Famous singer Ngoc Anh recalled a time performing in Phan Thiet in 1994 - 1995, when she performed the song Han Mac Tu on an outdoor stage in front of tens of thousands of audiences. In the midst of her passion for performing, a large rock suddenly fell right behind her. I only walked one step, otherwise that rock would have fallen on my head. At that time, I continued singing, because I didn't know what had just happened," she recounted. That dangerous moment made many people on stage excited and until now it is still an unforgettable memory for her.
Not only the dramatic moments, Ngoc Anh's performance journey is also full of humanity. Recalling the tour on the occasion of a full-scale festival in Phan Thiet, she said with regret: "My parents and the driver had to stay at a private house because at that time the hotel was full. The homeowner and his wife were willing to give up the room for my family to rest, while they went to the kitchen to sleep temporarily. Early in the morning, they even cooked a pot of congee to invite us. I tried to send money but they definitely did not accept it, because they loved me and my parents. I was really touched, because I felt loved as a blessing.
When mentioning her life, she did not hide her frankness when talking about the decision to go abroad to live: "I did not think too much, I just told my mother that I would go 6 months. If everything was fine, I would stay, otherwise I would go back. But then when I got married and had children, everything changed: I gave birth in 2003 but still went to shows regularly, because at that time I was the main source of income. I have to fly back and forth between the two places, always saving enough money and then coming back to visit my child for a few weeks. It's been like that for 8 years," she confided.
She had taken her child abroad three times but all were unsuccessful because the child was too young and refused to leave her mother. "I can't take care of my children while working. But this job is not easy to give up. I used to wonder between work and family, but then I understood, if I didn't exist, my child wouldn't be able to survive," she said. That silent sacrifice was only recognized by her daughter when she grew up: "Now is my child to blame: 'Why did you leave your child at home in the past?'. But I believe your child understands that I did what was necessary to raise him up."
