Actor Truong Ve Kien recently participated in an interview program and rarely shared about childhood injuries, along with difficult times when he first entered the profession that few people knew about.
On screen, Truong Ve Kien is always optimistic, often smiles and brings a lot of joy to the audience, but from a young age, he has lived in obsession with his father who often abuses his family.
He revealed that his father works at sea all year round to earn a living, his personality is strict and hot-tempered, making him always live in fear.
Every day I have to look at my father's face to see his mood, worrying that he will get angry and beat people, even beat my mother," Truong Ve Kien confided.
The actor recalled that once his younger brother went in the wrong shoes, his father immediately got angry. And he himself was very poor at Math, once trying very hard to get 60 points, happily reporting to his father, he immediately received a slap.
At that time, my heart was very uncomfortable, my father often used violence against the family," he recounted.
Because of that situation, Truong Ve Kien learned how to see other people's faces; he often proactively admitted his mistakes, so he was the least beaten person in the family.
In his youth, Truong Ve Kien was also very rebellious. He once put dead bats in boxes to give to teachers, so he was severely disciplined. At that time, he also played with a group of mischievous friends.
However, he explained that the old friends were just immature, not bad in nature. Currently, some people are successful in business, some are settled abroad, and everyone is still in contact with each other.
At the age of 17, Truong Ve Kien's father heartlessly abandoned 4 mothers and children, causing the family to fall into economic crisis. As the eldest son, Truong Ve Kien had to go to a bar to sing to help his mother.
But the environment there was extremely complicated, he was once offended by people in the underworld. To settle everything, the shop owner forced him to publicly pour wine and apologize.
This humiliating experience made him determined to register to participate in the singer selection contest, with the goal of becoming a professional singer.
Finally, he won the championship and the "Best Performance Style" award at the 3rd Tan Tu contest, officially stepping into the entertainment industry.
After signing a contract with TVB station, Truong Ve Kien extremely appreciates every job opportunity. He proactively discussed the script with the director, and went to his superior office to ask not to cut off his scenes.
Thanks to his acting and outstanding appearance, the actor born in 1965 is famous for many works such as "Journey to the West 1996", "Youth Hero Phuong The Ngoc", "Lộc đỉnh ký", "Youth Truong Tam Phong", "Như ý cát tường", "Tiểu Ngư Nhi and Hoa Vô Khuyết", "Failed Child"...
He admitted that in his youth he was quite pragmatic, always wanted to have luxury cars and a house overlooking the sea, too attached to fame and fortune. But now, just having simple food and drinks is already satisfying.
Truong Ve Kien said that what his father did once made him deeply resentful, even thinking about revenge.
But his mother's tolerance and generosity became the biggest example in his life. Many years after his parents divorced, his mother still took her children to the hospital to visit her seriously ill grandfather.
After many years, Truong Ve Kien chose "not to forget but to forgive". He believes that there are wounds that cannot be erased, but people can choose to let go of resentment and choose to forgive.
He gradually let go of his dissatisfaction with his father, replaced by gratitude. It was his father's departure that forced him to soon take on the responsibility of raising the family and even more cherish the time spent with loved ones, especially his mother.
In recent years, Truong Ve Kien has reduced his film work to spend more time with his elderly mother. He also frankly said that he does not have a biological child, so he devotes all his love to his mother and family.
Now, at the age of 61, he has a very open view of life: "A simple life is enough happiness. Many people are bound by inherent beliefs, using profession and money to measure success or failure. But in fact, the most important thing in life is to live comfortably and peacefully.
