The regret of People's Artist Ha Vy - mother of famous female MC VTV

-The People's Artist title you just received must be very memorable?

The title of People's Artist is a source of pride and is worthy of the artists' contributions. I am honored and proud of what I have done. Of course, there are many artists who have not been fortunate enough to receive the title, but I believe that the audience's perception and evaluation are the most objective and accurate.

-You came to art when you were only 16 years old and your first teacher must have had a lot of influence?

That’s right. The first teacher who taught me to recite poetry was the late People’s Artist Tran Thi Tuyet. It was the first time I heard her recite clearly and with full emotion. Until now, I still remember her voice clearly, from the way she chanted, the way she pronounced the words, especially the following lines:Oh majestic Fatherland/ Heroic land of the 20th century/ Be proud on the front line against America/ There is the wonderful heroic South".

At that moment, the sound of poetry seemed to penetrate and seep into my blood and flesh. My love for poetry was ignited from there. Music and poetry always flowed through me, like blood running through my body!

- What are your memorable memories of your early days in the profession?

I was recruited by the late People's Artist Le Doa of the Armed Police Art Troupe. That was when I was singing at a conference of the Trading Cooperative, and at that time, speakers were hung on electric poles and tree branches at the alley entrance. They heard my voice and recruited me into the Armed Police Art Troupe.

At that time, I was surprised, happy and felt extremely lucky because I always longed and wished to sing to be recorded on the radio and broadcast everywhere. At that time, I was passionate about listening to artists like Tuyet Thanh, Bich Lien, Tuyet Nhung, Tran Thi Tuyet, Chau Loan…

- You have won many prestigious awards as well as the love of the audience, is there anything that People's Artist Ha Vy regrets?

When I was recruited to join the Armed Police Art Troupe, I was a girl from the countryside who sang instinctively. Before that, I had only attended a one-week training course organized by the Hai Phong Department of Culture and Sports. In our time, we learned Russian and French but very little, just enough to sing a few songs. It would have been better if we had learned more foreign languages.

- People's Artist Ha Vy is often mentioned by the audience as a soldier who sings with all her heart, her voice transcending borders. Surely you have had to sacrifice a lot of family work and taking care of your children for your business trips?

Remembering the story of being away from my children on business trips, I can’t help but feel sad. Once, my husband and I were on a business trip to Tay Ninh for 4 and a half months. At that time, Ly, my second daughter, was not yet 2 years old. I had to send her to her grandparents.

When I came home, my daughter kept hugging her grandmother’s neck, looking back at the picture hanging on the wall and then at me because she didn’t recognize her mother. Seeing her with boils all over her body because of the heat, I felt so sorry for her, I had to hold back my tears. Many times I felt weak and wanted to quit my job because I wanted to spend time with my family.

-MC Hoang Trang- host of famous VTV programs such as: Cultural rendezvous, Time memories, Knock on the new day, End of year afternoon, Happy lunch and Proud melody... shares her pride in being her daughter. Have you ever had any expectations or set any goals for MC Hoang Trang?

I am lucky to have a husband and children who always support and stand by my side at every moment. Trang has been loved by everyone since she was little because she is quick, hard-working and intelligent. At the age of 5, she could imitate foreign songs, she could not pronounce the words but her tone was very standard. When she grew up, when she followed music competitions, people also commented that she looked very much like me. However, it is true that the profession chooses the person. I am happy that my child found the right passion and is always dedicated to it.

- Busy with work, but in the eyes of her children, People's Artist Ha Vy is a woman who is good at cooking and housework?

I am a traditional woman. I am a workaholic and cannot stand idleness.

Partly because I am blessed with perseverance, partly because the soldier in me does not allow me to falter, always optimistic and ready in all circumstances. In addition, just seeing people enjoying the delicious dishes I cook makes me very happy.

Only when my children are happy can I feel comfortable.

-MC Hoang Trang's daughter shared that she has never seen her stop working and feels like if she has too much free time, she will get sick?

I am quite meticulous, careful and meticulous. Now that I have grandchildren, I am still the same. Sometimes people around me say: “The crabs are the ones who run, the mussels are the ones who dig”, but in reality, it is not that I spoil my children, but that I want to share. Only when my children are happy and joyful can I feel at ease.

- What do you think about the current generation of young singers when some singers are not really highly appreciated for their voices but become famous quickly?

Nowadays, the diverse development of music genres creates many opportunities for young people. With folk music, revolutionary music, competitions like Sao Mai have brought voices like Tung Duong, Ngoc Khue that I am very passionate about. I think ability and love for music are the factors that help singers gain a long-term position in the hearts of the audience because it is not easy to reach success.

- According to People's Artist Ha Vy, how can we make the young generation love and nurture their love for revolutionary and traditional music?

In music competitions, revolutionary music, traditional music has never been forgotten, on the contrary, it is mash-up, flexibly transformed and brought its own color. I always hope that young singers, the younger generation understand the origin and be proud of the history and music of our country.
