cong Son Street is part of a large urban renovation project. To implement it, Hue City has reclaimed more than 74,000 square meters of land and relocated hundreds of households in the two former wards of Phu Cat and Phu Hiep, now Gia Hoi ward.
Responding to Tuoi Tre Online on the morning of February 26, Mr. Phan Thien Dinh - Secretary of Hue City - said that "the compensation and resettlement work has not been completed yet. Since the end of 2023, Hue City has also renovated a lot. In parallel with the renovation of this area, the city is continuing to complete the relocation of people".
"When completed, the city will have a very large and beautiful Trinh Cong Son space on the banks of the Huong River," said the Hue City Party Secretary.
