I recently found a new pearl: this music. It has been a long time since I heard Chi Pu sing, and it is not disappointing at all. It was rather deep, emotional and pretty sad.
This MV actually traces the story of Tam Cam with the point of view of Cam. This tale can be considered as the Vietnamese Cinderella. This fairy tale is pretty famous in Vietnam, I would say that every Vietnamese know this story.
Here is the story: Tam ( means “broken rice”), a beautiful young lady lives a miserable life tormented by her stepmother and half-sister Cam, both considered Tam as their slave. In fact, Tam spend her day to do chores, feed pigs and go to fish. When night falls, she has to husk rices.
Only whe she was so hopeless and started to cry, a god came to help her. Thanks to him, her life became easier and she finally meet the prince at a festival. Both fall in love at the first sight, and decided to get married.
At this moment, Tam really thought that she can forget all the past because now she is happy. However, the jealousy stepmother didn’t let it go, so she decided to kill Tam and replaced her by Cam. She did not only kill her one time but four times. And Tam succeed in resurrecting four times. She finally found her husband again and start to really have her own happiness.
Parents used to tell this folktale since it is simple for children to understand, and we can learn some things through the story such as determination or happiness.
