'Action Actress' Ly Huong: 8 years in tears and now at peace

Ly Huong was born and raised in a family with a tradition of art and martial arts. Ly Huong's father - the late People's Artist Ly Huynh - was also a famous martial artist, one of the first people to establish a private film studio after liberation and produced a series of blockbuster films in the 1990s and 2000s.

Like her brothers, Ly Huong learned martial arts at the age of 8. She started acting at a young age and became known as the first "female fighter" on the Vietnamese screen through action movies such as: "Phuong Mission", "Hong Hai Hiep", "International Wanted", "Plan 99"... The most recent action movie that Ly Huong participated in was "Giua Hai Boi Duc" by the late director Chau Hue.

Ly Huong is always "tailored" by directors for martial arts roles on screen.

Despite her beauty and talent, Ly Huong encountered many ups and downs in her personal life. At the prime of her life and career, Ly Huong decided to get married. But that marriage left Ly Huong in tears for 8 years, living far away from her children.

When her daughter turned 18, mother and daughter were reunited. About 2 years ago, she moved back to Vietnam to live with her mother and her maternal family.

Ly Huong revealed that since returning to Vietnam, her daughter has received many invitations to act in movies, but because her Vietnamese is not fluent, she wants her to spend more time learning about language and art. Currently, in addition to studying online at a university in the US, majoring in business administration, Ly Huong's daughter is taking an acting class with Kathy Uyen and many classes teaching life skills such as the art of public speaking...

The little girl inherited the artistic genes from her mother and her maternal family. Not only did she dance beautifully, Princess Lam also participated in music videos since she was young when she was studying in the US. "I want my child to be fully equipped with the skills and knowledge to become a perfect woman," Ly Huong said. For Ly Huong, this is the time when she is most happy and fulfilled. After the rain, the sky is bright again. After the storm, her life is completely peaceful with her family.

Ly Huong confided that her greatest luck was being born and raised in a large family that was always close-knit, loving and caring for each other. In particular, her parents and siblings were all people with great charity.

People's Artist Ly Huynh, when he was alive, enthusiastically helped friends and acquaintances around him who were in trouble. "I was the one my father trusted to keep his account, so I knew who he helped and who he gave it to. One person gave 10 million, another 20 million... but he never said anything. He always did it quietly," Ly Huong proudly said.

Even when her family was poor, Ly Huong's mother was always willing to borrow money to help others. Later, when she had the means and her children became successful, she became even more active in charity work across the country.

Because of being nurtured in such a family, Ly Huong is also very active in volunteer activities for the community. Currently, she is a member of the Standing Committee of the Thien Nhan Association for Supporting Poor Patients, the Ho Chi Minh City Association for Supporting Poor Patients and is the head of the association's art department.

No matter how busy she is, Ly Huong never refuses to participate in charity programs because it has been a family tradition for decades.

The family of the late People's Artist Ly Huynh was honored to receive the decision to award the Third Class Labor Medal for his contributions to social charity work on October 25.

Having gone through ups and downs and events, Ly Huong of today is still beautiful and radiant at the age of 45. Not only successful in the business field, Ly Huong also actively participates in entertainment activities as well as charity work, for the community following the family tradition of the past decades.

In 2023, Ly Huong was also honored to take calendar photos for the Vietnam Cinema Association - where People's Artist Ly Huynh has been associated for many years. "It is a great honor that not everyone can have," Ly Huong shared. /.
