Moderation keeps you healthy for a long time
On this occasion, artist Minh Canh had an intimate exchange with the press. He is 86 years old but is still very alert, has a gentle and polite demeanor, and speaks respectfully, gently, and modestly, even with younger people, in the style of an old Saigonese. He said that he has been in the US for 18 years, occasionally singing at shows or at temples; on days when he does not sing, or when he does not receive guests, he recites Buddha's name all the time, reciting the four dignified postures of walking, standing, lying down, and sitting. He has been reciting Buddha's name for more than 40 years, and eats and drinks moderately, not wasting his energy. He said: "We must cherish our body, do not destroy or pamper it with bad foods, or with harmful activities. Moderation helps us stay healthy for a long time, and adapt quickly wherever we go."

He also told his memories of the actresses My Chau and Le Thuy in the past. When the Kim Chung troupe's manager Long split the troupe into many new troupes, he gave Kim Chung 2 to Minh Canh to take care of. He said: "At that time, Le Thuy and My Chau were about 16-17 years old, so I was like an older brother responsible for supporting them. With My Chau, I played the main actress and actor, which was easier to support. As for Le Thuy, who was playing the lead actress and actor with Minh Phung at that time, I supported them when they recorded the same play together. Later, Le Thuy was invited to go to the provinces too often, so she lost the CD market, and the company owner had to call other actresses. When Le Thuy returned to the city, I took her to a new company, so she regained her name in the CD market, so she thanked me. But I just thought we were colleagues, helping each other with whatever we could, not worrying about it." In fact, it was because of that favor that this time People's Artist Le Thuy sang for his live show, because normally she rarely accepted.
Minh Canh choked up in tears during the last live show, because he was so moved by the audience's love. He said if he couldn't hold back, he would have cried. And he was even more surprised when the audience asked for a second performance. Therefore, the producer Gia Bao rushed to the rehearsal stage, so that in just 3 weeks, everyone had to finish the script, decorations, and design. It was truly a "miracle" for a veteran artist like Minh Canh, and also a miracle for Cai Luong in difficult times.
