(Nguoinoitieng.vn) – Continuing and inheriting his late father’s talent as a composer, ability to appreciate music, however, musician An Hieu’s path to music was also very difficult.
History
His birth name is Nguyen An Hieu, born on December 2, 1975 in Nghe An. He was the former leader of the group Team (a group formed in 1996, all of whose members were students of the Military School of Art and culture) in the role of keyboard player – composer. Currently works as a lecturer at the Military University of Culture and Arts.

Childhood and experiences
An Hieu had a difficult childhood when his father, the late musician An Thuyen, was an actor in the art troupe of Military Region IV, and his mother was an actress in the opera and opera Nghe An, whose salary depended entirely on the government. |
An Hieu saw his parents go through the life of an artist living with folk art, with tough training sessions, meager meals and the general poverty of the whole society at the moment.

Even when her whole family decided to move to Hanoi, life was no better because with two empty hands, no parents, a borrowed 16m2 house is the little thing the family of 4 An Hieu yes, the rest is shared equally between the poor and the hardships of the subsidy period.
Even for several days when the family had no money to buy food, An Hieu had to go to the pond in the Van Cong Mai Dich collective area to look for crabs and fish.
But perhaps the difficulty for An Hieu is not the childhood life of lack of food, lack of clothes, living in poverty during the subsidy period, but the affirmation of his own talent, “against “his family to follow art because there was a time when his parents tried to keep their son from being exposed to music for fear he would follow art.

Perhaps the late musician An Thuyen and his wife are the ones who understand better than anyone the hardships of an artist’s life during the old and new transition period, so they want their son to study another profession and get a stable job and good income.
But An Hieu, according to his own comment, is a boy with a very strong personality, “messed up a lot and was not good at studying” who tried everything to be able to touch the guitar. Unable to resist his son’s passion for art, the late musician An Thuyen was forced to let An Hieu enter the Military Art College.

The impulsive and immature thoughts of a teenage son with a strong personality made An Hieu very angry with his father and still suffer from an inferiority complex that his father did not understand him, did not love him, which i do is like duty and duty.
An Hieu himself also confided in the conversations of father and son for many years, both of them could not find a common voice, could not talk to each other.

As for the late musician An Thuyen, partly because he was strict about how to teach his children through orders and beatings, partly because he was worried about his life, he made the relationship between father and taut wire.
Few people know that a successful musician and lecturer for many generations of students once rebelled in the college lecture hall, carried out all the mischief in the school dormitory, even a time he had to sign a decision to warn his son in front of the whole school for violating discipline.
Later, when he grew up and became a parent, An Hieu seemed to realize and understand the heart his lost father had for him because “we should treat our parents as we want our children to.” .” |

The common meals between father and son appear more, with the theme of music. The blame for his father’s beatings in the past, An Hieu’s anger now becomes more understanding and appreciated than his father’s heart and love for him because without the harshness of this day, he could not be who you are today.
