Artist Cong Tai passed away, son revealed the cause, similar to Quy Binh in 1 point

The Vietnamese Cai Luong stage has just received sad news when artist Cong Tai, a gentle father and familiar face in many plays, passed away at 6:45 p.m. on July 16, 2025 at his home.

The news of the passing of artist Cong Tai was shared by his son, artist Bui Cong Danh – who was widely known from the program "Sao Noi Ngoi" – with endless emotion and sorrow. "This is the greatest pain in my life", he choked.

A lifelong journey for art and family

Artist Cong Tai was born in 1954. Growing up in the golden age of Southern Cai Luong, he is a name that has been associated for many years with Tran Huu Trang Theater - one of the cradles of Cai Luong art. Here, Cong Tai affirmed his position with the roles of fathers and uncles - gentle, tolerant, and full of confidences. His thin figure, warm voice, sad eyes and natural demeanor have become an unforgettable mark in the hearts of the audience.

Meritorious Artist Linh Trung confided about his outstanding role: "Cong Tai was an artist who worked in the R war zone and was one of the first to appear at Tran Huu Trang Opera House. He played many good roles because of his warm and emotional voice. The role that the audience remembers most is the role of PO LE in the play 'Nang Xe Da' in 1990. His passing left much regret for his fellow artists and the audience."

The pain of losing a father and the spirit of silent dedication

Above all, artist Cong Tai is also an exemplary father, not only in his roles but also in real life. This is most clearly shown through the journey of following and silently guiding his son, Bui Cong Danh, to the acting profession.

In 2021, in the reality TV show "Sao Noi Ngoi", artist Cong Tai first appeared on the television stage as a father who always supported his son's career. Those simple but emotional moments touched the hearts of the audience.

According to Bui Cong Danh, his father was diagnosed with liver cancer in November 2024. Despite the dedicated treatment of specialists, his condition became more and more serious and he passed away at the age of 72.

Bui Cong Danh added that throughout the past time, his father kept the information about his illness a secret from his friends and colleagues because he did not want people to worry about him. During the treatment process, despite the torment of his illness, the artist still missed his job, missed his movies, missed the stage, but his health did not allow him to continue standing on stage.

This spirit of silent dedication is reminiscent of the case of many other artists, such as actor Quy Binh, who also kept information about his illness a secret until the last minute, not wanting his friends and colleagues to worry. That is the characteristic of true artists, always putting the peace of those around them above their own pain.

Funeral and condolences from colleagues and audiences

The funeral of artist Cong Tai was held at his private home in Chanh Hung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, where his family has been attached for many years. This is also the address where many colleagues and audiences came to visit, send condolences and send wreaths. The funeral will take place at 2:00 p.m. on July 19, 2025, after which the coffin of artist Cong Tai will be cremated at Da Phuoc Cemetery.

In the past few days, Bui Cong Danh's family has received many condolences and wreaths from close colleagues such as Hong Van Theater, representatives of Tran Huu Trang Theater, and a large audience who loved artist Cong Tai through each profound role on the Cai Luong stage.

Meritorious Artist Le Thien - former Deputy Director of Tran Huu Trang Theater, expressed his condolences: "The Cai Luong stage has just lost a familiar face, a warm voice that has been deeply imprinted in the memories of many generations of audiences." This comment affirms the important position of artist Cong Tai in the hearts of the public and music lovers.
