The cast of the movie 'Hanoi People' after 20 years

"Nguoi Hanoi" (released in 1996) is a three-episode TV series directed by Hoang Tich Chi and Doan Le. The film is set in the military district in the early years of renovation (late 1980s, early 1990s), revolving around the daily lives of soldiers returning from war. The couple Nam (Hong Son) and Thao (Le Khanh) are two of the central characters of the film. After experiencing comradeship and friendship during the war, returning to peacetime, they became husband and wife. However, the impact of the market economy caused their simple happiness to fall apart. The breakup of the Nam - Thao couple is considered a typical example of many Vietnamese civil servant families in the early years of renovation.

People's Artist Le Khanh plays Thao - a woman with a gentle appearance but a fierce inner life. She starred in the movie "Nguoi Ha Noi" at the age of 33, when she was a bright face of the Northern theater stage. After that, the actress appeared in many outstanding movies such as "Mua he chieu thang thang", "Chiec mat da nguoi"... At the age of over 50, Le Khanh limited her performing activities and focused on teaching and acting instruction for actors of the Youth Theater. Soon, she will return to the big screen in a new movie.

Actor Hong Son plays Nam - an officer specializing in design and measurement. Nam likes a stable life while Thao - his wife - wants a prosperous and dynamic life. Conflicting views on life and external influences cause them to break up. Nam is the one who takes care of their daughter. After his role in "Nguoi Ha Noi", Hong Son participated in a few other films and then entered a drug rehabilitation camp. Since 2003, after leaving the camp, he has participated in many famous political films such as "Gio Lang Kinh", "Ghost Village", "Chairman of the Province"... In 2008, Hong Son's health gradually weakened after an accident. He passed away on August 13, 2011 after a stroke.

One of the faces that left an impression in the film is Meritorious Artist Anh Dung. He plays Du - a soldier who returns from the war to make a living by long-distance trading trips. Du is the one who puts Lam (Quyen Linh) on the path of economic business to escape poverty. Before participating in "Nguoi Hanoi", Anh Dung was known as a famous drama actor on stage and in many movies such as "Co gai tren song" (Girl on the River), "Ky niem doi trang" (Moon Hill Memories). After "Nguoi Hanoi", Anh Dung returned to the small screen with the role of a father in the long-running movie "Vet nang cuoi troi". The artist rarely acted in movies but focused on writing scripts. He passed away on April 30, 2015 after going through a series of sad and sorrowful days in the last years of his life.

The role of talented, gallant, profound director Binh, but dissatisfied with the times, was given to Hue Dan - an actor of the Army Drama Theater. With his angular face, he transformed into all kinds of roles such as bandits, wounded soldiers, workers, traders, journalists... in many TV series such as "Those who live around me", "Heaven on high", "The childless woman"... The actor's face clearly shows the traces of time after 20 years of participating in the film. For many years now, he has limited his acting to focus on treating lung cancer.

The role of Lam in "Nguoi Hanoi" marked a resounding success in Quyen Linh's acting. Lam is a soldier returning from the war, rejected by his family, and forced to live on the sidewalks of the military street. After many months of hardship, he became the director of a sugar factory. Lam has a rough and rude appearance but is very emotional and responsible towards his wife, children, friends, and teammates. After the film, Quyen Linh continuously made his mark in the films "Dong tien xuong mau", "Nhung duong duong phu sa", "Gio qua mien dark and bright"... He is currently a popular MC of many television programs. Quyen Linh is also a beloved artist for his sincerity, simplicity, and contributions to the community.

Paired with Quyen Linh is Meritorious Artist Minh Hang. She plays the role of a rustic wife who loves her husband, but only knows how to be patient and resigned. Minh Hang started out as a stage actress. After the movie "Nguoi Ha Noi", she became familiar to small screen audiences as a mean, shrewish but vulnerable woman. She is also a familiar face in the Tao Quan program broadcast on television at the beginning of the year. 20 years after "Nguoi Ha Noi", the actress is still active on stage and in television thanks to her diverse transformation ability.

Artist Dieu Thuan appeared in a small role in the film. She played the wife of police officer Dat (played by Quoc Tri) - a woman who neglected her husband and children in pursuit of material things. In the 1980s, Dieu Thuan's beauty shone on the screen when she played the role of country girls in "That Day by the Lam River", "Return to Sam Sao"... The character in the film "Nguoi Ha Noi" is one of the artist's rare negative roles. After this film, she transformed into resigned, patient women in many TV series such as "Mua la roi", "Dan troi"... At the age of over 60, Dieu Thuan rarely participates in acting but only enjoys her old age with her children and grandchildren.

The movie "Nguoi Hanoi" shows the charming beauty of Meritorious Artist Thanh Quy at the age of 39. She plays the role of Diem - a woman who is sensitive to current events and quickly becomes rich thanks to her wisdom and ingenuity. Before that, Thanh Quy was known for participating in many movies such as "Chuyen xe bao tap", "Chuyen tinh ben dong song"... After "Nguoi Hanoi", Thanh Quy made her mark acting in many TV series such as "Mua la roi", "Ban mai xanh", "Luat doi", "Nhat ky Vang Anh"... At the age of nearly 60, the artist finds joy with her children and grandchildren after two troubled marriages.

Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan plays a Vietnamese expatriate returning home in the film. The character's appearance makes her look older than her 29 years of age. Before that, Chieu Xuan was famous for her role in the film "My Mother-in-law". After "Nguoi Ha Noi", the artist pursued characters with a style completely different from the image of a patient, self-sacrificing woman she had played. At nearly 50 years old, the actress enjoys a fulfilling life as a successful and happy woman.

Meritorious Artist Manh Cuong participated in the film "Nguoi Ha Noi" when he was 36 years old. He played the role of Hung - a gallant, elegant overseas Vietnamese who made Thao - Nam's wife - infatuated and pursued. The artist grew up in the military arts environment. He is familiar to small screen audiences as a worldly, talented, charming man who often stirs the hearts of women with strong personalities. At the age of over 50, Manh Cuong has limited his acting to focus on management work.
