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 Number, That Day by the Lam River, That Day by the Vu Dai Village...

However, the role of Mrs. Vi in the TV series “Cua de danh” by Meritorious Artist Hoang Yen left the most impression and brought 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 hard 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. As a golden generation of Vietnamese revolutionary cinema, 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 gone, Mom? I acted in several 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 have lost a mother, a respected artist. I will no longer be able to voice 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. "One thing that impressed me about Ms. Yen is her elegant demeanor, typical of a Hanoi woman. When there is something unsatisfactory, she always gently reminds her but never shows her attitude. The actors are mostly 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 her lines because at that time, she still made the film and reminded the actors of their lines" - director Do Thanh Hai shared.

Co-starring in the film “Cua De Danh”, the thing that 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 old or young, feel close, so everyone can get into character very easily. In the film “Cua 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 “Cua De Danh”, 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.
