According to NSND Lan Huong's sharing, the role of Ngoc Ha came to her like fate, even though at that time she was only 10 years old.
There is a detail in the movie "Hanoi Baby" that even seemed to apply to my life later. That is the scene where baby Ngoc Ha stands in front of a food store and says to the store owner, "Don't cross out my mother's name, my sister's name". Many people praised me for acting well in that scene. But in fact, I only acted according to Uncle Hai Ninh's words, I didn't understand anything. I was too young to understand everything. I didn't expect that story to apply to my life later...
...When my daughter was 5 years old, my husband and I separated (the first marriage - PV), my daughter went abroad to live with her father, because my life at that time was too poor and hard. During that time, household registration was very strictly managed. I had to make a lot of effort to keep my daughter's name in the family's household registration until now.
It's just the name in the household registration book, but I have a feeling that when my daughter's name is still there, it means she is only going on a business trip somewhere far away, and she is about to return. At that time, sitting and watching Hanoi Baby again, I deeply understood the scene of Ngoc Ha crying and saying to the food store owner, "don't cross the name of my mother, my sister". Crossing the name means mother is dead, I am dead. And the name there means mother and I are just going somewhere, lost somewhere, and will soon return" - People's Artist Lan Huong emotionally recounted.
