Tu Nhi - The famous prostitute in Saigon was tragically beaten by drugs and charms

People often say red face silver fate. This saying applies to many old Saigon beauties, typically the case of Marianne Nhi. There was a time when she reached the pinnacle of fame and money, but at the end of her life, this beauty had to drag herself to beg with sore feet that scared anyone who looked at it.

Marianne Nhi, also known as Tu Nhi, has two bloodlines, her father is Khmer, her mother is Vietnamese (from Sa Dec - Dong Thap now). The whole family lived for a long time in Nam Vang, which is the capital of Cambodia now). When he was 17 years old, Nhi was once in a relationship with a prince from the royal family of Thap pagoda. But hearing rumors that Saigon at that time was the pearl of the far east, Nhi decided to return to Vietnam with empty hands, alone to venture into the bustling metropolis of Saigon to find a chance to change her life.

Tu Nhi's life has completely turned to a new page when he meets Ba Tra - one of the four great beauties of old Saigon. At this time, Ba Tra is living with Franchini - a Corsican gangster who specializes in opium trading throughout Indochina. In his memoirs, Ba Tra once recounted meeting Tu Nhi.

One night, Ba Tra went to see a movie at Cau Muoi cinema. In the dark, Tra suddenly heard the soft voice of a girl sitting in the back seat. She offered Tra a cigarette to get acquainted. Rejected by Ba Tra, the girl introduced herself as Tu Nhi, expressing that she had idolized Ba Tra for a long time and wished to live a life like Ba Tra.

After Tra left, Tu Nhi was not afraid, ran after and said a sentence that surprised Ba Tra: "Where is Miss Ba's house, let me go home with you". Looking closely at the brave girl, Ba Tra realized that this was a beautiful young girl with an attractive body. Sympathizing with the homeless situation she had experienced, Tra agreed to let Nhi go home. Guided by the great beauty, Marianne Nhi Quickly became a luxury girl, present in every game of the elite in Saigon.

Not long after that, Nhi was still dating Franchini - Ba Tra's lover and was bought by him for a spacious villa on Verdun Street (now Cach Mang Thang Tam Street).

Possessing voluptuous breasts, luscious red lips, and talking eyes that are always wet and erotic, Tu Nhi is sought after by many giant players. Gradually, the country girl became conceited, plunging into games like a moth.

That day, even Ba Tra was surprised to see that the girl with wet feet on the ground in Saigon had "picked up" most of the rich people who had "passed through" their hands. From Duke Bach, the son of Tra Vinh to the most famous and elegant French man, Franchini.

It is said that because she did not want to be inferior to anyone, Nhi asked for a charm that made it impossible for men to leave her. This is probably not strange because in the land of pagodas and pagodas where she was born, the story of love charms and love wormwood is as familiar as perfume used every day.

At that time in Saigon, when the big officials only dared to drive Delage, Panhage or Citroen cars, Tu Nhi rode on a Hotchkisss car, and then Alpha - Roméo cost tens of thousands of dong. People were taken aback by the luxury of this twenty-year-old girl and then also admired her soaring like a kite in the wind.

Imitating the "fashion" of the movie stars at that time, Tu Nhi also made friends with opium. She sucked on the pipe very long, creating an elegant and aristocratic style that many people fell in love with. Every night, Tu Nhi lies down by the lamp table, dreamingly enjoying the pleasure of "Miss Furong". Many men also come to her place to be close to the beautiful woman who knows the smell of life.

Many men who were previously infatuated with Ba Tra now switched to Tu Nhi, chasing after them with all kinds of precious gifts or luxurious money. Like the pair Bach Cong Tu - Le Cong Phuoc and Hac Cong Tu - Tran Trinh Huy are the same. They used to splash money like weed just to make Miss Ba Tra laugh, but now they turn to Tu Nhi.

Back to the French guy Franchini again, thinking that giving the villa lover will get her heart but not. Coupled with him for a while, Tu Nhi left and "coupled" with Go Den prince and bought another villa.

At his peak, wherever Tu Nhi went, men followed. At that time, a series of scandals broke out between men who were infatuated with Tu Nhi, typically the story of Prince Nhu Bich, son of a great landowner in Bac Lieu and a Chinese giant in Cho Lon. Tu Nhi changed his lover like a shirt, surpassing the playfulness of his sister Ba Tra.

But do not understand why, Tu Nhi suddenly disappeared from the place of debauchery in the mid-1940s. Mr. Ba Quan, a calendar player in the singing world, the only person who met Tu Nhi again said, one day. In the morning of 1945, at a restaurant on George Guynemer Street, he suddenly heard a jerking call: "Brother Ba!". When he turned around, he saw no one but five or three dirty beggars.

When he was about to walk, he heard someone say: "Brother Ba, I'm Tu Nhi!". Unable to believe his eyes, he was shocked when standing in front of a beggar woman with dark lips, swollen legs and bandages covered with blood-stained cloth, full of flies. Seeing that, he quietly pulled out a 20-dollar bill and placed it in her palm. After that meeting, no one had any information about the famous girl from Saigon. People just passed on anecdotes about a woman who fell into a spell and was beaten by wormwood until she couldn't get up anymore.
