Artist Tieu Phung said she had just performed an excerpt of "Tận trung bao quốc" with artist Linh Tam in the US, receiving praise from overseas Vietnamese. As the daughter of the late Meritorious Artist Minh Phung, she is well aware of the public's love for her father. Therefore, she always improves her career and has the desire to return to her homeland to participate in performances.

"It's not just a comeback. For me, it's a continuation. Artist Tieu Phung continues the artistic flow that has permeated the blood of a family of singers. It's also Tieu Phung's pride when mentioning her father - the late Meritorious Artist Minh Phung" - artist Linh Tam shared when talking about Tieu Phung's return to the stage after many years away.

Artist Tieu Phung: Artist blood in two family branches

Artist Tieu Phung is the daughter of Meritorious Artist Minh Phung. He is a singer who has moved many generations of cai luong lovers through classic plays such as: "Bong Hong Sa Desert" (role of Prince Phi Son), "Tam Su Loai Chim Bien" (role of Ao Vu Co Han), "Xin Mot Lan Yeu Nhau" (role of Au Thien Vu), "Kiep nao co yeu Nhau" (role of Mo Dung Thach),...

Artist Tieu Phung’s mother, artist Dieu Hue, was also a person who used to work in the theater industry. After her marriage broke down, Dieu Hue married artist Hoai Truc Phuong, while Meritorious Artist Minh Phung built a family with artist Kieu Tien – mother of Y Phung, a famous actress and singer in the 90s of the last century.

Of Minh Phung's two daughters who pursue art, Tieu Phung is the quieter and more reserved one. Without much scandal or noise, she chooses to keep the fire of art in her heart, despite many years of living abroad.

Artist Tieu Phung will return with inner strength

The excerpt "Tận trung bao quốc" that she just performed with artist Linh Tam is not only a test of her career. It is also a silent declaration: that she, an artist with the bloodline of cải lương, still has the passion intact, still burns with love for the profession in every look, song, and gesture.

Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long commented: "Although she has been away from the stage for many years, artist Tieu Phung's voice still retains its emotional, Southern color, and the melodies that the audience still remembers. More than her singing voice, she is highly appreciated for her ability to act deeply, a rare talent among the current generation of artists who are not formally trained but always shine when given a role."

"I want to go home…"

After a memorable performance in the US, artist Tieu Phung emotionally shared: "I hope to return home to act in a TV series and perform cải lương on my hometown stage. I don't see this as a return, but as continuing on the path I have chosen."

That wish is not only a personal desire, but according to fellow artists, it is the voice of Tieu Phung and many artists living far away from home, who carry in their hearts a nostalgia for their hometown stage, the place that once nurtured the artists' souls and memories.

If singer Y Phung was the public face of the film and commercial music genre at one time, Tieu Phung represented the profound side of the art of reformed opera. "I learned from my father how to practice my singing voice. Although I don't often perform with my father, the bloodline passed down from father to son is still strong in my inner strength whenever I think of my father. That reminds me to always strive for my career" - artist Tieu Phung said.

Her return, whether in the US or soon in her home country, could open a new journey: connecting traditional cải lương with young audiences, while inspiring the next generation with her own spirit of humility, perseverance, and pure passion.

"Tieu Phung's singing connects Meritorious Artist Minh Phung, Dieu Hue, Hoai Truc Phuong, and today is a bridge between the past and the present. A bridge that is reviving, slowly but steadily, with the heart of an artist who longs to return to participate in filming, acting in plays and singing reformed opera" - Artist Linh Tam said.
