Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen passed away on the afternoon of July 4, at the age of 87. She is considered one of the veteran actors of Vietnamese cinema and television. Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen participated in many famous Vietnamese films such as: Anonymous Eucalyptus Tree, Orange Garden, Kim Dong's Mother, When October Comes, Red Fate, That Day by the Lam River, Vu Dai Village Those Days...

However, the role of Mrs. Vi in the TV series “Cua De Danh” by Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen left the most impression and brought the most tears to the audience. In the film, she transformed into a mother, always accepting disadvantages, sacrificing her whole life for her children. The role was so successful that when Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen is mentioned, fans remember the image of a gentle, tolerant, virtuous mother.

After Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen passed away, People's Artist Lan Huong sadly said: "Savings. For me, she is the saving of Vietnamese cinema and television. From the very first days of my relationship with television, I had the opportunity to work with her. For her, no role was small. No matter how short or long the role, no matter how difficult the filming was near or far, she always worked with the mindset of a great artist. Her kindness and humility made me always admire and respect her. She was the golden generation of Vietnamese revolutionary cinema, but when television came, she was attached to television films and television dramas from the very first days. She worked with full respect and seriousness, which made me learn a lot. For me, she was a great artist, a very Vietnamese mother.

Yesterday, when my son heard that she had passed away in her sleep, he exclaimed: Oh, she's passed away, Mom? I acted in a few movies with her. I have to come see her off.

Grandma, I knew that one day you would have to leave, but I didn’t think it would be so soon. We lost a mother, a respected artist. I will no longer be able to voice for you. May you rest in peace and always watch over us, your children and grandchildren.”

Having had the opportunity to work with Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen, in director Do Thanh Hai's memory, she is a responsible person, dedicated to her profession and to the younger generations. "Ms. Yen has one thing that impressed me very much, which is her very elegant demeanor, typical of a Hanoi woman, always gently reminding her of anything that is not satisfactory but never showing her attitude. The majority of the actors are young actors and Ms. Vi is the central role, so Ms. Yen interacts with all the other characters. Despite her age, she is very diligent in learning the lines because at that time she was still making films and giving lines to the actors" - director Do Thanh Hai shared.

Co-starring in the film “Cu De Danh”, what impressed actress Quach Thu Phuong most about Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen was that she was very emotional and warm. “Anyone who has worked with her can feel that. Her acting style makes all actors, whether young or old, feel close, so everyone can get into character very easily. In the film “Cu De Danh”, I did not have many scenes with her, but I was still very impressed by her closeness and emotional life. Not only in Cu De Danh, but I also had the opportunity to work with her in the film “Diep Vu Thu Nhat” by director Nguyen Quang. It is worth mentioning that even though we did not film scenes together, we could still sit and talk to each other. She was always ready to support young actors, and at that time I was also very young and new to the profession” - actress Quach Thu Phuong confided.
