9 years of 'salty taste' of Thuy Tien - Cong Vinh's love affair

People call the couple Thuy Tien - Cong Vinh the Beck - Vic of Vietnam. But behind that luxurious title is the bitter taste of tears.

In December 2008, the image of Thuy Tien appearing with Cong Vinh's sister at My Dinh Stadium during the match of the Vietnam team at the AFF Cup started the most famous love story in showbiz 9 years ago. The love story of Beck - Vic Vietnam was born from that.

Like Beckham, Cong Vinh is the most famous football player in Vietnam with a bright appearance on the football field. And like Vic, Thuy Tien is a famous singer with famous long legs and a cold demeanor. That coincidence makes their love story as noisy and criticized as the original version in the foggy country.

On August 21, 2009, one day before leaving for Portugal to compete, Cong Vinh made public his relationship with the long-legged singer. He confessed both sincerely and awkwardly: "Another special person that I miss and worry about day and night is my girlfriend Thuy Tien. Thuy Tien and I love each other. We are a couple, and as singer Phuong Thanh said, we are a match made in heaven."

"We are a couple that, as singer Phuong Thanh said, is a match made in heaven."

Unfortunately, most of Cong Vinh's fans at that time did not think so.

Cong Vinh's public declaration of his love for Thuy Tien has turned Thuy Tien into the most hated singer in Vietnam. Recently, in a program called After the Glory, people discovered that the reason Cong Vinh revealed his private feelings was because he was afraid that Thuy Tien would have an affair at home. At that time, people only thought that the naive football player was manipulated by the cunning singer in order to take advantage of his fame to become famous.

Many people even believe that it is simply a love contract to promote both of them.

Cong Vinh's public declaration of his love for Thuy Tien has turned Thuy Tien into the most hated singer in Vietnam.

God also teased people when Cong Vinh's career gradually declined since he "got involved" with Thuy Tien. The climax was when he suffered a serious injury that forced him to stop playing football for many months.

Fans even worried that Cong Vinh would be like Beckham, being stripped of football by Victoria and pushed into Hollywood, even willing to turn his back on his beloved teacher, Coach Alex Ferguson. Thuy Tien shed tears when talking about those days, the days when she was called "poisonous wormwood", a "bad omen" for Cong Vinh.

Thuy Tien was called "poisonous wormwood" and "bad omen" for Cong Vinh when the famous player's career went downhill.

It was not until November 4, 2011, when the couple's secret engagement photo in Kien Giang was leaked, that the love contract that the public had assumed for 3 years was removed. From here, the Vietnamese version of Beck - Vic's love story turned to a brighter new page.

They began to be seen as one of the most beautiful couples in showbiz. Especially when Cong Vinh's career flourished again and information about Thuy Tien owning a huge source of income from digital music copyrights of her self-composed songs was leaked. The public realized that Cong Vinh did not lose his form because of love, just as Thuy Tien did not become rich and famous because of Cong Vinh.

But that's just the surface information. No one knows what they really went through behind the public gossip.

At the time when she was considered Cong Vinh's "poison", accused of following Cong Vinh to dig for gold and become famous, Thuy Tien was so hurt that she wanted to quit her job. Besides Thuy Tien, no one knew that Cong Vinh was so famous, earning more than a hundred million VND per month with contracts worth nearly ten billion VND, but in fact, he had no money in his pocket.

Except for Thuy Tien, no one knows that Cong Vinh is so famous, earning more than a hundred million dong per month with contracts worth up to nearly ten billion, but in fact he has no money in his pocket.

No one knows. Because Cong Vinh is famous for being a model, obedient and thrifty in the football world. He doesn't gamble, doesn't party, and spends all his money on his family. But because he spends all his money on his family, he has no money left to take care of himself. Buying a house for his father, a car for his mother, opening a spa for his sister, supporting his sister's education... So, when his career was going downhill due to injuries, Cong Vinh didn't have any savings to protect himself. Let alone his own house and car.

Thuy Tien knew that, but still chose to stay with him. Cong Vinh was being treated abroad, Thuy Tien gave up all her contracts and hundred million dollar shows to fly to be with her boyfriend. Foreign expenses were expensive, both of them only dared to rent a cheap hotel with an area of ​​less than ten square meters and went to the market every day to cook with only a rice cooker.

"There was only one rice cooker, so after cooking rice, I had to wash the dishes to cook meat and soup in a room of a few square meters," that was Thuy Tien's memory of "romantic days in Europe".

When Cong Vinh struggled to revive his career, miserable with poverty and inferiority complex due to the feeling of a loser, he hurt Thuy Tien many times. But Thuy Tien still chose to stay by his side.

It was like that until Cong Vinh regained his glory, Thuy Tien gave birth to a daughter for him. And more than a year later, they got married, officially becoming husband and wife.

But the public has only just learned all of that. Before that, they thought Thuy Tien was persistently staying with Cong Vinh because of the billion-dollar contracts, the hundred-million-dollar salary, and the expensive gifts like gold-encrusted watches or luxury cars.

Many people still do not understand why Cong Vinh can be with Thuy Tien for the past 9 years without any scandalous love affairs like famous foreign players, or like domestic "football stars". It must be because they do not see what singer Phuong Thanh sees: they are truly a match made in heaven.

Both Cong Vinh and Thuy Tien are role models of talented children who have built successful careers thanks to their abilities, efforts and hard work. Thuy Tien, although once labeled a "bad girl", was only due to her sexy way of dressing and careless statements. In reality, she is one of the few long-legged models in showbiz who has not had any love scandals other than her love affair with her current husband.

Cong Vinh and Thuy Tien also have quite similar backgrounds. They were both born and raised in poverty, both suffered from the disadvantage of not being able to live in a family with enough love from their parents.

When they have the opportunity to earn money, both of them bring back their hard-earned income to show their gratitude and take care of their loved ones instead of spending it on showy things. Thuy Tien, although an A-list singer before accepting to gradually step back behind the scenes to take care of her family, has never flaunted her wealth, nor has she had the habit of wearing branded goods to show off her extravagant class.

More interestingly, although Thuy Tien often shows off the expensive gifts her husband gives her, she is actually the "rich one". Even though she hasn't performed much in the past 3 years, Thuy Tien is still a star with a huge income thanks to a fairly stable source of money from digital music copyrights.

Not to mention, as revealed by Cong Vinh, since the time of "contributing rice to cook rice together", all the money he has has been given to his girlfriend and now wife to manage. Even his spending is under Thuy Tien's supervision because the card he holds is under his wife's name.

The Vietnamese couple Beck - Vic are compatible in every way and share the same goals in almost all aspects of life. Not only do they work together, they also participate in charity activities, bringing money to help the poor. And Thuy Tien, when she became a member of Cong Vinh's family, did not hesitate to shoulder the burden of her husband's family.

When becoming a member of Cong Vinh's family, Thuy Tien did not hesitate to shoulder the burden of her husband's family.

Just like Vic is always ready to bristle to protect her famous husband when the public "points a knife", Thuy Tien always takes the right to speak up when Cong Vinh has problems with the public. The usually cold and quiet girl (so quiet that her mother-in-law when they first met thought her future daughter-in-law looked down on people) becomes talkative, sharp, and even a bit hasty whenever her man is touched by someone.

From big issues related to football to small issues related to her sister-in-law, Thuy Tien always comes out to protect Cong Vinh. So it is not surprising that the handsome football star is willing to "put his wife first", accepting to be the "bullied" one in the family.

"I will always suffer losses to make my wife happy!", Cong Vinh said.

People say Thuy Tien is lucky. Then when they learn that Thuy Tien experienced childhood violence and abuse, they say that Thuy Tien is rewarded by God. But in fact, the sweet fruit today in the Thuy Tien - Cong Vinh family is not entirely due to God's will. It is simply the happiness distilled from salty tears during the years of love, swallowing the bitterness and not being able to share with anyone, only knowing how to quietly take care of each other, quietly support each other, quietly help each other achieve the goals of life.

And of course, the peaceful life of Thuy Tien - Cong Vinh couple in the white villa today was built from the long days together using a rice cooker to cook rice and braise meat in a hotel room of less than 10 square meters in a foreign land that year.
