After 75 years of life and nearly 60 years of a singing career, Khanh Ly has experienced many ups and downs in both her life and career. After 1975, she left her homeland and moved to the United States with her family. Khanh Ly then returned, and was rewarded with an unforgettable reunion with thousands of fans at the first performance in Hanoi. Since then, Khanh Ly has returned many times to Vietnam, and every time she comes back, she feels loved and welcomed by the audience.

“I come back to express my gratitude toward my homeland, my loved ones, my friends, my audience and the children and the lonely elderly ones who give me this life, love me and let me sing today”.
