“I wrote the song Sài Gòn Sống Như Tia Nắng Mặt Trời after learning the challenges and suffering that people living in HCM City have faced during the Covid-19 pandemic,” said composer Bao, who began his career in HCM City in 2001. 

“My song came from my deep love for HCM City and its people. It highlights the Vietnamese spirit in fighting against the virus spread.”
