People's Artist Thanh Dien shares sincerely in a new video just posted on the YouTube channel Memories of People's Artist Thanh Dien - Thanh Kim Hue.

Since the death of artist Thanh Kim Hue, Thanh Dien has created a separate YouTube channel as a way to preserve memories and share his undying love for his partner.

Love forever

At the beginning of the video, Thanh Dien shared a drawing of Thanh Kim Hue by Hong Loan, their daughter, with the caption: "Mom! My drawing is bad, don't laugh at me!". The drawing recreates the moment Thanh Kim Hue was awarded a gold medal while working at the Saigon 1 Group.

"My daughter was only 4 years old at that time, barely able to read, standing quietly behind the stage, holding a folded piece of paper with a drawing of her mother with short doll-like hair, wearing a beautiful dress, wearing a necklace, and receiving an award. For 35 years, Hue has kept this painting as a treasure. And now, I will keep it for the rest of my life as a witness to our success," Thanh Dien confided.

Thanh Kim Hue and Thanh Dien are one of the most famous and longest-standing artist couples of the cai luong stage.

They have lived and acted together for more than 40 years, going through many ups and downs, but always maintaining sweetness and respect in their feelings.

He still mentions her as a way to preserve memories and give love to the audience, who have always loved this artist couple.

"Between two streams of opinion, I struggled a lot to make this clip. But in the end, I still chose to mention Thanh Kim Hue because I know the audience loves me, loves Hue and wants to see Hue still by my side. So please understand me.

Throughout my life, I will always remember the small, charming smile, passionate about vọng cổ and never walking more than 5 steps behind me because Huệ was very agile, just walking ahead of me", Thanh Dien emotionally shared.

For Thanh Dien, memories of artist Thanh Kim Hue are not only about the stage, but also about everyday things: meals, birthdays, favorite dishes, and quiet but loving care.

"For many years, Hue has been the one to organize my birthday. Sometimes we go to a restaurant, small but cozy. Hue takes the whole family to a buffet because she knows I like to eat snails stir-fried with coconut, crab... so every birthday she takes the whole family out to eat.

Hue also told her children: 'Today is dad's birthday, we eat these dishes, whoever can eat, eat, whoever can't eat, must go for fun'. So the whole family went together, it was fun and loving, very cozy.

I can never forget that image. Every year, birthday parties were held in different places, sometimes big parties, sometimes small parties. But no matter where the party was held, I could feel Thanh Kim Hue's love for me," Thanh Dien tearfully recalled.

Family images never get old in Thanh Dien's memory. He always likes to record moments with his wife and children to keep them forever in his heart.

"This year, I celebrate my 81st birthday but without two people, a wife and a daughter, Nguyen Duc Hong Loan. They have left me, so this birthday is a bit sad and nostalgic for me. I want to celebrate this birthday to remember the old birthdays with the fullness of family members," Thanh Dien said slowly, his voice choked.
