[Vnbiz] [my sharing story] Da Lat-Cau chuyen gui nhung tri thuc VIet Nam yeu dau

Dear Thu Huong:
Every generation has its own music.  Thanks for sharing yours.
Post a sound file if possible.  The bloglink you provided didn't take me 
very far.
When I first returned to Vietnam in 1990, I started looking to update my 
song collection, all I found of interest to my ears was a collection of 
pre-75 songs (some still banned) and some from new composers like Duong 
Thu, Bao Chan, Pho Duc Phuong, Tran Tien, Phu Quang, and TCS.  Performers 
like Hong-Nhung was still riding in the back of the VN Airlines bus to 
catch a flight on a Tu-134 to HCM City for a show.  The songs became much 
more well known in the mid to late 90's thanks to CD recordings and an 
improving economy.  In subsequent years, I continued to look for new works 
that appeal to me, but they seem harder and harder to find.  So many 
popular songs are based on Canto-pop or the Korean movies.  Perhaps that's 
a manifestation of Vietnam's global integration?
I would appreciate a list of your favorite top 10 Vietnamese songs.
Every generation has its own music.  But the really songs, those that are 
"classical" and theirs composers are timeless.  I count TCS among them, at 
least for Vietnamese.
Best,  HPP

dear anh Phong and bro and sis,
thax for your sharing experience of Dalat. it's another interesting 
picture I have known. and you make me think about TCS. TCS is not 
interesting to my peer but most of the people in your age that I have met 
talk about TCS with special interest.
I want to spread this writing because I have a wish that many Vietnamese 
will gain some lovely experience as we the young people have. I think 
you-my bro and sis-are worthy of love, aprreciate and success in the 
endeavor to do sth better for teh nation. 
ah. I have just visited this girl's blog today about her volunteer job and 
i find some lovely thoughts and a lovely song. my peers listen to a vey 
different music. just attach to share if you might want to know what the 
current VNese young people are listening to.

Những tiếng dương cầm tan trong đêm lạnh.
Có ai đang ngồi xướng đôi bài,
Biết bao em nhỏ đem từng ánh sao
Trên bầu trời đầy những ước mơ.

Có tiếng dương cầm vang trong căn phòng,
Đông đã sang rồi vắng ai ngồi,
Có bao em nhỏ trông từng giấc mơ,
Mơ một ngày lạnh giá không còn.

Nhé em hãy cứ tin,
Niềm vui thắp sáng bao tâm hồn
Và ta cùng nhau nắm tay,
Chờ một ngày bình minh sáng tươi

Nhé em hãy ước mơ,
Rồi muộn phiền tan theo những bước chân em,
Chặt vòng tay sưởi ấm trong em.
Tiếng dương cầm bay lên trời cao

Về một hànhd tinh mới cho em bao niềm vui
Sáng lung linh cuộc đời em
Đưa em về nơi ấy bình yên
Cho em ngàn tia nắng ấm áp, tiếng lên bầu trời

Bước chân em không lẻ loi
Nụ cười tươi sáng trên môi đem hạnh phúc
Luôn nhỏ bé thôi
Lại một ngày tan cho em lại ước mơ (tiếng dương cầm) 
wish my bro and sis love,
HeO

Dear Thu Huong, 
Thanks so much for sharing your Da Lat experience.  You are so lucky with 
only 330 km to go to be among the pine trees.  I didnot know that I had 
influenced your decision to go to the mountains, but I am glad you did. It 
is so great that you are able to put down your thoughts and to share 
widely.  This form of sharing and others such as travel blogs didnot exist 
during my traveling days, plus I don't know if I would have the discipline 
to record regularly.   
Though I was not born there, Dalat was and remain a very special place to 
me.  I try to get there every chance I get, but not for the same reasons 
most tourists go there.  I prefer it there in the off season and alone. 
Reading your account, I see that you appreciate the place for some of the 
same factors.  But for the place to grow on you, you need to be there 
longer, on days when there is no clouds (rare) when you can walk to the 
top of the twin peaks and see forever, as well as times when it rains for 
weeks on ends when there is nothing to do but to curl up with a good book 
by a fragrant pinewood fire, roasting khoai lang that are royal purple 
outside and pumpkin orange inside and as sweet as honey (almost impossible 
to find now).  You need to be there on mornings when the fog is so thick 
you can't see a foot in front of you.  It insulates you so well you can 
hear your own heart beats.  You can really feel time standing still.  Now, 
imagine the music and the poetry of TCS, how they would speak to you in 
ways they never could in the best venues of HCM City. 
But so much for my reminiscense.  You will have your own Da Lat.  Some of 
the flowers you mentioned weren't there two decades ago, when the weather 
was a good bit cooler.  In fact, except for some of the wild flowers, most 
of the colorful blossoms that dazzled you so came straight from France 
less than a century ago.  That doesn't make them any less beautiful. There 
was no XQ embroidering industry to create the beautiful crafts.  Other 
changes, like the off-limit golfcourse,  the drying waterfalls and the 
night lighting for the flower growing operations, are less welcomed. 
If you had more time, you may get to know  some of the local intellectuals 
there who may share with you how they are imprisoned in paradise, unable 
to contribute more. 
Best,  HPP

Dear my bro and sis, 
This is another piece of my writing I finished after my last trip to Da 
Lat with my volunteer team. 
During last year, I have different chances to meet many cool Vietnamese 
Intellectuals. Everyone I have met brought special thinking to my young 
mind. 
Among them, anh Hong Phong in our forum makes me keep pondering about Da 
Lat. I have visited Da Lat before but I did not know that Da Lat is a very 
nice place. But anh Phong makes me to think about it. So we the young 
students go to Da Lat this Tet holidays. And here is what I have noted 
down.  Also, this is writing that I want to share with in Vietnamese 
intellectuals. hope you like it! Please share your mind and heart with me 
in any case! 
Enjoy,
