Thuong Tin used a cane to work for hire, was chased back to his hometown by his juniors, and became increasingly emaciated?

Recently, on Thuong Tin's Tiktok channel, a video of Thuong Tin at To Hieu's house in Saigon was unexpectedly shared. In the video, the actor of "Saigon Special Forces" said that his hometown (Phan Rang) was too difficult, so he went to find To Hieu to see if there was any work.

However, the male musician advised his senior that with his current health, returning to his hometown would be more suitable. Also in the video, To Hieu took Thuong Tin to visit the room where his senior used to live, which is currently being renovated to be more spacious. To Hieu also asked about his senior's health and the injection mark on his arm, and learned that Thuong Tin had fallen while he was still in his hometown.

Contacting To Hieu about the above video, the male musician said that more than a month ago, Thuong Tin came to visit him unexpectedly but he was not home at that time. When he returned, he saw his senior coming out of the house. He recorded the video and proactively updated it on Thuong Tin's TikTok channel.

"The two brothers shared many stories from the past, and Mr. Tin also told me about his fall in the countryside. Honestly, he came to see me because he wanted to continue the film that I had previously written the script for. However, Mr. Tin is not healthy enough to do it now. For now, I will leave this project there. When Mr. Thuong Tin's health is stable, I will let him do it," To Hieu shared.

Previously, To Hieu said that his senior was being taken care of by relatives in his hometown of Phan Rang. Up to now, he still receives invitations to Thuong Tin's shows both in the South and the North, but because his senior is currently not convenient to travel, his personal documents are also lost and have not been reissued. "After returning from Hanoi a week ago, I called Mr. Tin's relatives and found out that his health is stable, but it is still inconvenient to travel far," To Hieu shared.

In addition, what caught the public's attention was the image of Thuong Tin appearing in the clip with a cane, a gaunt face, tired eyes, and a wound on his hand due to a careless fall. Currently, the video of Thuong Tin going to Saigon is still attracting the attention of fans with nearly 700,000 views and more than 2,000 comments on the channel.

For many months, artist Thuong Tin has been living in a house of more than 8 square meters, relying on his elderly mother and younger sister in Phan Rang (Ninh Thuan). Living in the countryside, the actor feels lonely and financially deprived. He wants to return to Ho Chi Minh City to sing and earn a living, but his health does not allow it.

The roles of Major Vong in the film "Van bai lat ngua", robber Bach Hai Duong in "San cap doi", Sau Tam in "Biet doi Sai Gon"... by the male artist have made countless Vietnamese audiences miss him.

In February 2021, he was hospitalized due to a stroke. At that time, the male artist received help from some colleagues, including artist Trinh Kim Chi, who called for donations. After recovering for a while, he mainly lived on money from colleagues and benefactors. At one point, Thuong Tin delivered goods to make ends meet, but later quit his job due to his health.

Since 2022, Thuong Tin has been supported by musician To Hieu, who has helped him take singing shows to earn income. Last March, Thuong Tin left To Hieu's house to return to his hometown in Ninh Thuan but has not been able to find a stable place to live.
