At 76 years old, musician Tran Tien is still very stylish and generous. Every time he returns to Hanoi, he goes drinking beer on the sidewalk and watching the streets with friends.

In the eyes of the audience, musician Tran Tien is a romantic and liberal artist. He often appears on stage with an improvisational style, wearing a beret and his familiar guitar.

For more than 10 years, he and his wife have moved from Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau. Whenever sitting with friends, he often talks about the house near the sea, which, according to him, is the place where he feels most peaceful.

He once confided: "I am living a peaceful life, waking up early in the morning to jog, watch the sea, eat breakfast and compose music. Even though I am a Hanoian, I love the sea very much. When I was little, I always dreamed of living in a small house by the beach, and now I live close to the sea.

Here I still work, but I also rest. I am a songwriter, an ordinary artist, not a people's artist or a distinguished artist as many people think.

Tran Tien modestly admits that he is a popular songwriter, but friends and audiences say that he is full of artistic talent. When on stage, he often improvises with young singers, exciting the audience.

The male artist added that he loves Hanoi very much and every time he has the chance to return, he still wanders the streets, watching the peacefulness of the people through their daily activities. However, the streets have changed so he often remembers his old memories.

"I have a habit of drinking beer and eating pho every time I come to Hanoi. But Hanoi now has too many pho shops, and the streets now have many delicious dishes, but none of them are to my taste.

The time when everything in Hanoi was cheap is over. Hanoi now seems to belong to someone else, too strange and prosperous, no longer suitable for me. When I go to Hanoi, wherever you book a place, I just go there to eat, without making any demands. The streets have changed a lot now, wherever I go I have to spend hours finding my way around...", he confided.

In 2020, musician Tran Tien discovered he had nasopharyngeal cancer. During the most difficult times, his wife and children were by his side, encouraging and accompanying the musician.ColorHe said that after 30 radiation treatments, he gradually recovered. When he felt better, he composed again.

"Every 6 months, I will go to Ho Chi Minh City for a check-up to monitor my health. I stay optimistic so my illness recovers quickly," he shared.

When he was sick, his children also came back to take care of him for a long time.
