Recently, Trieu Le Dinh posted on social networks a painting of "city planning map" drawn by her 6-year-old son - Tuong Tuong - himself. Young strokes sketched high-rise buildings, bridges, street lights, and even painted quite accurate details of the Lupu Bridge in Shanghai.
The actress wrote along with the hashtag "Tieu thanh dai su" - the movie she starred in is being broadcast on CCTV-8.
In the film, Trieu Le Dinh plays grassroots official Ly Thu Binh, along with Trinh Duc Thanh (Huynh Hieu Minh) leading thousands of people in Nguyet Hai town to get rich, from a deserted alluvial ground to a new urban area.
Baby Tuong Tuong's painting immediately made viewers associate with the movie "Tieu thanh dai su". However, the actress's actions also caused controversy. Many opinions suggest that Trieu Le Dinh is taking advantage of her son to promote a movie that is continuously declining in ratings after a few days of airing.
Faced with mixed opinions, Trieu Le Dinh deleted the post after only a few hours. Fans support Trieu Le Dinh's decision, and also believe that quickly deleting the post when there are mixed opinions proves "the mother's instinct to protect her child".
On the other hand, there have been netizens following behind-the-scenes details to guess the actress's family address, so removing the article is necessary.
Fans recalled the story last year, when Trieu Le Dinh took her child to see a play and was secretly photographed. At that time, she directly posted an article requesting the media to stop spreading images of minors.
Therefore, fans refute, there is no story of Zhao Liying taking advantage of her son to promote the work; Chiang Juong's picture with the movie "Little Story" is completely a coincidence.
The controversy also caused audiences to discuss the parenting methods of Trieu Le Dinh and Phung Thieu Phong after the divorce. When their marriage broke down in 2021, the two actors did not compete for custody, but applied the "supporting childcare" model. Baby Tuong Tuong grew up under the protection and nurturing of both his father and mother.
The media believes that Phung Thieu Phong and Trieu Le Dinh's "supporting childcare" method is a role model in the entertainment industry. When one person is busy with work, the other automatically takes over to take care of the child, even establishing a private chat group to update every moment of childhood.
In 2025, a family of 3 was caught having dinner together, although divorced, Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng still chatted naturally.
The image of Tuong Tuong happily holding hands with both his father and mother has broken the prejudice of "divorce must become enemy". Netizens even joked: "This is the most harmonious ex-husband and ex-wife in showbiz".
In a recent interview with Elle, Trieu Le Dinh said that material things are important, but being present and accompanying her child is even more important. The most precious thing she can give her child is the time spent with her child.
I am willing to do many practical things for the sake of a child's maturity, not just talking nonsense, but actually acting, even if it is difficult, I have to do it myself," the actress said.
Like most other mothers, she will also be confused, even worried at the choices, afraid that she has not found the best solution for her child. But she does not accept being left behind, nor does she want to entrust the entire child raising process to others.
