From now on I can "be a gentleman for the rest of my life"

- How does Thu Quynh feel when she is one of the artists chosen to participate in the parade to welcome A80?

I feel proud, excited and honored to be chosen to represent the Culture - Sports sector to march in this parade. The Youth Theater has 12 participating artists who have practiced quite thoroughly and tried to arrange all their work to participate in the best way.

People may think that walking is simple, why do we need to practice so much, but to have 200 people from 1.5m to 1.9m tall walk in the right line, with the right stride size and walk in the same order is not simple, especially when the Culture - Sports block has the most diverse appearance. It is also difficult to arrange each line equally because it is related to titles and achievements, so the comrades in charge of the block have quite a headache. Not to mention the age range of the artists in the Culture - Sports block is also very wide.

To work and try together, after the first few training sessions, everyone realized the importance of training. Everyone was excited, and every time we went to practice, we had a lot of fun even though the weather this time of year was very changeable, with a lot of sun and a lot of rain.

Tuoi Tre Theater also has to encourage artists like Le Khanh, Lan Huong, Ngoc Bich... who are older people to take care of their health. Initially, there was also artist Duc Khue, but after a few rehearsals, unfortunately he could not participate because his health was not guaranteed. Instead, we can contribute more young faces, maybe you are not famous on television but with your achievements, you deserve to be in that group.

After a period of hard training, I was chosen as the head of the block, honored to hold the sign of the Culture - Sports block. This is something that makes me very proud and as the young people say now, I can "keep it for the rest of my life" (laughs). It is worth mentioning that this position was appointed by the comrades in the army and when I was chosen, the uncles, aunts and brothers and sisters of the block were very supportive.

- Thu Quynh participated in training for the A80 event when her child was still very young, and at the same time Hanoi was changing seasons and had unpredictable rain and sunshine. How did she stay healthy?

I jokingly told everyone that Comrade Thu Quynh set a goal of losing 2kg through exercise but up to this moment she has not lost any weight (laughs) . Just joking, but this is not the time for me to lose weight because if I don't eat enough nutrients and have enough meals, I won't have the energy to exercise. I have to be aware of maintaining my health because it's not easy to march like this. If I'm subjective about my health and can't do this task, I will feel very guilty.

Before joining, my parents texted me: "You're very tired! Bring ginseng and eat well" so I prepared everything. However, I still couldn't help but feel very tired. I'm afraid of crowds, every time we practice in Ba Dinh, the groups are packed tightly, the crowd of people come to watch so I feel suffocated, sometimes I have to ask the people around to sit and rest for some fresh air. Luckily, the people support us very enthusiastically, preparing food, drinks and fans.

I saw my mother in the most beautiful military uniform.

- After you shared a photo of you and your mother in military uniform, many people learned that she was a soldier. How many years have you been in the military?

My mother was born in 1961 and is currently a Lieutenant Colonel in the army. She has been a Party member for 25 years and has been in the army for 33 years. I have always cherished giving my mother a set of photos of her in military uniform because I find her very beautiful in this outfit. My mother is an extremely patriotic person, an exemplary Party member and is still active in the ward's veterans association. I feel that my mother has instilled in me a love of country, I don't know if it was when she was pregnant with me or in life. That love permeates me every day.

Recently, designer Dung Nguyen collaborated with a photographer to do a project "love ao dai, love the country" on the occasion of the A80 anniversary, so I texted him to ask for my family to participate.

I have to confidently say that I am an absolute patriot and expressed my desire to take a photo series with 3 generations with my mother - a soldier - and my daughter.

The photo series was just taken on the morning of August 25th when it was pouring rain. We had to work very quickly, taking advantage of every minute when the rain stopped to take the photos. The photo series of soldiers my mother took at the Imperial Citadel took less than an hour. I didn’t think the series of photos would be as beautiful as they were. Maybe because at that time everyone shared the same feelings and spirit of patriotism and pride.

When I invited my mother to join this photoshoot, she was very excited and nervous, eagerly preparing her uniform for several days. She was even happier and more joyful when my daughter - Tam - was very cooperative during the photoshoot.

The whole film crew laughed out loud at People's Artist Bui Bai Binh's act of blackmailing Thu Quynh. VTV has just released a behind-the-scenes clip of Mr. Thang (People's Artist Bui Bai Binh) blackmailing his niece Van (Thu Quynh) for killing his fighting cock in episode 2 of the film "With you, there is peace".
