WEBVTT 00:00:04.491 --> 00:00:09.857 Sometimes I also think that I should be at the family warmer or at 00:00:09.857 --> 00:00:11.391 the music school warmer. 00:00:11.831 --> 00:00:16.841 But perhaps the fragrance like that at that time of young people going to 00:00:16.841 --> 00:00:18.631 battle overshadowed all those hardships. 00:00:21.231 --> 00:00:24.961 More than 50 years after the country's reunification, the memory of the war is 00:00:24.961 --> 00:00:28.691 still intact in the minds of those who have gone through that historic moment. 00:00:29.611 --> 00:00:33.856 For musician Duc Trinh, the soldier of yesteryear, the journey of holding a gun 00:00:33.856 --> 00:00:37.798 was not only a choice of youth, but also became a material to 00:00:37.798 --> 00:00:39.011 nurture later creative lives. 00:00:40.314 --> 00:00:45.701 In the midst of the time when 1974 was the reality at that time, it is not yet 00:00:45.701 --> 00:00:48.394 possible to know that 1975 has liberated the country. 00:00:48.614 --> 00:00:51.554 But at that time, it was probably very crowded on the road. 00:00:51.914 --> 00:00:55.652 Along with the call letters to enter the National Academy of Music, which was 00:00:55.652 --> 00:00:57.254 then the Hanoi Conservatory of Music. 00:00:57.254 --> 00:00:59.174 Then I decided to go, to join the army. 00:00:59.394 --> 00:01:03.249 And even though I knew it would be hard, but maybe it was with friends at 00:01:03.249 --> 00:01:04.454 that time, they all went. 00:01:04.454 --> 00:01:09.886 That's right, I just think in the way that it's okay if this is also an 00:01:09.886 --> 00:01:15.657 opportunity for me to try to see how soft my favorite foot is or to try to 00:01:15.657 --> 00:01:17.354 see how my spirit is. 00:01:17.714 --> 00:01:22.486 But it's impossible, at that time my dad said that we can't try here, but this 00:01:22.486 --> 00:01:24.574 must be real, not just testing anymore. 00:01:24.934 --> 00:01:27.214 Now it's not okay, once you go, you have to go to the end. 00:01:28.141 --> 00:01:30.891 Those experiences have become an important life experience, accumulated 00:01:30.891 --> 00:01:33.641 by the musician throughout his years of military service. 00:01:35.407 --> 00:01:40.187 There were even nights lying with fallen comrades. 00:01:42.167 --> 00:01:46.742 What I thought was that before leaving, I thought it would not 00:01:46.742 --> 00:01:48.267 be acceptable, for example. 00:01:48.507 --> 00:01:51.947 But it was very first time that when you came in, your friend sacrificed himself. 00:01:51.947 --> 00:01:56.007 and I have to lie with them to guard the earthen box 00:01:56.007 --> 00:01:58.427 but haven't been able to bring his teammates back. 00:01:58.647 --> 00:02:01.587 Well then I can't think, then it feels very normal 00:02:01.587 --> 00:02:05.607 but later I thought that I couldn't forget 00:02:05.607 --> 00:02:09.387 along with those who even at that time were the river to the battlefield 00:02:09.387 --> 00:02:12.287 I also can't think that its death is gone. 00:02:14.007 --> 00:02:17.807 That is, at that time I thought it was okay, it was also going to the battlefield 00:02:17.807 --> 00:02:20.747 then it definitely must have that loss and sacrifice. 00:02:21.307 --> 00:02:24.307 Then myself in the example trip with my teammates 00:02:24.307 --> 00:02:28.827 then it can be said that it is almost a loss of nearly a third 00:02:28.827 --> 00:02:30.647 the number that in that wave, 00:02:31.567 --> 00:02:35.447 Our units at that time participated in the most fierce moments. 00:02:35.447 --> 00:02:40.347 and welcome the first days when the country was liberated 00:02:40.347 --> 00:02:43.647 in that battlefield feeling that is 00:02:43.647 --> 00:02:49.487 that is a so-called life I have experienced those things. 00:02:50.027 --> 00:02:54.227 And later it will be a motivation for me to have works 00:02:54.227 --> 00:02:58.807 as well as having experiences to teach students. 00:03:00.195 --> 00:03:04.161 When the country was at peace, returning to music and teaching, it was the 00:03:04.161 --> 00:03:07.560 experiences left by the war that contributed to the formation of creative 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.675 inspiration and the way he conveyed it to the student generation.
