Google honors late Vietnamese musician Trinh Cong Son

Google, the most popular search engine in the world, has honored Vietnamese famous musician Trinh Cong Son by incorporating his image into Google Doodles for the day on the occasion of his 80thbirthday. Trinh Cong Son was the first Vietnamese to get such an honor.

Google’s honoring of the Vietnamese musical talent, famous for songs praising peace, delivered a positive message of peace to the world as it took place at a time when the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump were in Hanoi for the second summit.
