The truth about the photo of artist Thuong Tin sitting absent-mindedly at the foot of the overpass

Social networks are spreading two photos of artist Thuong Tin sitting absent-mindedly at the foot of Hoang Hoa Tham overpass (Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City). A passerby took this photo and shared his feelings about the fate of an artist in his twilight years.

Musician To Hieu - the person who adopted artist Thuong Tin said that the incident happened 2 weeks ago. Thuong Tin had some personal matters to attend to so he drove his motorbike by himself. When he reached the Hoang Hoa Tham overpass, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell down on the road.

Afterwards, Thuong Tin was taken to a nearby hotel to rest, and his motorbike was taken for repair. When he calmed down, he called To Hieu to inform him and was picked up to go home.

Musician To Hieu wanted to take Thuong Tin to the hospital for a health check, but he refused because he thought it was just a scratch and did not need further examination.

The photo of artist Thuong Tin sitting on the side of the road caused a stir.

"Luckily, when he fell off his bike, he didn't have any serious accidents. I suspected that he was feeling dizzy due to a stroke and wanted to check him further, but he didn't want to go to the hospital," To Hieu said.

The musician added that Thuong Tin is still living at his house, unlike rumors that he "ran away and wandered". The artist eats and sleeps well, and has adapted to the communal lifestyle. In his free time, he takes advantage of it to visit acquaintances and old friends.

To Hieu said: "Once, I asked him if he was bored here and wanted to move somewhere else. He said he really liked it here, didn't want to go anywhere else and "had nowhere else to go". Besides money for food and coffee, he didn't spend much. When I agreed to help him, I had the responsibility to take good care of him."

To Hieu also takes on the responsibility of connecting and managing work for artist Thuong Tin. He is often invited to sing at weddings, with a salary of about 5 million VND.
