Tang Thanh Ha was born in 1986 in Go Cong, Tien Giang, in a family of Chinese origin with 5 brothers and sisters. Her childhood was associated with months of poverty and deprivation.

Memories of street vendors, part-time work from dim sheets to earn money have been deeply imprinted in the actress's mind.

Although life is full of difficulties, the passion for art in the little girl has never been extinguished. Ha showed her talent and interest in acting since childhood, regularly participating in the school's cultural activities. Parents, despite their hardships, always encourage and create the best possible conditions for their daughters to pursue their passions. It was those hard childhood years that forged a strong, resilient Tang Thanh Ha and always appreciated the values of labor.

Speaking of Tang Thanh Ha's career, it is impossible not to mention the role of "Ngoc Nu" in the TV series "Doc Tinh" (2004) by talented director Luu Trong Ninh.

However, behind the glory of that "fateful" role is a story that few people expected. In order to have the opportunity to transform into "Ngoc Nu", Tang Thanh Ha faced a harsh challenge, almost losing the most important role in her life. At that time, when he came to audition for "Doc Tinh", Tang Thanh Ha was bluntly commented by director Luu Trong Ninh as "too bad" and completely incompatible with the image of the "female pearl" he was looking for. In the eyes of the difficult director, the young girl with a rustic face, dark skin and thin physique at that time was completely different from the gorgeous and arrogant beauty that the public often imagined as a silver screen star.

That grim remark was like a bucket of cold water pouring into the young girl's dream, making the disappointment almost drown. However, with a resilient nature and a will not to back down, Tang Thanh Ha did not give up. With constant efforts, she perseveres in convincing, proving her latent acting ability and desire to dedicate herself to art. In the end, that sincerity and unhoned talent moved director Luu Trong Ninh, helping her receive a precious nod.
