Dau Kieu: The shampooer is expected to become the emperor, marry the son of the casino king, and have a bitter ending

Coming from a difficult and poor family, in the eyes of many people, when Dau Kieu openly fell in love with Ha Sieu Lien, he was just a "greedy person" trying to break into the upper class, nothing more, nothing less.

In the past few days, the Chinese-language entertainment world has been stirred by the information that Dau Kieu and Ha Sieu Lien - the daughter of the "casino king" Ha Hong San - are on the verge of breaking up. The romantic relationship that was once likened to a real-life romance movie between the male screen god and the proud lady showed signs of falling apart right after the wedding took place 2 years ago.

The suspicion of the couple's breakdown made many people negative, especially when Dau Kieu is said to have spent more than 218 billion in savings to organize a dream wedding with his lover in Bali (Indonesia). Those who thought he could marry the casino gir.l would 1 step into the clouds, living a new life as a proud groom. Unexpectedly, the actor was bitterly disillusioned.

Dau Kieu's poor family background and humble background

Dau Kieu, born in 1988, in China. Few people know, before becoming a sought-after screen god, he had a struggling youth after following his parents to settle in Canada. In a foreign land, the actor who was born was financially exhausted after all the mone.y he had accumulated to start a new life was robbed. The incident caused them to fall from the middle class to a low-income family.

At the ag.e of 16, Dau Kieu began to go out to work to support his parents. He works enough jobs to have mone.y to pay for his life and pay tuition fees. At one time, the young man worked up to 3 jobs at the same time, such as a kitchen assistant, a shampooer - hairstylist, an electrician until his health deteriorated but he still couldn't live enough.

At the ag.e of 19, Dau Kieu registered for a talent search contest organized by a Chinese television station in Canada and won the Champion Awar.d. From here, he chose a new path to change his life, which was to return to China, study at the Beijing Film Academy and look for opportunities in artistic activities.

But Dau Kieu's student life is also not easy. He always skips breakfast and dinner and only dares to eat a bowl of vermicelli soup for 6 yuan (more than 21,000 VND) at noon, trying to balance a small amount of mone.y to continue studying. According to the actor, he is so miserable that eating is also a big economic burden.

Accepting to trade a career to win the favor of a casino gir.l

In the 2nd year of university, Dau Kieu had the opportunity to change his life. Thanks to his solid appearance and different masculinity, he caught the eye of Truong Nghe Mu when he was looking for the main role for the project "Hawthorn Love Story". The director revealed that he loved the 8X actor's unsorrowful temperament and sunny smile from the first time they met.

"Dau Kieu doesn't need me to say much when he only teaches acting. He is also very good, tell him to do anything. The longer he stays with Du Qiao, the more people will appreciate his person," Truong Yimou commented.

Thanks to the "Hawthorn Tree Love Story", Du Qiao won many awards.g such as Potential Actor of the Tencent Star Awards, the Most Commercial Actor of the China Film Industry Festival. From here, he became a name that was noticed, sought after by many filmmakers in showbiz.

Dau Kieu's efforts and professionalism made the directors praise. When participating in the "Seal of Love" project, he spent 6 hours a day learning Russian. The Russian lecture segments that appear in the work are all vowels of the actor.

In 2016, Dau Kieu received the Best Actor awar.d at the 11th Du Chinois De Paris Film Festival for his role in the movie "Dinner for Six People". After that, the actor continued to make his mark in the films So Kieu Story, Yen Van Dai... And is hoped to become the future Emperor, a new generation of talent of the Chinese screen.

Trying to break into the elite

There is a high starting point, but Dau Kieu's career is going down over time, especially after publicly dating Ha Sieu Lien in 2019. The media even said that the reason the actor could not shine was because he was busy in love.

If you follow Dau Kieu's personal page, the audience will see that he often shows off images of traveling, climbing, surfing or attending high-class parties with Ha Sieu Lien instead of taking on new projects. Absent from the big screen and in addition, the TV work did not achieve the desired success, over time when it came to the 8X actor, the audience only remembered the love story between him and his daughter Ha Hong San.

In order to be able to integrate into her lover's world, Dau Kieu is said to have accepted to "sacrifice" herself: reducing artistic activities, limiting filming, appearing less at entertainment events and even moving to Hong Kong to live with her "other half". Fans regret that the actor is highly appreciated for his talent but does not devote more effort to his career.

In 2019, Dau Kieu only had one debut work, "10 years, 3 months and 30 days". In 2020, he participated in the project "Beautiful scenery of Happy Days" but the broadcast date was delayed. Therefore, the name gradually faded in the eyes of the public.

The marriage broke down right after the wedding day, disillusionment

After the wedding in Bali (Indonesia) in April 2023, Dau Kieu - Ha Sieu Lien's relationship was not normal. A few months after the wedding, the casino tycoon's daughter returned to her mother's house in Hong Kong, while the 8X actor lived in the Mainland. Since then, the couple has no longer posted romantic moments together.

Ha Sieu Lien did not visit, and Dau Kieu was also absent from his mother-in-law's birthday party, did not attend the ceremony to visit his father-in-law's grave and commercial events of the Ha family. Notably, after entering 2025, the media discovered that the couple did not appear at all, did not interact with each other on social media.

Especially on May 8, Ha Sieu Lien held a New Year's Eve party in Hong Kong, inviting many close friends to join in the fun, but Dau Kieu was unusually absent. Although after that, the actor quickly saved the situation by wishing his wife and daughter a happy birthday, Ha Hong San also responded with a heart icon, but many people are still skeptical about the relationship between the two.

On social media, entertainment bloggers said that Dau Kieu's status in the Ha family is very low, far behind supermodel Clown Mong Dao - the wife of young master Ha Du Quan. He is not allowed to publicly attend elite events with his wife's family or engage in any business activities.

Dau Kieu's marriage with Ha Sieu Lien is considered "famous without a piece". Not only was he rejected by his wife's family, if he divorced, the actor was also not allowed to divide his property because he did not have a marriage certificate and even lost 218 billion VND - the savings spent to organize a wedding in Bali. With the current obvious signs of cracking, the media thinks that sooner or later the couple will announce the termination of the marriage.
