Background
Lam Phương was born in Vĩnh Thanh Vân village, now a part of Rạch Giá, Kiên Giang Province. In the front of his house was a river, and across the river was Thập Phương Temple. As a result, his childhood memories and imagery prominently featured small rowing boats (con đò) ferrying people across the river, the sound of ringing temple bells, and vast rice paddies, which were etched in his mind throughout his life from childhood and later influenced his musical works. As a very young child, he was fascinated by the sound of ringing temple bells, while his neighbors were uncomfortable with the bells waking everyone up early every morning.
