Famous singer Hoa Mi, real name Truong Thi My, was once a top star in the Vietnamese music industry. With a high, emotional voice, she is loved for her songs by Hoang Thi Tho, Lam Phuong, Khanh Bang...
In addition to singing, Hoa Mi is also a famous calendar photo face, considered a symbol of beauty at one time. However, when she was at the peak of her fame, she decided to leave the spotlight to prioritize her family.
At the age of 70, she still maintains a gentle appearance and a gentle voice, but each story is filled with the feelings of an artist who has gone through ups and downs.
In 1988, Hoa Mi and her children settled in France. Far from home, she started over with a job making French bread to raise her children and make ends meet.
Notably, famous singer Hoa Mi was once the only Vietnamese person working as a baker in France, a job that was often reserved for men because of its heavy nature. Making French bread is not easy, but I have determination and a little talent. I work to support myself and my children, and I don't dare to dream of anything further," she said.
Although she was a famous star, Hoa Mi is still humble, not complaining, just gently calling it "an inevitable part of fate".
In the program, the female singer emotionally mentioned the late musician Lam Phuong - who wrote for her the song "Em di don" in 1988 in Paris. "Mr. Lam Phuong wrote that song to talk about my situation at that time. I heard it and shed tears. Until now, the song is still loved by the audience, as part of my memories, she shared.
After nearly 30 years away from the stage, famous singer Hoa Mi returned to music when she had just turned 60 years old. Her singing is still full of emotions, carrying the breath of memories and gratitude to the audience. "Now Hoa Mi is no longer young, but every time she sings, it is a happiness. I consider it a thank you to the audience because they still remember and love me, she confided.
