Before becoming an actress, Thanh Lan studied pharmacy. She talked about her decision to study at the same time at two universities and the difficulties when her family encountered financial problems. Although she had to switch from motorbikes to bicycles, Thanh Lan still persistently pursued her passion for acting, despite her mother's advice.
"My mother advised me to stay home from school. But after thinking about it, I felt that I loved this industry so much, if I left it alone, I would not be satisfied," Thanh Lan recalled. Since then, she has started to be independent and do more work to cover tuition.
After graduating from the stage school, the decision to leave the pharmaceutical industry to become a professional actor put great pressure on Thanh Lan. She felt the need to achieve certain success in her profession to prove that her choice was the right one.
Thanh Lan's life entered the most challenging period when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
When she heard the bad news, Thanh Lan was completely devastated. She shared that she has undergone many treatments, from surgery, chemotherapy to radiotherapy. Due to lack of knowledge about the disease, Thanh Lan initially thought that everything was over and did not believe the doctor's diagnostic results.
Thanh Lan confided about her feelings at that time: "I think life has gone through many events, I am trying like that, God will not take away anymore".
It was during the most difficult period that Thanh Lan realized that she was lucky to always have friends to accompany her. She said that they proactively texted to ask about and suggested taking Thanh Lan for a follow-up visit.
Thanh Lan always appreciates and appreciates a technology car driver. When he learned that she was going to the Oncology Hospital, he volunteered to take her for free. Although she initially refused because she did not want him to lose his income, Thanh Lan realized an important thing: sometimes we need to receive love from others, even from strangers.
Facing a serious illness, Thanh Lan changed her way of looking at life. She no longer sets too high goals but chooses to live fully every day and happily accept all the results, whether good or bad.
Thanh Lan also learned how to receive love from those around her. She realized that love is extremely important to everyone. Not only loving yourself, we also need to exchange feelings between people to have more faith and motivation to continue living.
