Artist Thuong Tin: "I'm a "yamaha" so I have to bear it myself, what can I complain about?"

The charity concert to raise funds for artists, helping three artists Mac Can, Hong Sap and Vu Quang, will take place on April 30 at Trong Dong stage (HCMC).

As the main character in the program, artist Thuong Tin said that his health is not good due to old age but he can still sing. Besides singing, he also acts in movies, directs movies and plays on stage.

He said that he came from a theater background and was trained for 8 years at a cultural and artistic school (following both French and Russian training programs), so he could play many types of roles. He said that in terms of productions, he had hundreds of roles. "But I was loved more in the film industry. I went up from there," he said.

He said he was happy to see that the audience still loved him.

Looking back at the achievements in his artistic career, artist Thuong Tin said he has seen it all. Many people told him "Thuong Tin's time is over", not only is he not sad but he also agrees because "that's right". "My time is long gone. I still have a job now, and I am still loved because of my "begging for the past" style. People still love me so they invite me, but in fact, now, I am too old, and I don't have the strength to pursue flexible work like many young people. So having a job now is very good" - he said.

Talking about his current life, artist Thuong Tin admitted: "I'm a "yamaha" type (old but greedy) so I have to endure it and don't dare complain." He said his daughter has just started school and is still so young that "sometimes I feel uneasy. I know I could die at any time. After the stroke, my health is not guaranteed now. Seeing my daughter suffer is very sad. My daughter is my source of life now."

He also frankly admitted that his life was full of gossip. There were things that were not wrong, but there were also misunderstandings. Sometimes, he wanted to speak up to correct himself, but he said, "Maybe if others truly loved me, they wouldn't misunderstand. But if they misunderstood, any explanation would become an excuse. Well, just try to live the rest of your days as happily as possible." However, "there will come a day when I will say everything, the things that the audience is misunderstanding, by recording a video and showing it to everyone," said artist Thuong Tin.

He said his life was very complete. The past was no longer a matter of discussion. But these days, he still felt the love his audience had for him.

He said: "Recently when I went to Hanoi , some audiences saw me and cried because they saw me alive, in the flesh before their eyes. I have been rumored to have died 5 or 7 times, so when the audience saw me alive, they were very happy. As for me, when I saw that the audience still loved me, I was very happy."

He also knew that due to his poor health, the opportunity to perform was always very slim. So whenever he had the chance, he wanted to appear as a greeting or even a farewell to the audience.
