Famous businesswoman, Chairman of Phu Hoa International Group - Ms. Tran Le Hoa has just passed away. A photo believed to be a "joint photo of Tran Le Hoa and Tri Trong Thuy in their youth" in 1990 widely circulated online. The photo also captioned Tri Trong Thuy 38 years old and Tran Le Hoa 49 years old.
But recently, reporter Dai Ha confirmed that the woman in the photo is not Tran Le Hoa.
Ms. Lu - the person in the photo - said: "That photo was taken by me with teacher Tri Trong Thuy backstage when participating in an event organized by CCTV in Zen City district, Foshan, Guangdong (China) in 2007.
I was born in 1974, in 2007 I was 33 years old. It is unclear since when this photo was spread and then attributed to Ms. Tran Le Hoa, saying it was her appearance when she was 49 years old".
At that time, as a "Fan of Journey to the West", in addition to taking photos with "Duong Tang" Tri Trong Thuy backstage, Ms. Lu also took photos with "Journey to the West" actors such as Ma Duc Hoa, Luc Tieu Linh Dong... She also once supported the management of part of the propaganda work for Mr. Tri Trong Thuy.
Since 2004, Ms. Lu has been in contact with members of the film crew of "Journey to the West", and for many years has always strived to promote Journey to the West culture.
Before being mistaken for Tran Le Hoa in the spreading photo, Ms. Lu was both angry and helpless: "This is a completely blatant mistake, not the same person. It doesn't look the same, I also don't know how the photo was spread, I can't find the origin.
Ms. Lu said that some self-promoting accounts also added black and white filters to photos. She believes that this is not true, and also disrespectful to Ms. Tran Le Hoa.
