Vietnamese artists and fans speak out together when Quyen Linh wants to quit showbiz

After Quyen Linh announced that he wanted to temporarily stop all activities in the entertainment industry due to being too bored and tired of being increasingly misunderstood and criticized by the public, many artists and fans shared surprising things to encourage and support Quyen Linh to continue on the path he has dedicated himself to.

On social networks, fans continuously commented to express sympathy and encouragement for Quyen Linh. In particular, a fan who was once grateful to him wrote: “I am grateful to Quyen Linh all my life. Quyen Linh and Sy Ho are like living Bodhisattvas who saved me and my family from debt thanks to the program “Overcoming Yourself”. Please think carefully about your words and actions and do not hurt these two people. Millions of hearts are always with you, encourage you, cheer up Linh”. Or another person wrote: “To be honest! If you stop doing the program, you will be guilty towards the poor workers! Because of you as a bridge, for nearly 20 years, so many families have been freed from poverty! Keep trying, nothing is impossible! Wish you good health and happiness and do not abandon the poor workers!”…

Meritorious Artist Trinh Kim Chi expressed that without Quyen Linh, there would be many more difficult situations that would not receive dedicated help. The female artist revealed that she used to host a program with Quyen Linh and knew that the salary for each program he received was not much, but he still hosted it because he loved his job and lived his life for it. "The more the program is about the poor, the more enthusiastic Quyen Linh is, not only that, Linh also used his own money to support the character. Kim Chi hopes that Quyen Linh will not pay attention to those small problems but continue to do the program, because the image of a simple, honest Quyen Linh is already associated with the poor people."

Meanwhile, Meritorious Artist Hanh Thuy emotionally said that if Quyen Linh no longer hosts the program, who will be the bridge between those in difficult circumstances and those who will be the ones to call for help for those unfortunate lives? Because there are so many game shows and programs nowadays, no one pays attention to programs for the poor anymore. Like the program "Opening the Future" where Quyen Linh no longer hosts, what will happen to those who are sick, in difficult circumstances, and poor children? "Therefore, Hanh Thuy hopes that Quyen Linh will reconsider, not only Hanh Thuy but also many other audiences who have always followed Linh and supported Linh."

On his personal Facebook, Meritorious Artist Lan Bich said that he has always considered Quyen Linh a talented, enthusiastic and courageous younger brother in community work. “It is not easy for Quyen Linh to give up the work that comes from his heart, the great and precious work for the poor community in remote areas that he has wholeheartedly devoted himself to for decades. I have witnessed with my own eyes the great things he has done. Having a compassionate heart and caring for the community is rare, but artist Quyen Linh also has a great ability: he has the power to spread, to combine compassionate hearts to join hands, to contribute concrete contributions to places that need help the most. Therefore, it can be said that with his heart, Quyen Linh has known how to multiply into numbers, great humanitarian works, and has the power to help the community in the most concrete and practical way. Many people have talked about Linh's work, the hardships and spirit when coming to difficult lives, I do not need to mention more,” he said.

However, he believes that Quyen Linh cannot abandon his work because of a few inconsiderate comments. “Remember the expectant eyes of the people and the children in remote areas, the people with serious illnesses who are eagerly waiting for us. Quyen Linh! Stand up and move on,” artist Lan Bich advised Quyen Linh.

As for director Sy Ho, as a junior, a colleague, and the director of the program "Overcoming Yourself" who has collaborated with Quyen Linh for the past 13 years, Sy Ho said that he understands this honest man very well. Especially with the program "Overcoming Yourself", Quyen Linh seems to have poured his heart and soul into it. He has spent almost his entire youth working with difficult situations across the country. But after most of his trips, he did not bring any remuneration home, and he gave all the money he had to the poor. "He is very tactful about giving money, always saying that the audience watching the program saw that his family was in such difficulty, so he asked Quyen Linh to give this money to his family. He also suggested to me to add Quyen Linh's own money to the withdrawal table to give his family enough capital to develop the family economy," the director said.

Finally, Sy Ho, as if speaking for many fellow artists and millions of audiences nationwide, wrote: “Quyen Linh once said, “We do the program not for money or fame, but simply because we feel the warmth and happiness in the places we have been to!”… Quyen Linh’s love for the poor is immense and endless. I think that in showbiz, only Quyen Linh is so hard-working and imbued with such love for the poor… I and those who have collaborated with him in many charity programs hope that he will continue to move forward, because everyone knows that he is a solid bridge to connect golden hearts to help those in need… Anh Linh, in those remote areas, there are still many families waiting for you… Don’t stop, millions of hearts are still with you.”
