Trich MV "Nguoi thay" - Doan Trang va con gai - be Sol, phat toi 20/11. Video: Nhan vat cung cap
The video, a documentary-style piece, captures everyday moments of Doan Trang and her daughter, along with Sol's reflections on student life. With a Swedish father, Sol grew up and studied in a bilingual environment, diligently practicing Vietnamese to deliver a more emotive performance. "I want my daughter to learn to love Vietnamese music, to deeply appreciate the great value of the teaching profession, and to feel gratitude," Doan Trang stated.
"Nguoi thay" is a musical piece Doan Trang dedicates to Professor Huynh The Cuoc, former Rector of Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology (HUFLIT). From 1995 to 2000, under Professor Huynh The Cuoc's guidance and support, she and the school's performing arts team achieved success, earning gold medals in various activities and competitions.
Professor Cuoc traveled to Long Khanh (Dong Nai) to speak with Doan Trang's family, hoping she would pursue postgraduate studies abroad and then return to work at the university. Upon learning of her determination to become a singer, he respected, supported, and followed her every step. When Doan Trang participated in the Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Competition in 2001, Professor Cuoc rallied HUFLIT students and lecturers to cheer her on. "No matter where I am or how successful I become, I will always remember his kindness and dedication," Doan Trang said.

The song "Nguoi thay" by Nguyen Nhat Huy was previously performed successfully by singer Cam Ly. The musician stated that when he composed the song in 1998, he envisioned Doan Trang and Quoc Dai singing it, as they were prominent in student performing arts at the time. While waiting for someone to introduce the song to the two singers, he gave it to Cam Ly to perform. "I was surprised that after 27 years, this song is now performed by the voice I originally intended," he remarked.
Doan Trang, 47, is from Dong Nai. In 2001, she won second prize in the Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Competition and pursued a professional singing career. She has many hit songs, including: "Forget me not" (Tran Thanh Tung), "Bang khuang", "Khi toi 20", "Toc hat", and "Socola" (Vo Thien Thanh). Sol is the first daughter of Doan Trang and her Swedish husband, Johan Wicklund.
