Bao Yen retired from her career and devoted herself to monastic life when she reached the age of 60.

Bao Yen said that the Old Road live show will be the last time she meets the Hanoi audience. After saying goodbye, she will turn off her phone, lock her door, not socialize, become a vegetarian, and live a pure and gentle life until she returns to Amitabha..

The female singer confided that performing the live show Duong Xua in Hanoi on September 20th was truly a fate for her. For a long time, Bao Yen had planned to bring her whole family to Hanoi and perform a live show to say goodbye to Hanoi before retiring from her career at the age of 60, that is, in 2017. With this fate and the series of programs Vang Son Mot Thoi, Bao Yen and her whole family reunited as her most gentle farewell to the audience of the capital.

Bao Yen is nervous and filled with mixed emotions after many years of not singing in Hanoi.

“As an artist, no one wants their career to stop, no one wants to say goodbye to the audience, but Bao Yen has determined her path clearly and firmly,” she said.

Many people may think that Bao Yen is too extreme in making such a decision, because life has given her a unique singing voice, she should have devoted herself to it longer. But Bao Yen sincerely confided that before she decided to become a monk, she stopped all artistic activities and focused on the path of monasticism. After a long enough time for her to realize that her monasticism was already very "deep", she returned to singing with the simple thought that if she had become a "deep" monk, she could still practice like that when she stepped out into the world.

But she found herself mistaken, when returning to her career, she also stumbled upon the petty stories of life, making her feel unable to calm down and be at peace. Therefore, Bao Yen decided to carry out some of her big programs to prepare for the journey of saying goodbye to the audience.

For her, all those years of singing, the bitterness and sweetness, the happiness that her career and fame brought her were enough. She felt that she had received a lot in life, so leaving her career at the age of 60 was considered a mature decision for her to devote herself to the monastic life.

One thing is for sure, those who love Bao Yen, even though they respect the decision of this talented artist whose life has been full of hardships, will still feel extremely sad when they have to say goodbye to her. For many years, from when she was young until now, Bao Yen's voice has remained almost unchanged, still captivating listeners with her warm, passionate, and soulful lyrical voice.

Just like her voice has not changed, Bao Yen's beauty has not changed much over time. She still keeps her makeup style from when she was young, her bangs and long hair that "made waves" with female audiences, when "Bao Yen's hair" became a trademark. And especially, Bao Yen is still very feminine and sexy in her performance costumes.

According to Bao Yen's concept, fame and fortune cannot be taken with her when she dies, so she wants to live the most peaceful and pure life during the years after her death.

To make the farewell to the audience of the capital as complete as possible, these days Bao Yen's family is working hard together to prepare for the show. Being extremely meticulous in her work and in each of her songs, Bao Yen hopes that the show will be an unforgettable memory for the audience with her image, and an unforgettable image of her with the capital./.
