'I was touched when an audience gave me a loaf of bread'

For folk music audiences, Ngoc Son is a beloved idol. He is famous for songs such as Lonely Moon, Father’s Love, Mother’s Heart… Ngoc Son is one of the singers with the largest number of CDs sold in the market in the 1990s.

Talking to VTC News reporter, famous singer Ngoc Son recalled his youth when he received loving gifts from the audience, sometimes even just loaves of bread.

"I still remember the time when I only weighed 48-50kg. When I went on stage, my extended family felt so sorry for me that someone bought me a loaf of bread. Even though it was just a loaf of bread, it was such a precious gift that it brought tears to my eyes. There were even audiences who sent vegetables and fruits to the dormitory where I lived three times a week to provide food. Many times when I went on stage, someone even slipped 1-2 thousand dong into my hand to give me because they saw that I was so skinny and were afraid I wouldn't have money to eat.

I am happy to have a big family everywhere, in every profession, who always loves me. Now when I recall these early memories, I am still emotional and will never forget," he said.

The male singer also admitted that he was afraid of being in debt to his extended family, so he never dared to accept money when the audience gave him gifts. He said that after many times of not accepting, the audience understood and loved him more.

However, Ngoc Son advises artists to accept gifts if given because it is the audience's affection, and also a way to make fans happy.

"Recently, a younger brother also wanted to carve a statue of Ngoc Son and his mother to give as a gift, but I was too shy to agree. I know that the love of my extended family for me is very great, but I am just a small person, only knowing how to love my parents and my extended family. The love that my extended family gives me is what Ngoc Son cherishes the most.

I know that my extended family's love for me is so great that I can never repay it all, so I still try to improve myself to repay this love," he confided.
