At the age of 78, artist Nguyen Chau surprised the public when he was still working the set with a fortune of more than 1,100 roles. However, few people know that behind that aura is a miserable past that has to be housed in a pigsty.

Recently, public opinion could not help but be stirred by the impressive return of artist Nguyen Chau in the series "Weekend Short Film". At an age when many people choose to rest and have fun with their children and grandchildren, this 4X male artist still persistently "plows" the set of the film. The image of a gentle father with the philosophy of "boiling rice on fire" is not only a role on the screen, but seems to be a conclusion from his own life full of ups and downs.

Looking at his massive career with more than 600 plays and 500 films, the audience only sees a veteran "monster" of the Southern screen. However, behind those talking numbers is a career diary full of sweat and tears. Few people imagine that a familiar face of television once had to distill every can of rice, even turning a pigsty into a temporary residence to stick to the profession.

The love story of artist Nguyen Chau and his wife also made the online community lean in admiration. Coming from a poor accountant, who often visited her family's rice shop, that relationship has lasted for more than half a century. The audience couldn't help but be moved when they heard about the days in the evening when the couple pushed a bread cart and broke up on the sidewalk to earn more income, while during the day he still worked hard to perform comedy.

It is worth noting the attitude of the wife during the past 50 years. While the entertainment world is full of noise and rifts, she chooses to quietly control her family, making the rear without a single complaint. Fans believe that it is the silent sacrifice of that woman that has created a stable Nguyen Chau as it is now. The male artist admitted that she is not only a wife but also a benefactor, a keeper of the fire so that the family rice cooker will never be damaged.

Currently, although his health has declined somewhat, the passion for acting in the old artist's blood has never cooled down. Public opinion gave many praises for his serious work ethic, when each role was carefully recorded to take care of the lives of his children and grandchildren. It is a kindness to the profession that not every junior can do in the current era of rapid digitalization.

The moment of reunion of the artist Nguyen Chau's family every weekend is the clearest proof of the happy ending of a lifetime. Without the need for a luxurious house, his happiness is to see his children and grandchildren grow up and live honestly. The story of an artist who walks through the mud of poverty but still retains purity in his soul has been a strong inspiration to the public.

Public opinion believes that, for a person who lives with full love like artist Nguyen Chau, the applause of the audience is the most priceless gift. His career is not only about films, but also a lesson in morality, about how to behave for young people who are struggling to find the true value of family happiness in the midst of turbulent times.
