Audience surrounded Hoai Linh at the ancestral temple on Tet holiday

During the three days of Tet, Hoai Linh’s theater ancestor temple in Long Phuoc Ward, District 9, Ho Chi Minh City is always crowded with visitors. In the photos shared by actress Cat Phuong on her personal page, the comedian is wearing a traditional Vietnamese dress and smiling while taking photos with the audience on the morning of the first day (January 28).

The male artist shook hands with an elderly audience member.

Many people traveled from the provinces to Ho Chi Minh City to see Hoai Linh in real life.

Hoai Linh sat on the steps of the ancestral temple to talk to elderly audiences.

Having just recovered from his illness, the comedian still smiled, took photos, and interacted with everyone. "Looking at him, he looked haggard and exhausted, but I knew he was very happy inside. He was exhausted from lack of sleep but never said the word 'tired'. That's Hoai Linh," Cat Phuong shared. After fulfilling his wish to build a theater ancestral temple in September 2016, the Meritorious Artist has been busy performing and making movies.
