Songs such as: Mother's Legacy, Night Cannon, Yellow-skinned Vietnamese Girl... were not only his own voice, but also the common aspiration of many generations for peace and the desire to live in freedom. He used music to raise the voice of a sorrowful but resilient and indomitable nation.

After 1975, Trinh's music continued to resonate with songs like Mot co di ve (A realm to go back), De gio cuon di (Let the wind roll away), Do you still remember or have you forgotten)... expressing philosophy of life and contemplation of human life. His music at that time was no longer haunted by war, but became songs of love for life, evoking compassion and tolerance.
