Sick, lonely, at the end of life just hoping to see my child again

Vu Linh Vuong is a famous Cai Luong artist since 1975. He has shared the stage with many big names such as: Ut Bach Lan, Ha My Xuan, Phuong Tung, Minh Canh... Vu Linh Vuong is also known by many people as the "king of vinyl records" of the 70s.

However, in his old age, the male artist has a very tragic life. Sharing in the program Knock on the door to visit home , Vu Linh Vuong said he has had 4 strokes: "I have had 4 strokes. 3 years ago, I was still able to sing, but one time when I borrowed a bicycle, someone ran into me, my head needed more than 10 stitches, my pelvis was broken. The person who ran into me ran away, the police saw that and immediately took me to the emergency room.

After the accident, I was hospitalized for a month. Ms. Lan, a neighbor of artist Tai Buu Long, took care of me. She brought me food and took me to change my bandages. Some of my wounds have not healed yet."

Up to now, the male artist has difficulty moving, cannot speak clearly so he cannot sing, and has no income. The male artist said that his rented room costs 2.5 million VND, and he lives with another person: "I don't have money so sometimes people pay for me."

Sharing about his life, artist Vu Linh Vuong said: "I have a wife and a daughter who is almost 50 years old this year. My wife and I broke up when my daughter was in her 20s. Until now, we have not seen each other again and do not know where she is.

I once gave my all but it didn't work out so I just let it be, didn't want to move on. I dated a lot but didn't find anyone suitable, I also wanted to have a family but was also afraid. At that time I was still singing a lot so I wasn't sad.

I have 5 younger siblings, the youngest is over 50 this year. But to be honest, all of them are poor and still have to support their wives and children. In the past, I was the second oldest brother, I raised him to go to school, but now everyone is suffering, and being entangled with me makes him suffer even more, so I try to bear it alone. It's sad to think about it, but I comfort myself that there are still relatives and neighbors to help."

After the divorce, the male artist has been lonely for nearly 30 years, currently living with the help of neighbors.

Artist Vu Linh Vuong said that at the peak of his career, he also had assets but due to business failures, he lost everything: "Before, I also had a house and a villa. I graduated in chemistry, went from an engineer to a master's degree, and was preparing to get a doctorate but had to drop out due to illness.

I invested in my own company but failed during the COVID season. The shipment I imported from Australia was worth tens of billions of dong but they did not allow it. The goods were fresh mushrooms that were left at sea for months and spoiled.

Then I got sick and the company closed. I was passionate about my job and didn't want to quit. I didn't expect to have an accident at this age."

The male artist choked up, wishing to see his wife and children again.

After nearly 30 years of living alone, without any relatives, the male artist choked up as he told his only daughter: "Dad always misses you and your mother. If you know about this program, if you think of me, you should come see me even once before I pass away.

I know I don't have much longer to live. I just want to see you and your mother once before I leave. I've been waiting for you so much. Please try to see me once."
