Artist Ngoc Be passed away at the Artist Nursing Home

This is a portrait that artist Ngoc Be really likes and hangs in her room.

Ngoc Be is one of the artists who has lived for many years at the Ho Chi Minh City Artists' Nursing Home (full name is Ho Chi Minh City Stage Artists' Nursing Home).

She was lucky to be able to return to Thi Nghe Nursing Center, her new home, with her other friends Ngoc Dang, Dieu Hien, Lam Son, and Dang Thi Xuan, before leaving this world.

A life attached to the stage

Artist Ngoc Be's full name is Le Thi Tam, born in 1932 in Tien Giang.

She is known as a cai luong musician in the troupes Saigon 1, Huong Mua Thu, Hoa Mai...

People in the profession remember her for her graceful organ playing and her talent for playing drums in the orchestra.

In recent years, artist Ngoc Be's health has been very poor and he has had to stay in bed.

However, she still talked very clearly and smiled brightly to those who visited her at the Artists' Nursing Home and later at the Thi Nghe Nursing Center.

During the ceremony to receive artists from the Ho Chi Minh City Artists Nursing Home to the Thi Nghe Nursing Center on February 27, Ms. Ngoc Be could not attend, so city leaders went to her bed to give her flowers and gifts.
