Le Thuy tells the story of buying and driving a car for the first time and meeting Minh Phung at the age of 20.

The origin of this funny story is because a loyal audience of Le Thuy for 50 years told that in the past, when she was performing, she saw the actress Le Thuy wearing glasses, wearing a white shirt, driving a white car passing by, making her stunned because Le Thuy was so beautiful when she was young.

Le Thuy's first car was bought from a used car of the famous Mr. Long.

It was that audience's confession that made people around curiously ask how Le Thuy learned to drive when she was young and how cool she drove, making fans exclaim.

Le Thuy happily said that she studied and got her driver's license in Quy Nhon around the age of 20. She studied to prepare for "buying" her first car.

She still remembers the first car she bought from Mr. Long's old car. Mr. Long was the famous manager who founded the Kim Chung Cai Luong group with 5 or 6 troupes.

Kim Chung is a cai luong brand that has given wings to many cai luong talents such as Minh Canh, Minh Phung, Minh Vuong, My Chau, Le Thuy, Thanh Kim Hue, Kieu Tien...

Le Thuy remembers the first car she bought with the money from signing the contract with Kim Chung, about 350,000 VND.

She said: "When I was about to sign the contract, I told Mr. Long: This time when I sign the contract, I will take your car. Mr. Long heard that and said: Really? Then you let me have 350,000 VND."

After the agreement was signed, Le Thuy took the car without taking the money.

After a while, she changed to a new car that cost more than 1.2 million VND. She laughed and said: "The contract signing fee at that time was 1 million VND, but I dared to... go big and buy a car worth more than 1.2 million VND because I was so in love with it."

First meeting Minh Phung

The first car is also associated with a memory that she will always remember: the first time she met her close co-star, the late artist Minh Phung.

When receiving the car, Le Thuy accidentally met artist Minh Phung for the first time. He went to meet Mr. Long to sign the contract.

Bau Long introduced Minh Phung to Le Thuy and said he was the new actor of the troupe.

However, at first, Minh Phung did not sing with her, but he went with Kim Chung 2 troupe, then Kim Chung 5. At that time, Le Thuy went with Kim Chung 6 troupe to perform in the Central region. After a while, Le Thuy returned to the city to sing with Kim Chung 5 troupe.

Here she played the role of Lieu Mong Ha in the play The Desert Boy , paired with Minh Phung.

It can be said that Minh Phung is one of the actors who sang with Le Thuy, creating many impressions in the hearts of the audience.

They were once an unforgettable "stage couple" in many plays such as Please 1 time love each other, Kiep nao co yeu nhau, Dem lon chua hoang, Mau dyed san chu, Tay Thi - Gai nuoc Viet ...

Their attraction was so strong that the press at that time called Minh Phung - Le Thuy "The rising storm couple".

The audience was fascinated because Minh Phung - Le Thuy were a perfect match, their singing and acting were sweet and very emotional. Therefore, any play or record featuring them was enthusiastically supported by the audience.

Before Le Thuy made her mark with the Minh Vuong - Le Thuy joint venture, the trio Minh Phung - Le Thuy - Minh Vuong had already created a storm. In many plays, they created tragic love triangles that captivated the audience.
