After this role, People's Artist Thanh Thuy was continuously invited to participate in many films, including the role of Le Mai (a Vietnamese girl of Chinese origin) in the TV series "Dat Khach".
People's Artist Thanh Thuy also affirmed her acting ability through the 2 characters Ngoc Lan, Ngoc Hoa in the multi-episode TV series "Butterfly Eyes" directed by Pham Ngoc Chau.
Not only successful in the field of film, People's Artist Thanh Thuy is also associated with traditional revolutionary music. The song "Gratitude to Sister Vo Thi Sau" has been considered a performance associated with the female artist's name every time she appears on stage for many years.
In addition, many musical works performed by NSND Thanh Thuy are loved by a large audience such as: Viếng lăng Bác, Miền Nam nhớ mãi ơn Người, Gần lắm Trường Sa, Xuân chiến khu, Anh Ba Hưng, Người là niềm tin tất thắng...
Recently, at the launching ceremony of the movie project "Red Land", the production crew said that NSND Thanh Thuy has special companionship with the new work. The specific role of the female artist is still kept secret. Notably, the song "Gratitude to Ms. Vo Thi Sau" once associated with the old movie version will also continue to appear in "Red Land", as a connection between two generations of cinema.
