NS Phuong Lien: Broken marriage with Diep Lang, full life with 91-year-old husband and 6 stepchildren

At the age of 91, Phuong Lien's husband still accompanies his wife to the show.

Phuong Lien, whose real name is Lu Phung Lien (born July 14, 1947 in Can Tho), is one of the veteran and famous artists of the pre-1975 cai luong theater art (the same period as Le Thuy, My Chau, Minh Vuong,...).

She possesses a sweet voice, beautiful beauty and skillful acting ability on stage, which is admired by many audiences. Men that day were also passionate about Phuong Lien.

As a veteran artist, after nearly half a century, she still attracts listeners with her sweet, lyrical voice

Famous artists, famous names

At its peak, Phuong Lien's name was once considered a phenomenon of the Cai Luong stage, comparable to Thanh Nga, My Chau, Le Thuy...

In 1966, Phuong Lien was honored with the Gold Medal of the Thanh Tam Promising Award, which was personally awarded by Queen Cai Luong Thanh Nga. This award has confirmed Phuong Lien's name and talent.

After that, Phuong Lien's career improved more and more. She performed all over the stage with many big singing troupes, making her mark in many classic cai luong plays.

In the field of recording and recording, Phuong Lien and artist My Chau were considered the "two queens of plastic record labels" before 1975.

After 1978, Phuong Lien was invited to join the Thanh Minh - Thanh Nga troupe to replace the roles of Thanh Nga (after Thanh Nga died).

Later, Phuong Lien moved to the US to settle down and continued to be loved by the audience through many performances on the stage of Thuy Nga Paris by night. In which, there is a duet duet of Cai Luong with Phi Nhung that has reached millions of views on Youtube.

Divorced when the child was only 2 months old

Despite being so famous, the love story of artist Phuong Lien is quite difficult.

In 1964, Phuong Lien married People's Artist Diep Lang and had two children (a boy and a girl). Only two years later, when the second daughter was born less than 2 months old, the marriage fractured and broke up.

Artist Phuong Lien once shared that she did not regret looking back on her marriage with Diep Lang

After breaking up, Phuong Lien wanted to return to her ex-husband but failed. She was very distressed but did not know anyone else.

Eight years later, in 1974, while performing for the Bach Tuyet - Hung Cuong troupe, Phuong Lien was noticed by Mr. Nguyen Dinh Vinh and asked to get acquainted.

Mr. Vinh at that time had a wife and 6 children of his own and was much older than Phuong Lien, but still fascinated by the beauty and singing of the female artist.

Therefore, Phuong Lien was very sad, but could not refuse the call of love, so she accepted him, despite the fact that he had not divorced his first wife.

It was not until 1988 that the two got married. At this time, his first wife Vinh passed away.

In 1993, Phuong Lien and her husband settled in California (USA). Although she is a second wife, Phuong Lien is treated very kindly by her husband.

Happy life with second husband in the US

Regarding the love story between her and her husband, who is much older than her age, Phuong Lien confided:

"What makes me stick with him is his personality. I really loved him, but at first I was very sad because I fell in love with someone who was married, still has an older sister, and has 6 children of his own.

But he always protected and protected me so as not to be criticized or any objection even from the big sister. He is like a wife on a lover's shoulder in his hand.

He dares to stand up and arrange everything, not the cowardly man who is too afraid to hide and sneak. His wife also treated me with dignity.

Even when we lived together, his behavior with me was also very thoughtful and slow, so it lasted for decades like that.

The artist said that she and her husband are not rich in material things but full of love and happiness

His work is often bribed, many times people hide money in the box of cakes sent to him, but he refuses to accept a single penny. That's why he is still poor and has no money.

Back then, I wasn't actively looking for a husband for me, but there were moments that made me like him. That morning, he woke up early to go to the plane to go to work. He changed clothes and carried the suitcase extremely gently, trying not to make any noise, so that I wouldn't wake up.

Later, my older sister passed away, he and I officially got together and have been together until now, faithful to one heart."

Currently, Phuong Lien is 75 years old and lives happily with her 91-year-old husband in a small house in the US.

In the late afternoon, Phuong Lien and her husband now buy a small house in a quiet area for the elderly in Southern California

Compared to other artists, Phuong Lien's house is quite small but also cozy and full of everything.

The house is decorated in a pure Vietnamese style, with altars for ancestors, ancestors, couplets, calendars, many tapes, books and photos of artist Phuong Lien when she was young.

Phuong Lien's husband is 91 years old this year but looks extremely healthy and lucid. Phuong Lien herself is also 75 years old, but still young, radiant, smiling brightly. Mr Vinh said:

"I am 91 years old this year and my wife is 75 years old. My husband and I have lived together for decades but are still attached. What I love most about her is her love, how to treat me kindly when going up and down. dog.

We are always calm and peaceful even in the storm and love until now."

Phuong Lien's husband, although 91 years old, still accompanies her at every show. Most recently, in a clip returned by comedian Thuy Nga behind the scenes of a music night, the audience saw that Phuong Lien was still happy with her husband.

The second husband always accompanied Phuong Lien to the show. She still keeps the habits of her singing years: staying up late, getting up late. He wakes up early, so after exercising, he will make coffee with milk, prepare breakfast, wait for her to wake up to eat, chat, watch the news...
