HANOI, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Born into a Vietnamese family of musicians, Dong Quang Vinh was used to immersing himself in Chinese folk music in his childhood as his father often bought cassette tapes of Chinese music for him as gifts, thus developing an interest in China.
During his study at China's Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Vinh met Chinese pianist Mo Shuangshuang in 2006, who later married him and moved to live in Vietnam with him.
To better promote music culture between the two countries, the couple found an orchestra in Hanoi and brought Vietnamese and Chinese folk music on stage many times. They also established a chorus composed mainly of internationals living in Vietnam to deepen people-to-people exchange through music.
The couple now travel between China and Vietnam as part of their efforts to enhance understanding between the two peoples. To them, the most beautiful melodies come from the amity between the two neighboring countries.
