People's Artist Cong Ly has successfully created the unique character Bac Dau, outstanding in both appearance and personality in Tao Quan.

In Tao Quan, the couple Nam Tao - Bac Dau often have a lot of screen time and are always awaited by the audience.

Over the past two years, when People's Artist Cong Ly could not take on the role of Bac Dau due to health reasons, many audiences still felt regretful.

With a somewhat sour and mean personality, "Miss Dau" of People's Artist Cong Ly has left a deep impression for 2 decades. Appearing at the court, Bac Dau brought a rough and mean image with the catchphrases "crazy girl", "debt" but also very graceful and polished.

In a program, People's Artist Cong Ly once revealed that it took him several hours to put on makeup, the same amount of time to remove makeup, and he had to wear a 3-4kg costume to transform into Bac Dau.

Talking about the birth and transformation of this role, People's Artist Cong Ly shared that initially, the creation of the character Bac Dau was just a fun idea for this character to be more humorous, different from Nam Tao.

“No one has defined how Nam Tao and Bac Dau should be. I discussed with Xuan Bac to find a way to make the role more attractive. I said Xuan Bac is more handsome than me and will play the “manly” role, and I, with my bald head, will play the “oh my god” role,” People’s Artist Cong Ly recounted.

The contrast between Nam Tao and Bac Dau creates a unique attraction for Tao Quan. Every year, the audience eagerly waits to see Bac Dau's clothes change through the seasons, each year it is colorful and stands out among the Tao cast.

Bac Dau by People's Artist Cong Ly is associated with many humorous and impressive lines. Some of them include: "Once he loves, he will not let a normal person do it", "Participating in traffic is like filling in a blank, meaning that wherever there is an opening, we jump in", "Big things need to be said softly, because when we say softly, the things will become smaller", "A sewer that wants to be compared to the ocean, a ditch that wants to be equivalent to a hydroelectric plant", "Being frank and honest often leads to a disadvantage"...

Not only is Bac Dau formidable in speech, he is also rude and ready to "take action" against the Kitchen Gods and his subordinates. The image of Bac Dau with his flashy clothes and hot-tempered personality always brings laughter to viewers.

People's Artist Cong Ly works at the Hanoi Drama Theater, holding the position of Deputy Director. In addition to his stage activities, he has participated in many TV series such as "Gio Lang Kinh", "Bao Qua Lang", "Chuyen Ngang Qua Pho Cu", "Nhung Co Gai Trong Thanh Pho", "Huong Duong Nguoc Nang".

In 2019, he was awarded the title of People's Artist.

In July 2021, the actor fell at home and had to undergo treatment for years to recover his health. Since then, he has rarely performed or acted in films, focusing on his treatment. In 2023, he had a guest role in "My family suddenly becomes happy".
