Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan was born into a family with an artistic tradition. Her father is the famous director Duc Doc.

Graduated from Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema and worked at the Youth Theater, with her elegant, gentle face and delicate acting style, Chieu Xuan won the hearts of audiences through films such as My Mother-in-law, My Lover Gets Married, Hanoi in Winter of 1946, Hanoi in the Season of Birds Making Nests...
Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan once confided that the four words "inspirational" cannot fully describe the entire sky of art that her father brought before her eyes.
"Since I was little, I have watched my father stage plays, taught acting, listened to my mother talk about my father's performances, and seen pictures of him performing abroad... My mother is a worker, so everything for her is quite simple, so the breath of life revolving around my father's world is somewhat new. So, for me, embarking on an artistic path was a matter of course, not something that suddenly sprouted one fine day," Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan confided.
Following her father, Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan realized how important honesty, devotion and sincerity are to her profession. And all of those principles must start from her own seriousness towards art.
Meritorious Artist Chieu Xuan - Do Hong Quan couple have 2 daughters, the youngest daughter Hong Khanh is starting her 2nd year at the Vietnam National Academy of Music.
