August 7, 2012 - Duc Nguyen, the younger of the famous Vietnamese conjoined twins, whose deformation was caused by Agent Orange, and were surgically separated in 1988, will bring the music video of the song “Vi Mot The Gioi Dep Tuoi” (For a Beautiful World) along on his trip starting from August 10 as a peace ambassador to Japan this week.
The song, which was written by Japanese art teacher Toshiaki Uchimoto, was inspired by Duc’s effort to overcome his troubles in life. In 2011 Uchimoto, a teacher at a high school in Japan, visited Vietnam and was shocked to see pictures featuring the wars’ consequences, especially dioxin victims. Uchimoto also met Duc, and the song “For a Beautiful World” was born and first released at Uchimoto’s school in Japan.
The teacher also invited Duc to have online meetings with his classes in the hope that the small man with big energy from Vietnam could inspire the students.
“I feel empathy with the song and want Vietnamese people to know it,” Duc shared.
He then asked local singer Nguyen Phi Hung to make a Vietnamese version of the song. The singer was not only willing to make a Vietnamese audio version, but he also helped Duc make the music video for the song. read more>>>
