Journalist Cat Vu said that for cultural and artistic reporters in Ho Chi Minh City, People's Artist Kim Cuong is always loved and considered a spiritual sister. She is also a "living museum" that preserves a lot of knowledge about the stage, so reporters often visit her house to ask whenever they need information for their work.
Representatives of the Stage Reporters Club and the Criticism Board of the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association, journalists Huynh Thanh Dieu, Cat Vu, Hoang Kim, poet Phan Ngoc Thuong Doan, and journalist Thuy Binh congratulated People's Artist Kim Cuong on her birthday.

"Recently, my heart had a problem that forced me to be hospitalized. I was taken care of by the medical team at the Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute throughout my treatment. And even more surprisingly, I received a request from the Board of Directors of the Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute to support free health screening for all artists in difficult circumstances and the elderly.
Currently in Ho Chi Minh City, there are many artists in the fields of: hát bội, cải lương, drama, circus, magic… and backstage workers whose lives are very difficult. Medical examination and screening are almost impossible due to lack of money.
Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association will make a list for artists in this category to have a general health check-up at the Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute" - People's Artist Kim Cuong said.

Tomorrow, January 21, the first batch of 10 artists: People's Artist Thanh Trang, Meritorious Artist Minh Hanh, Meritorious Artist Thanh Nguyet, artists Thanh Loan, Quoc Nhi, Hoang Loc, Viet Phong, Kim Phung, Kendy Nguyen, circus artist Kao Long will be taken to the Ho Chi Minh City Heart Institute for health screening. This health screening program will continue after the Lunar New Year.
"This year I am no longer healthy enough to organize the program "Artist Tri Am", but instead I will organize medical examinations for my colleagues. I hope I am still healthy enough to do this program well. That is the spring wish of an artist who has vowed to "Forever for the community" as the award that Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper gave me" - People's Artist Kim Cuong confided.
