Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long and artist Binh Tinh
On the 6th day of Tet, as promised this year, Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long organized a ceremony to give rice to poor farmers in his hometown, in Vung Liem district, Vinh Long province.
"I started doing charity work because I received so much love from the public. Every year I return to my hometown and do charity work in early spring, as a small token of my love as a child born and raised in this beloved land" - Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long said.
Joining him were People's Artist Le Thuy, Meritorious Artist Phuong Hong Thuy, singer Cat Tuyen, artist Nhat Khanh... "This year's artists have contributed to bringing positive and good things to society, spreading love for people through meaningful gifts. I also joined them, hoping to contribute to spreading these good values" - People's Artist Le Thuy said.
Artist Binh Tinh sends love to fellow artists in difficulty
As for Meritorious Artist Phuong Hong Thuy, this time she will return to the country to visit 5 artists in difficult circumstances, contributing a small gift to share with their lives. "There are many old, sick and lonely artists, the stage of traditional theater is in a state of lack of audience, so they really need sharing. This time I come back to my hometown, I hope to contribute my efforts to charity work" - the artist famous for the role of Cam Thanh in the play "The singing girl" said.

After the performances at Hong Lien theater, artist Binh Tinh gave 200 gifts to artists and backstage workers. She considered it a gift of gratitude to the audience.
Artist Tu Trinh has been quietly giving gifts to artists at the artist retirement home for many years. She and some close friends buy gifts, prepare lucky money envelopes, and visit the artists every Tet holiday. She said it is a little bit of the artist's sincerity that she wants to share with her colleagues.
The image that Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long loves the most is carrying his mother on a bicycle around the countryside in Vung Liem, Vinh Long.
Artist Dai Nghia used to perform at crossroads and in the middle of the market. He even performed under a bridge for poor workers around him to watch for a fee of 50,000 VND, so he wanted to do charity work when he had enough money.
When the audience mentions him, they all think he is an MC who earns billions, but few people know that his salary is the result of many years of effort by the artist.
With over 25 years in the profession, Dai Nghia has been very active in social work. He was awarded the "Artist for the Community" award in 2021 by the Lao Dong Newspaper.
Artist Ly Hung, singer Dam Vinh Hung, My Tam are also artists who quietly do charity work in Vietnamese showbiz.
Previously, My Tam has also quietly participated in many charity activities, such as supporting the prevention of COVID-19, awarding scholarships to students, and giving gifts to the poor.
Singers My Tam, Dam Vinh Hung, Ha Anh Tuan and Den Vau have one thing in common when doing charity work and participating in social work, which is using art programs to make profit and using that profit to do charity work. They do not organize donations, only use their efforts and finances to share.
People's Artist Kim Cuong commented that the current artists contributing to Ho Chi Minh City's care for the poor is a beautiful image of an artist.
She appreciates the fact that artists do not make noise, do not promote their names, and especially do not get involved in scandals, but quietly contribute and serve society and the community.
"It is not by chance that Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper awarded Le Thuy and me the "Lifetime Artist for the Community" award. Because we have been doing social work for decades, and with our hearts. Thank you for the affection of the Editorial Board of Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper and above all, thank you to the readers and audiences who have always cared for and shared with us artists through volunteer work" - People's Artist Kim Cuong said.
Another common point among artists doing charity work today is that they all aim at orphans, lonely elderly people, and artists and backstage workers in difficult circumstances.
To make their charity programs sustainable, long-term and practical, they have prepared new products to launch in 2024, thereby bringing the revenue to charity.

They do charity work but also invest in the future of society. And first of all, they create material for themselves, when they observe life, and do good for the community that needs sharing.
In fact, volunteer activities and community service have long attracted many artists to participate and donate money, support and sponsor specific programs. The family of the late Meritorious Artist and Musician Bac Son gave gifts and monthly food to the poor in Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City and awarded scholarships named after musician Bac Son, all from the family's own pocket.
For artists, interacting with the public is very important. Some people increase interaction by investing in media, promoting through volunteer work. Some people seek to expand channels of contact with the audience.
But there are also people who stay quiet and don't post any information because they are afraid to use PR tricks to increase interaction.
"They are true artists who do charity work with their hearts. The interactions they receive in return are the feelings coming from the hearts of the public this spring" - People's Artist Kim Cuong said.
