Binh Phuong performed a 49-day ceremony for Duc Tien, saying the reason for not going back to live with his biological parents

In May 2024, Vietnamese showbiz couldn't help but grieve the sudden death of actor Duc Tien at the age of 44 due to a heart attack. The actor is buried in a cemetery in the US.

By noon on July 7, singer Trizzie Phuong Trinh posted pictures of Duc Tien's 49-day worship ceremony. According to revelations, Binh Phuong - the late actor's wife wanted to organize according to traditional Vietnamese etiquette, so she asked for the help of many other artists.

Binh Phuong said that her health and spirit are stable, but it is inevitable that she will feel sorry for herself and be empty. Some people asked her why she didn't move back to Texas to gather with her birth parents, she said: "Mr. Tien is here, so my mother and daughter are not going anywhere. You and Cat will stay in California. I want Little Cat to be near my father so that I can visit his father every week."

Miss said that nearly 10 years ago, when she and her husband came to California, she said: "We came here to find opportunities to develop your work, but when the time comes to be close to my family, I should go back to Texas."

But Duc Tien refused, emphasizing that he wanted to stay to build a new life. Binh Phuong respects her husband's decision, so currently, she has no intention of leaving.

Binh Phuong said her relatives mainly live in Virginia and Texas. Currently, her parents have a restaurant and nail salon, but in the near future, her grandparents will retire and will often visit their grandchildren. The grandparents said that they tried to arrange to stay longer, encourage and support the life of the mother and daughter. This motivated Binh Phuong to raise her children alone after her husband died.

Currently, Binh Phuong's day starts earlier than usual because she has to pick up and drop off the Cat. Previously, Duc Tien took on this task because he had flexible working hours. After dropping her child off at school, Binh Phuong went to the company, waited for the end of her working shift, and visited her husband's grave to place flowers and change candles. She often lets her children visit her father's grave on weekends or whenever she says she remembers and wants to see her father.

Despite being busy, Binh Phuong tries to spend time playing with her children for about an hour after dinner. She didn't want her child to be depressed or feel empty when she didn't have her father by her side. However, the 5-year-old girl still often asks questions because of Duc Tien's absence from the house for too long. Binh Phuong is calmer about her children's questions, choosing a gentle explanation for her to gradually accept.

Economically, Binh Phuong said that she was under a lot of pressure after her husband's death but still managed. She feels lucky because she has a stable job and is used to spending thriftily, so she has not fallen into a state of crisis.

Living far from relatives, Binh Phuong relies on her husband's friends. She said that with just one message or call, a group of close friends with Duc Tien such as Trizzie Phuong Trinh, businessman Huong Nguyen, Michelle Hoang and many Vietnamese artists in the US will be present. Her close friends and colleagues also loved and worried about the widowed mother and orphan. They would occasionally visit or visit the house to see what the mother and daughter needed to help.

Binh Phuong said that even though Duc Tien is no longer there, he is always present, standing side by side with her and the little Cat. Therefore, she kept the room, furniture and memorabilia as it was to feel that her husband was always around. "The wallet is a gift I gave Mr. Tien 7 years ago, he always carried it with him, refusing to replace it even though it was old. Now I leave it on the altar, take it out for a long time to remember," she said.

Notably, the 49-day offering ceremony of actor Duc Tien coincided with the 4-year-old birthday of baby Cat. Despite her grief, Binh Phuong and many other artists still tried to smile to congratulate the boy on his birthday.

Seeing his mother crying, the cat asked him, wiped his mother's tears with a towel. Looking at Binh Phuong's mother and children, many people couldn't hold back their tears.

Singer Trizzie Phuong Trinh choked up and shared: "Tien, no one wants to believe that you are gone forever. Wherever you are, you have to be happy and happy. Everyone misses me very much. I remember my laughter and bustling voice every Tuesday night and remember the days when I stayed at the meeting after hours to cut fruit for everyone to eat. It's very sad, the uncles and brothers and sisters in the association had to comfort each other "Tien is going to a show far away, Tien will be back in a few days"."
