The little-known 'half' of People's Artist Thu Hien and People's Artist Trung Duc

People's Artist Thu Hien and People's Artist Trung Duc are a legendary duet of revolutionary music. Both have made many memorable marks in their careers and have a happy married life.

However, People's Artist Trung Duc and People's Artist Thu Hien are quite secretive in their private lives, so few people know about their other half - the solid support that contributes to their success.

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 pilot hero 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 relationship 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 the 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 back, my husband and I talk to each other."

Currently, she and her husband live in an apartment in Ho Chi Minh City. The children do not live with them but still visit and take care of their parents regularly. Occasionally, the whole family goes to do charity work together, helping and sharing with the unfortunate.

"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 contributed 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 her health does not allow it, mainly to help her miss her job less. 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 simply think life is about living with meaningful things.

People's Artist Trung Duc's wife is as beautiful as an actress

People's Artist Trung Duc's wife is named Pham Phuong, living on Ma May Street (Hanoi). She has the beauty of an actress. Even though she is in her twilight years, People's Artist Trung Duc's wife still impresses with her beautiful, youthful, and attractive appearance.

The two met, at first as friends, then they liked and fell in love. His wife was a very capable person, taking care of her husband and children every little thing, so he felt very secure going to sing in a far away province.

During the years they lived together, his wife and People's Artist Trung Duc overcame many life events, including two times when he was seriously ill. His wife and daughter took turns taking care of People's Artist Trung Duc when he fell from the bed to the floor while sleeping, which still left him with after-effects.

People's Artist Trung Duc said he was lucky to marry a beautiful and skillful wife. He and his wife have 4 children, 3 boys and 1 girl. His wife is the "treasurer", taking care of the whole family and internal and external affairs.

People's Artist Trung Duc's wife said that her husband loves her very much. He tries to buy her any gift she likes. Among them, the gift that the male artist's wife likes the most is the motorbike that he recently gave her:"I just need to ask to buy a motorbike and my husband will immediately pay for it. He will agree to buy anything. In general, he is very indulgent with his wife."At the age of over 70, the male artist is hesitant to say sweet words but never forgets to buy flowers and gifts on his other half's anniversaries and birthdays.

In particular, People's Artist Trung Duc still keeps the habit of running back to give money to his wife wherever he goes."Usually after a show or coming home from work, he runs to the door, takes off his shoes and says, "Here's the money, honey." He also gives me his salary, but I'm sure there's still a secret fund.", People's Artist Trung Duc's wife revealed.

Although her husband is admired by many people, his wife always trusts him and is never jealous. Therefore, the male artist can rest assured to sing far from home and strive for his music career.

In daily life, People's Artist Trung Duc and his wife almost never have conflicts or loud arguments because he always gives in to his wife or ignores her whenever she complains or shows an unpleasant attitude.

Currently, he and his wife live with their daughter and grandchildren on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street (Hanoi). If he is not performing in the provinces, he stays home to play with his grandchildren, chat with his wife and read books. At the age of 72, he still wakes up at 4am every day, has breakfast at 6am, has coffee with friends and practices his voice regularly.

I still practice singing regularly, more than 30 minutes a day without getting tired. My voice is good now, I can still hit high notes well, my friends are all surprised when they hear me sing. I think I sing better than when I was young...", People's Artist Trung Duc said.
