The audience gave that name to themselves, from then on, every drama role was Bo. Bo, but I added the word Hoang after it because that's my name," she said.

In the past, they sang it differently. But now the way of singing is different. They like that idol, imitating the same song. In the past, there was no, whose breath, whose voice is unique, no one wants to take it from anyone. Whose name is it? No matter how parents were born, when they sing and become famous, they still have that name, they don't change, they rarely take a stage name."

It's not true. But I love it, so I don't care, if it's hard, I'll bear it. In fact, it's really hard. Reviving my children, I crave soy sauce but dare not buy, let money buy rice... I struggled with life. live, sick and decline like an addict".

Sometimes I feel very happy, sometimes I feel happier than a giant. I'm proud to say that. We don't need anything in the life of a human being now, because we don't know enough, but like me, I find it too much and too happy. I don't have a disease in me, I don't owe money, I just owe the audience's love," she confided.

In fact, in the Cai Luong village, there are many artists who also fall into the same situation. Like the case of talented reformed artist Bach Long - brother of Meritorious Artist Thanh Loc. At the age of U70, he still had to live in a rented house, two meals were rice and porridge at the market.

I love it then it will fall in love. As I see I love my job so much that my job is loving me, giving me peace in life. It's important to live well, live properly, ethically, with a good mind. I will meet good people they will guide me. If I live without morality, no matter how brilliant it is, it will be extinguished."
