Chieu Xuan said that she chose to leave the stage not because of the lack of innovation and breakthrough in her roles, but partly because of the need to make a living. The actress shared: " During the years 1996 - 1998, the life of an actor was very difficult even though I was a prominent face of the Vietnam Drama Theater. Making a living was not simple at all.
When I became the daughter-in-law of Do Nhuan's father, Tuc's mother, and Do Hong Quan's wife, for a very long time, Quan had to take care of the whole family by himself. I thought that I could not live and be supported by my husband forever, so I temporarily left the theater to open a company. Until old age came .
Missing the stage is always on the actress's mind. Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan added: "There are nights when I lie down and tears just flow, missing the stage like crazy. Missing the stage lights, missing the ladies, the actors, missing what I've been through. My heart is yearning, I'm burning a fire in my heart to regain faith in life, there's no way I can't participate."
In 2023, Chieu Xuan marked a fresh comeback with horror films including Tet in Hell Village and Soul Eater. These roles are completely different from the actress's familiar image on stage and screen. Explaining this, Chieu Xuan said: " Last year was a huge challenge. I felt like I had to read a violent script, all the joys, anger, love and hate had to go to the end, there was no halfway point, especially the role that director Tran Huu Tan gave me."

Listening to the veteran actress's sharing, MC Nguyen Khang wondered why directors invited her to play horror roles. Chieu Xuan said that when she was invited to participate, the director asked why she left the stage, the actress replied: "I left the stage to love it more" .
The female artist said this question touched her deepest thoughts: "I already have a source of energy there. I really want the director, colleagues, and friends to understand that I can do it."
Talking about her image change, Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan said that if the audience previously only knew her as a gentle, peaceful person, it might not be enough: "It's very difficult for a person to only be soft and gentle, to keep their composure in the face of storms, they can't always be neat. Sometimes they have to be very strong, very intense."
