People's Artist Thu Hien's husband is a hero pilot
People's Artist Thu Hien's husband is Armed Forces Hero Vu Ngoc Dinh. Mr. Vu Ngoc Dinh is a wartime hero pilot with the achievement of shooting down 6 American planes in 1970. He is 12 years older than the female artist.

Despite being famous, People's Artist Thu Hien keeps her private life private and unobtrusive. In a rare conversation with the press about her other half, People's Artist Thu Hien said that she loves and is attached to her husband because of his simple lifestyle, understanding and sharing. In addition to the love between husband and wife, the two are also friends, comrades and teammates.
Recalling the years living apart, artist Thu Hien said:"In our time, the only way to communicate with each other was through letters. In the letters, since we were husband and wife, how could we write about love scenes, especially when I often sang songs about people, love for homeland, country... I did not express all my feelings in words but through the songs and melodies that I performed."
Artist Thu Hien said she is lucky to have her husband respect and support her in her work. She confided: "My husband is 12 years older than me and is now retired so he just stays at home, so he is very sympathetic to his wife. When I go on tour, there is someone at home to take care of him. Whenever I come home, we talk together."

Currently, she and her husband live in an apartment in Ho Chi Minh City. The children do not live with them, but they still visit and take care of their parents regularly. Occasionally, the whole family goes to charity work together, helping and sharing with the less fortunate.
"I like to do charity, within my ability. Every time I sing, I save a little to help those in more difficult circumstances than me. My two daughters and I contribute money to build charity houses in the West... The amount of money is not large compared to many people, but it is the effort of the three of us."People's Artist Thu Hien shared with VTC News.
At the age of 72, People's Artist Thu Hien still sings but not as often because of her health, mainly to avoid missing her profession. Besides performing, People's Artist Thu Hien also spends a lot of time teaching vocal music. She hopes to pass on her experience and passion for the profession to the next generations.
Sharing about her current life, People's Artist Thu Hien said she is very satisfied and has nothing to worry about:"At my age, people rest, but I rest with permission. I want to exercise and work. I still sing and teach singing, pass on my experience and energy to the younger generation. I think life is simply about living with meaningful things.
