I heard about singer Pham Quynh Anh in 2008 when she visited her homeland (Vietnam) after her long time living far away and she sang the song "Hello Vietnam" as a spirit gift that she gave to Vietnamese people at a theater in Ho Chi Minh city. At that time, with her all affection torwards her country and her sweet voice, she made many people could not keep their tears.
Unfortunately, I didn't listen to this song at that time. Today, I listened to it by chance and I listened it again, again and over again. This song really evoked a special emotion in my heart that I can't not express it in words. The song expresses her emotions as well as her feelings of her homeland which she doesn't know much about. And this is not her own sentiment, it is very common in many Vietnamese people who are living aboard and left Vietnam when they were very young and don't have an opportunity to visit their fatherland.
Thank you Pham Quynh Anh, you helped me to recognize how music can strongly influence on one's feelings. May you, Pham Quynh Anh, be successful and peaceful in your life!

My family and I too had to leave our country, nevertheless this song connect us all to the place which we had to leave behind ,but which in essence is our essence in soul.
I was very fortunate to visit your beautiful country last year and i have deep respect for the culture and history of the country.
Peace, love harmony and prosperity for all brothers and sister of this wonderful planet earth!
