Huynh Hieu Minh recently attracted attention when sharing about his decision to change priorities in life. The actor said that he moved his parents from Beijing to Shanghai to live to conveniently take care of and accompany his son Tieu Hai Mien during his school years.
According to Huynh Hieu Minh's sharing at a fashion event, moving is not a temporary decision but a long-term settlement plan. After many years of constantly moving between cities due to work, he wants to stabilize his life to spend more time with his family.
The actor said that in the past he often had to participate in film crews in many different localities. A tight schedule makes time for his son quite limited, most of which can only be spent chatting on the phone or video calls.
At one point, Tieu Hai Mien once asked her father: "Why are you always on the phone?". This short question made Huynh Hieu Minh think a lot and became the motivation for him to adjust his life and work.
Since then, the actor has actively narrowed his schedule, limiting receiving projects that require long filming days in Shanghai. He has also refused many job offers if not really necessary, in order to ensure he can take his children to school and accompany them in daily life.
After divorcing actress Angelababy in 2022, Huynh Hieu Minh and his ex-wife still receive a lot of public attention about how to take care of their son. However, both are quite secretive, rarely sharing pictures or building a "happy family" image on social networks.
In recent years, Huynh Hieu Minh has repeatedly expressed the view that his child's maturity is something that cannot be missed. He believes that no matter how important a career is, it cannot compensate for the childhood time that has passed.
At the age of 49, the actor still maintains his appeal in the Chinese entertainment industry with many film and television projects and reality TV shows. However, he said that he no longer aims to chase after the number of works as before but prioritizes balancing work and personal life.
Huynh Hieu Minh's sharing quickly received many positive feedbacks from fans. Many viewers believe that a famous artist actively reducing workload to spend time with their children is a commendable choice.
Besides, there are also comments that in the context that many artists often have to be away from their families due to tight schedules, Huynh Hieu Minh's decision shows that he is entering a new stage of life, when the role of a father is put first. This also reflects the trend that more and more artists choose to balance between career and family instead of pursuing a continuous work schedule as before.
