People's Artist Tran Hoai Thu: Youngest female Cheo artist to be awarded People's Artist, married to husband over 34 years old

Recently, according to the decision signed by President Vo Van Thuong on November 28, 42 individuals were awarded the title of People's Artist in the second phase of 2023. Among them, artist Hoai Thu is a young cheo actor. among the artists awarded the title of People's Artist this time.

Artist Hoai Thu was born in 1984 and came to Cheo at the age of 15. Initially, she was accepted into the Thai Binh Cheo Troupe, then attended the elementary rowing class in 1999-2000. About a year later, seeing that Hoai Thu sang well and acted well, the theater assigned her the role of Thi Mau in the play Quan Am Thi Kinh, participating in the National Professional Cheo Theater Festival in Quang Ninh.

As a result, Hoai Thu won 4 awards: Gold Medal, Outstanding Actor, Young Talent Award from the Theater Artists Association and Best Performing Actor at the 2001 show.

At the age of 17, she appeared on VTV's television program "For Fans". At the age of 30, he won the title of Meritorious Artist. She is one of the four famous beauties with golden singing voices of Thai Binh Cheo country: Thanh Tram, Van Quyen, An Chinh, Hoai Thu.

More specifically, when watching Tran Hoai Thu perform, many artists in the profession couldn't stop crying, and even once when just watching Thu perform, Meritorious Artist Minh Vuong, on the way to ride his motorbike before returning home, stopped in the middle of the road. On the way, he took out his phone and called, "Hey, I'm sorry to say a dirty word: ... Thu's acting is so good!

Working at Thai Binh Cheo Theater until 2005, in 2006, Hoai Thu transferred to Tuoi Tre Theater to be an actor in the physical theater troupe of People's Artist Lan Huong.

In 2013, 5 months after giving birth to a baby boy, Hoai Thu was still on leave from the Youth Theater. Meritorious Artist Minh Vuong asked her to play the role of Trung Trac in the play Me Linh Victory for People's Artist Trinh Thuy Mui (at that time). is the Director of Hanoi Cheo Theater) and brought it to the show. Embarrassed because of her young children, and away from the Cheo stage for 10 years, but when People's Artist Trinh Thuy Mui gave her the script and invited her to watch the play, Hoai Thu's "career blood" boiled again. The show that year was a great success.

In 2013, 5 months after giving birth to her son, and still on leave from the Youth Theater, Hoai Thu was awarded Meritorious Artist Minh Vuong thanks to her role as Trung Trac in the play Me Linh Victory for People's Artist Trinh Thuy Mui ( at that time Director of Hanoi Cheo Theater) took it to the show.

Although she had been away from the Cheo stage for 10 years and was busy taking care of her young children, when People's Artist Trinh Thuy Mui gave her the script and invited her to watch the play, Hoai Thu accepted because she was still "burning" with the profession. In the end, the play that year was a great success.

Since then, in every play Thu has participated in, she has played the main role and, if any, has won a Gold Medal. In 2015, during the consideration for awarding the State title, young artist Tran Hoai Thu was on the list of Vietnam's Outstanding Artists. Dusk gradually falls, mixed with the sounds of birds singing and crowing, the sound of a clock ticking, Thu seems to be in a trance talking about her role. Thu said that while moving house, she accidentally picked up the script she had acted in, so she suddenly abandoned it. Reading the emotional part, tears flowed like rain... So crazy, so crazy, Being so passionate and confused is all because of the job.

Hoai Thu has an extremely feminine and sexy beauty, but contains abundant inner strength hidden inside. The eyes sparkled fiercely, it felt like fire was coming from those eyes and maybe when "in the field" they were ready to burn anything in front of them. It's no wonder that she has that physique and charisma. Previously, Ms. Thuy Mui, Director of Hanoi Cheo Theater, told me that her theater had just acquired a young actress named Hoai Thu. The girl acted very well. Watching Thu perform, you forget death and sadness.

Ms. Mui said: "The girl gave up 10 years of performing Cheo to perform theater, but when she returned to Cheo, she won several gold medals at every stage performance. Watching the Thu performance, many Cheo artists shed tears, a flock of them. A veteran rower like Quoc Anh even cried happily...".

In addition to her remarkable career, Tran Hoai Thu also reminds the audience of her love story with her husband 34 years older, People's Artist Le Hung. Known as one of the rare couples where both husband and wife are People's Artists, the marriage of director Le Hung and artist Hoai Thu is admired by many people. However, their love story was not supported because of their age gap.

Hoai Thu herself also shared that she never imagined that one day she would fall in love and spend her whole life with a man 32 years older than her. Furthermore, that man has had 4 wives and has 2 children of his own.

When she learned that the beautiful, youthful actress Hoai Thu decided to stick with the famous director, her relatives objected, and outsiders were skeptical. Despite the gossip and disagreements, the two were still determined to go home together.

Up to now, People's Artist Le Hung and his wife have been together for more than 10 years and have 3 more children. Hoai Thu affirmed that she never felt disadvantaged even though many people thought it would be difficult for a husband and wife with an age difference to get along. She even thanked fate for allowing her to meet someone like her husband, because People's Artist Le Hung always knows how to warm up married life and bring her surprises.
