Love country and love life

(NLDO) - Tung Duong shared that he is extremely happy when Gen Z audiences know him through songs praising his homeland.

- Reporter: 20 years after Sao Mai Diem Hen 2004, the audience sees a dramatic change in Tung Duong. And you, subjectively, how do you see your own change?

+ Singer Tung Duong: Ah, I see maturity in myself. Currently, Tung Duong has grown up, has matured. Just mature, not rotten (laughs). After many years of singing, Tung Duong is no longer naive or immature like when he had messy hair standing next to Kasim when competing in "Sao Mai Diem Hen" 20 years ago. Time has given me a lot of experience, experience and valuable lessons for myself. I have to adapt to the times to work, to be "non-stop" in music, otherwise I will fall behind the times.

After many ups and downs not only for me but also for many friends and relatives, I realized one thing, this life is always like a sine graph, ups and downs are normal. We all have to follow such rules, born, grow up, mature, "ripe" and then "rotten".

Now, Tung Duong realizes that the values ​​he has been searching for all this time are not far away, they are right inside him. Before, he sang about great things, the human spirit, but now he turns inward with simple things, the values ​​he has been searching for all this time.

- Now Tung Duong is also looking for companions, something he didn't see before...

+ If you go alone, you will be lonely. Loneliness will eventually lead to selfishness, patting your chest and thinking you are unique, number 1, no one can touch your temple. Drowning in your own glory is the tragedy of an artist. If you want to go a long way, of course you must have companions.

I think my life will have relationships that come and go. That's why, in the upcoming live show "Singing Man", I invite very interesting young people to accompany me.

The male singer believes that drowning in his own glory is the tragedy of an artist.

Soobin Hoang Son is an artist with a versatile image, both entertaining and very intelligent, his family has a three-generation tradition of doing art, he himself still maintains the national and folk spirit in music, which is precious. Trung Quan is a powerful singer, looking at him I see the old Tung Duong, passionate and struggling in his musical field. Tang Duy Tan is a younger brother of mine. Why do we keep inviting him to go somewhere far away but not inviting such a talented cousin?!

- Many recent game shows have brought many artists' names to new heights. Do you intend to add your name to this list one day?

+ Being involved in a game show requires a lot of preparation time and effort, but I think taking on too much is not suitable. Not now, I will participate in a few years if it is suitable. I am still aware that game shows are developing but it is not everything, not the only factor to conclude the development of music.

- Now that you are at the top, what do you fear most?

+ As a singer, what I fear most is losing my voice, my most precious thing. I once had a time when I had to face the complete loss of my voice. Losing my voice is not just a nightmare for Tung Duong but for all other artists. Luckily, at that time, a friend introduced me to a good doctor... I don't aim for illness, but no one is exempt. I had a fan, he came to all my shows, but recently he suddenly passed away from cancer, a young person leaving with a lot of regrets and pain.

I am also afraid that when people live unscientifically, indulge, and are not responsible for themselves, they are easily tempted, seduced, and lose themselves without knowing it. I know many people like that, spending more time high than sober. That is very dangerous because you no longer have the reason to do the right things, to plan your path with good things. Losing that is losing everything, losing your image in the hearts of the public, friends, family, relatives...

Misfortune can happen to anyone. So live as positively as possible, limit the dark side of each person, work hard to do charity, have a humane perspective. I like music that has the spirit of sharing with everyone, has ideas, not just pure entertainment.

- Is Tung Duong going from the ego to the self?

+ Exactly. My old self still had humanity in it, but it was still more self-indulgent, honoring my individualistic self, whereas now I look outward more.

In the past, my music had sublime and great things in "Thung o mau cuc", "Li ti", "Doc dao", "Bo quartet song Hong", "Troi va dat", "Human"... All of them had a very human spirit. But now, I return to reflect on myself with "Men don't need to cry" and "Nguoi dan ong hat", things that are very close and simple.

In the past, I used to judge this and that, but not now, I have awakened a lot. I think I am on the path of enlightenment, of awakening. I have changed, whoever creates value, I am happy for them, whoever creates fake value, let the public judge, not me. I do well for myself, not to lecture others, not to follow in the footsteps of people with too big an ego. The higher you are, the lower you are, the higher you are, the more humble you have to be, don't think you are something formidable.

I realize that the more tolerant I am, the more positive energy I receive.

- Speaking of positive energy, one very positive thing that is easy to see is that Tung Duong has more and more fans, and his fans are also more diverse, even including young children. What do you think about this?

+ I am glad that the Gen Y and Gen Z audiences do not know Tung Duong for his love songs but for his works praising his homeland, the greatest love of every human being. Gen Z children know Tung Duong through "A round of Vietnam", love their country more through the lyrics and melodies, that is an endless happiness. The greatest value lies there.

I try to spread the most positive energy, patriotism and love of life, because I myself am a patriot.
