The miserable childhood of comedians Van Dung, Chien Thang, Quang Thang

Comedian Chien Thang once caused emotion when he said that starting from 7th grade, he had to work extra, carrying bricks for hire to help his family earn money, and many times he fell into a situation where he had no money left in his pocket.

“I remember, when I went to apply for a job, I only had a broken bicycle, which often had flat rims. I had to get off and hit the wheel to continue riding. In comedies, people call it “riding on… faith,” Chien Thang said, choking up.

Now Victory has a villa and a car to drive.

Understanding his own difficult situation, the male comedian at that time encouraged himself, thinking that since no one could help him, he had to rise up on his own. Then, overcoming many difficulties and hardships, the poor boy of that year has now suddenly become a famous comedian with a salary of up to hundreds of millions of VND/day.

Story of life in a 6m house²Comedian Van Dung's dilapidated house by Hoang Cau Lake (Hanoi) surprised many people. According to her, in the house or more precisely in the room at that time, there was only a 1.6m bed which was also the study table of her and her sister. In addition, there was also an oil stove, a pot, a pan and a bicycle.

Every time it rains, the house becomes a pool of water up to the knees, causing pots and pans to float. The female comedian was moved to tears as she said she will never forget the poor Tet in the 6m house.²when the whole family had to crawl under the mosquito net to eat because there were too many mosquitoes because the house was converted from a damp warehouse and surrounded by bushes and grass.

“Many people don’t have rice to eat, but I have rice to eat. Although there is no meat, I pour milk and sugar on it. My parents work in the army so they get milk distribution. I think that makes them happier and more fortunate than many people,” Van Dung recounted.

Despite her difficult childhood, the female artist always has a positive and optimistic outlook on the past difficult days. She is grateful for those days because they helped her overcome difficulties and become the strong Van Dung she is today.

And before becoming a famous comedian, few people know that Quang Thang once had a hard time working as a busboy, porter, and hired delivery man from Hai Phong to Hanoi to earn extra money.

Before that, 'Economic God' also worked for a family in the Hai Phong drama troupe, with his daily job being to take clothes from Hai Phong to Dong Xuan market to sell, then take a bus back to Hai Phong at night to perform. However, this job did not last long because orders became fewer and fewer and income became less and less.

Up to now, Quang Thang has had a prosperous life and is completely different from before.

Life was so hard that there was a time when Quang Thang wanted to quit his job and become a businessman. He regretted pursuing an acting career, but because he loved the stage lights so much, he forced himself to continue.

Quang Thang will never forget those difficult days. Now when he looks back, he silently thanks those years for forging the strong-willed and courageous Quang Thang like today.
