In addition, there are revolutionary songs that have accompanied the years such as “I am a miner”, “That soldier”, “Song of traffic and transport”. Particularly, the work “My dear Quang Binh ” is renewed with the combination of the moon lute of People’s Artist Co Huy Hung and the Symphony Orchestra.

He left behind more than 700 works of diverse forms, genres and formats: songs, choirs, film music, symphonies, instrumental music, children's music..., a rich heritage in which many works have become cultural symbols, accompanying the country.
