People's Artist Bui Bai Binh has been associated with Vietnam Feature Film Studio since he was young, experiencing many ups and downs, participating in many famous films such as: Son ca in the city, Silent town, Moment of silence of war, Guava season...
After retiring, People's Artist Bui Bai Binh is "in demand" with television film projects. He has made a spectacular transformation when from gentle, simple roles, he switched to playing villains and cruel people in "Wind of Kinh Village", "Village Ghost"...

In the near future, People's Artist Bui Bai Binh will air prime time with a new project. Sharing about his busy life after retirement, People's Artist Bui Bai Binh said, "If there is a suitable role that interests me, I will participate. I don't put much emphasis on TV series or movies, as long as it is a good role, there is space for creativity, then I will leave. At retirement age, still making films, learning from young people in the profession - for me that is a great joy.
People's Artist Bui Bai Binh shared that he and his wife currently live with their second son's family in the suburbs of Hanoi. "Our life is very simple. I just got promoted to grandfather, very happy. Many people often ask about income and material things. I think, having little spends little, having a lot spends a lot. The most important thing for me is only that my wife and children - relatives are healthy.
Artist Tu Oanh used to work at the Youth Theater, she has also retired under the regime. In recent years, artist Tu Oanh has continuously appeared in prime-time film projects and many film works. Among them, Tu Oanh has an impressive role in the movie "Rain on the Butterfly's Wings".
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporters, artist Tu Oanh said: "Perhaps, our profession is luckier than some fields, although I have retired, I still receive many opportunities to work. After retiring from the theater, I had a predestined relationship with television dramas, and then participated in some film projects. At this age, I am still trusted by directors, still able to work, to transform into many different fates... It's truly happiness.
Artist Tu Oanh is the wife of director Bui Thac Chuyen. With an independent acting career, artist Tu Oanh still participates in business to satisfy her passion.
Besides, she also takes care of gardening, growing green vegetables and fruits. "With a small piece of land, I grow green vegetables for my family. It's both a pleasure in old age, and there are clean vegetables, and relaxation and excitement when harvesting" - artist Tu Oanh said.
