However, while she was alive, she told me that if she died, she should be cremated and her ashes scattered at Vung Tau beach. She was born in Dong Thap but grew up in Vung Tau, where she spent her entire youth," he added.
A few days earlier, artist Vu Thanh made many people feel sorry when he posted a photo of his wife lying unconscious on a hospital bed along with a poem filled with pai.n: "Now I only count the days, I will not see my gentle wife of the past again. A few tears like rain, if in the next life I can find you and bring you back. For seven months I was too clumsy, letting you suffer from all kinds of pai.n and illness."
In recent days, artist Vu Thanh has posted many sad statuses, asking friends and colleagues to pra.y for his wife. The passing of singer Le Hai has left many colleagues and audiences heartbroken. Through their personal pages, People's Artist Trinh Kim Chi, Hong To, Kha Ly, Phuong Hang... and many colleagues have sent their condolences to the male artist's family.
During the time singer Le Hai was hospitalized, Vu Thanh was always there to take care of her. The actor of Vat Chung Mong Manh said that despite the difficulties in his family's life, he still tried to shoulder the treatment costs, hoping that his wife could overcome her illness. They also received support from relatives and some close friends to cover some of the expenses.
Accordingly, actors Thu Trang and Tien Luat donated 30 million VND to support the family of artist Vu Thanh. In addition, singer Ngo Thai Bao and actor Quach Huu Loc also donated 2 million VND each.
Singer Le Hai was born in 1948, was a famous lounge singer, and had a skillful dance. She married artist Vu Thanh and lived together for more than 40 years. To have a happy family, both of them had to go through a stormy period. In their old ag.e, the artist couple rented a house and still struggled to make a living.
According to artist Vu Thanh, his greatest consolation is that his wife has shared the hardships with him throughout their marriage. He also writes television scripts and skits. He is an actor who did not learn his craft from school, but only learned it "by stealth" from colleagues and friends. The first person to give him advice in his early days of writing scripts was Viet Huong. Later, his works were staged in many of his colleagues' live shows.
Artist Vu Thanh was born in 1959 in Ho Chi Minh City. He is a versatile artist on stage, having taken on many different roles, from director, actor, comedian, modern singer to magician. Despite his dedication to art, he has not had much luck in his career. At the ag.e of nearly 70, he still struggles to make a living and support his family.
In recent years, the male artist opened a noodle shop to earn extra income. He did not hesitate to roll up his sleeves to serve and sell noodles to make ends meet.
Artist Vu Thanh and singer Le Hai have a son who is nearly 40 years old. In addition, he also has a 30-year-old stepchild living in Hue. However, the artist couple had to face another pai.n when their son got into gambling and football betting, causing the family to fall into poverty. For many years, the couple had to shoulder the burden of paying off their son's debts, and their assets gradually "flew away". His son went to work far away, his daughter-in-law left, leaving the 8-year-old grandchild for the artist couple Vu Thanh to take care of.
In a conversation with reporters in 2023, the artist once confided that after the mistakes of his youth, he realized the value of family happiness. Accordingly, he left home to live in Da Lat with his lover and had a chil.d.
After a few years of living together, he realized that their personalities were not compatible, and his feelings for his lover gradually faded. When his biological mother passed away, singer Le Hai still brought her children from Vung Tau to Saigon to mourn. Her behavior made him regretful and wanted to go back and start over.
After months of psychological struggle, he finally overcame his inferiority complex and shame and decided to leave Da Lat and return home. Vu Thanh was so ashamed that he did not dare to go home to see his wife and children, but asked a close friend to take him there.
Because during their time together, artist Vu Thanh behaved very well, so he won the hearts of his wife's family. That's why, when she asked her relatives for their opinions, everyone advised her to give him a chance. Realizing that her husband truly repented and wanted to change and start over, she softened her heart. Since then, the couple Vu Thanh - Le Hai have lived happily ever after. Artist Vu Thanh loves his wife more and more, especially when she proactively asked him to bring her children with his lover back to raise. Therefore, Vu Thanh always tried to make up for his wife's life so that she could have a better life, so he felt even more remorseful for letting her live in poverty and illness in her old ag.e.
With artist Vu Thanh: "At my old ag.e, I have to go out to earn a living to support my family, but I have never felt sad because my wife is always by my side, encouraging me. Every day, when I come home tired from work, she still sits there waiting for me with a nice meal."
"Le Hai is a woman who knows how to take care of life, always taking care of food and clothes. In the past 4-5 years, despite many difficulties, my wife and I have shared the hardships, sometimes just eating boiled vegetables with soy sauce and still feeling happy," he confided.
Despite the hardships and poverty, Vu Thanh said he has never liked to complain about poverty or tell stories of his hardships to get others to pity him. Amidst all the hardships, his greatest comfort right now is his 10-year-old grandson, who is smart, intelligent, and understanding. "Despite the changes, I am still determined to accompany my wife in the health battle. No matter how difficult it is for me, I have never thought of giving up," he said.
