Phan Mạnh Quỳnh has been known as a young, talented, and outstanding singer-songwriter in Vietnamese showbiz since 2015.

Apart from those hits, “Đi Tìm Chân Ái” of Phan Mạnh Quỳnh was also chosen to be the keynote song of the show “Chân Ái” on the VTV3 channel. At the time central Vietnam was hit by a terrible typhoon, Phan Mạnh Quỳnh unveiled the song “Miền Gian Khổ” arousing the compassion of the nation for the central land of Vietnam.

Thanks to the incredible meaning of the song, its popularity has surged unimaginably on numerous music charts. The song is considered a grain of comfort to the people who went through a natural disaster. Additionally, Phan Mạnh Quỳnh did not compose the song “Miền Gian Khổ” in the role of an outward observant, but a son of the miserable land.

He was born and raised in Nghệ An province, hence, he could utterly sympathize with all the pains and sufferings. Central Vietnam and the people there have to suffer the loss that words cannot describe almost every year. In the track, Phan Mạnh Quỳnh enthusiastically wrote:
“Con nước về tan hoang, kéo nhau thành tay trắng
Giữa bão bùng chưa ngưng
Tiếc công ngày nai lưng, gian khổ đến tận cùng
Giữa đắng cay khôn thấu
Khát mong những bình thường…”
