In the memories of many generations of audiences, when it comes to the most brilliant period of Vietnamese cinema in the 80s–90s, the name Ly Hung is almost an irreplaceable symbol. Born in Vinh Long, he stepped onto the screen with a pompous appearance, a handsome face and a bold demeanor of a Western actor, quickly winning the public's affection. Not only famous for his appearance, Ly Hung also created an unprecedented milestone in terms of salary, when receiving a remuneration of up to 60 gold trees for each episode, thereby being recorded as the actor with the highest salary in Vietnam at that time.

At its peak, Ly Hung's work schedule was almost tight, with no concept of rest. Every year, he participates in a series of large and small projects, many movies when converted to the current gold price is equivalent to about 2 billion VND. This shows the special attraction of the name Ly Hung to the commercial film market at that time, when just his appearance was enough to guarantee box office revenue.

In the late 80s and early 90s, when the market boomed strongly, Ly Hung became the first choice of producers. He made a deep impression through many different roles, from the love boy in "Pham Cong – Cuc Hoa", the hero of the scepter in "Tay Son Hao Kiet", to the image of a gentle student in "Tears of a student". His persistence and diversity in acting help him own more than 60 leading roles out of a total of nearly 100 films – a rare number in the history of Vietnamese cinema.

Not stopping at romantic films or domestic dramas, Ly Hung also expanded his activities to the field of action films and cooperated with Hong Kong (China) crews. He participated in many projects such as "Red Pirates", "Plan 99", "Special Zone Police", contributing to bringing the image of Vietnamese actors closer to regional audiences.
