Recently, People's Artist Thu Que shared a special joy on her personal page. The actress was personally awarded the decision to raise her salary to the rank of Colonel for the second time by senior leaders of the General Department of Politics. This good news not only makes friends and colleagues congratulate him enthusiastically, but also makes many people understand more about the long journey behind the stage lights of the talented female artist.
In 1984, when she was just over 14 years old, Thu Que left home to join the Art Troupe of Military Region 2. That is the age at which she should have lived her entire childhood like her peers. Instead, every day of the girl over 14 years old at that time starts with a phone call to wake up at 5:00 a.m. to practice physical exercise, learn singing and dancing, and prepare for tours to serve soldiers on the battlefield.
In 1985, she was chosen to play a play with her great uncles and aunts across the 6 northern border provinces.
"Eat canned meat, brown rice, shower with stream water when the winter is cold. Once, the whole group had just withdrawn from the stage (in a fight) after two hours when the enemy's fireworks exploded. We sat on a car carrying firecrackers to perform, the road was winding and bumpy. When I returned, each person was given a piece of copper sand as a gift," said People's Artist Thu Que.
At the age of 16, Thu Que was able to act in her first plastic film called: "Truyen Truyen Truyen Nhu For 17". This was also the time when she began to live in parallel between two fields, cinema and theater.
At the age of 18, malaria plagued Thu Que for many months, making her think she could not continue her career.
Since 1990, Thu Que has been associated with the Army Drama Theater, becoming one of the veteran faces of the Army theater. For the female artist, this is not just a work unit, but a home of faith, ideals and love for the profession.
In 2007, Thu Que was awarded the title of Meritorious Artist. In 2016, Thu Que received the title of People's Artist. A year later, People's Artist Thu Que was promoted to the rank of Colonel. In 2021, the Colonel's salary will be increased for the first time and for the second time in 2025.
For nearly four decades in the profession, People's Artist Thu Que has not rested. At one point, the actress was invited to act in three films at the same time. Thu Que still tirelessly practiced plays, toured, participated in festivals and all brought achievements to the unit.
In addition, People's Artist Thu Que also regularly participates in charity activities as well as taking care of herself and her family.
" has anyone said that Thu Que is just lucky to have achieved the title of People's Artist and become Colonel? The luckiest thing is that I didn't get lost by bullets...", People's Artist Thu Que said.
