In addition to his successful career, People's Artist Quoc Truong (born in 1965) also makes the audience admire him because he has a perfect marriage with his beautiful wife who works in the same profession, 13 years younger.

"Jade Emperor" of Encounter late 2003

Over the years, audiences have become familiar with the image of the Jade Emperor played by artist Quoc Khanh in Tao Quan. But few people know that the first artist to take on this role was People's Artist Quoc Truong.

In 2003, director Khai Hung - the "father" of Kitchen Gods invited Quoc Truong to play the role of the Jade Emperor in the program Year-End Meeting - Xuan Quy Mui because he found him suitable for the role. However, the male artist only transformed into the Jade Emperor once.

Unlike the deep and serious features of "Jade Emperor" Quoc Khanh, Quoc Truong's character "Jade Emperor" is lively and humorous. Along with "Nam Tao", "Xuan Bac" and Bac Dau "Cong Ly", he brought great laughter to the audience of that year's show.

After Year-End Meeting - Spring Quy Mui, People's Artist Quoc Truong also acted in comedy skits with artists Pham Bang, Quang Thang, Quoc Khanh... However, later, because he was busy, he could not perform outside. for a long time, so he gradually withdrew.

Rarely appears on television, but People's Artist Quoc Truong is a veteran artist on Cheo stages. He often plays the clown in Cheo plays, and is considered to have the same acting and charm as comedian Xuan Hinh.

In 2007, Quoc Truong assumed the position of Deputy Head of the General Department of Logistics art troupe. In 2010, he became Deputy Director of the Military Cheo Theater (formerly the Cheo art troupe of the General Department of Logistics).

Currently, Quoc Truong holds the position of Director of the Military Cheo Theater, and is the direct "boss" of People's Artist Tu Long (holding the position of Deputy Director of the Military Cheo Theater).

Since becoming a manager, artist Quoc Truong rarely participates in performances but always misses the stage and the feeling of performing for the audience.

"I still love television and do not deny that this is an opportunity to promote the image of the Theater, but my time is indeed limited. I have plenty of time to "attend" many things at the same time - especially the person in charge. At first, I was dominated by a lot of work. Meetings all day, then making notebooks and letting my brothers practice,...

Furthermore, in the army there are many strict regulations so I can't be arbitrary," he confided.

Talking about the difference between being on stage and everyday life, he frankly said: "The peculiarities of management sometimes cause the artist's personality to be suppressed and calm down, not to be happy, comfortable, and noisy. Noisy as before. Artists should only be "drunk" on stage to know the difference between when it's a job and when it's real life. Many people "act" no matter what they do in life. it won't be good.

I dare to be proud of the clear distinction between the stage and everyday life. On stage, I am artist Quoc Truong, but when I step off stage, in real life, I am just an ordinary Colonel."

Happy life with my wife of the same profession, 13 years younger

In addition to his successful career, People's Artist Quoc Truong also made fans admire him because of his perfect marriage with his beautiful wife, 13 years younger than him. People's Artist Quoc Truong's wife is Meritorious Artist Lam Thanh. She possesses a gentle, feminine beauty and is currently the Head of Troupe 2 of the Military Cheo Theater.

The two got to know each other when they were invited by the TV station to participate in the rowing play Carp Overwhelming Carp. At that time, Lam Thanh played the female lead, while Quoc Truong only played the role of a clown. Who would have thought that his witty clownish nature would help him conquer the beauty.

In 2001, artist Quoc Truong officially said goodbye to his single life and took her to his palace. He revealed that before getting married, he made two vows: "Not getting married in the profession and only when I become a Meritorious Artist will I get married." But when he met his wife, he only kept one vow: to have the title of Meritorious Artist before getting married.

Quoc Truong wryly said that all his life he had been doing tricks, bringing people's laughter, but when he got married, he fell into a "situation of laughing and crying". Two days before the wedding, his wife suddenly had appendicitis and had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery.

The next day, there was a banquet for guests. He had to ask the doctor to let the bride go home for about an hour to meet the guests because it couldn't be postponed, everything had been prepared. On the wedding day, the bride sat in a wheelchair, her face grimacing to greet the guests. At the end of the round, the bride was escorted back to the hospital, and only he remained to receive guests.

The wedding day was "hard", but Quoc Truong and his wife have always been happy and harmonious for more than 20 years. Outside he is a famous leader and artist, but when he comes home, he does not hesitate to help his wife with housework. When his wife is busy, the male artist is ready to clean the house and go to the kitchen to cook.

In addition, because they work in the same profession, artist Quoc Truong and his wife always understand and respect each other. There is never any jealousy between the two.

After many years of living together, Quoc Truong and Lam Thanh had a son and a daughter. The male artist confided that now, because his two children have grown up, one is studying abroad, the other is in high school, his and his wife's life is more relaxed and comfortable than before.
