Duong Trieu Vu writes about Hoai Linh's brother: From a salary of 50 USD to unexpected storms

For the first time, Duong Trieu Vu stood and observed an entire show of his brother from backstage, recording his true and profound emotions.

"Just standing quietly behind like that, close enough to see clearly the wrinkles, the age spots on his arms... People kept walking back and forth, running back and forth, hurriedly, hurriedly on stage, backstage, like memories from more than 30 years ago were rushing back..." - Duong Trieu Vu emotionally wrote.

Looking back on the past, Duong Trieu Vu recalled the years when his family first came to America. At that time, Hoai Linh and one of Duong Trieu Vu's sisters sat down to discuss and decided to put aside their own dreams to take care of their younger siblings.

Hoai Linh did all kinds of jobs from filing nails, fortune telling at the market to picking vegetables, chopping meat to make a living. The hardships of the older brother at that time, the youngest brother was too young to fully understand. The turning point in Hoai Linh's career came when he met Trizzie Phuong Trinh and moved to California. From small skits with a salary of 50 USD, fate brought him to meet artist Van Son, creating a famous comedy duo at that time.

Duong Trieu Vu recalls a memorable memory of the time he was 11 years old, the first time he went from Florida to California to visit his brother alone. At that time, Hoai Linh gave him 100 USD to go out and took him shopping for clothes. "At that time, Anh Bon (Hoai Linh's nickname) was very stylish and fashionable, not like now! He often wore a Versace shirt with a striking yellow color, had long hair but was quiet and thoughtful!" , Duong Trieu Vu recalls.

Talking about his brother's turbulent period a few years ago, Duong Trieu Vu has a positive view: "Natural disasters, man-made disasters - must endure! Life is always a fair balance! After all, after the disaster, what did he gain and what did he lose? This depends on how he looks at it... but one thing Vu knows is that the family gets to welcome Hoai Linh from more than 30 years ago back home."

Duong Trieu Vu shared his joy when seeing Hoai Linh now happily chatting, confiding, occasionally going out, picking green plums for him. The difficult time has passed, Hoai Linh returned to the stage with a stronger love for the profession than ever.

Duong Trieu Vu also shared a lovely memory when his brother texted him: "Hey, someone drew a chibi for me", showing that Hoai Linh's optimism and love for his profession have not diminished. Through Duong Trieu Vu's confidences, Hoai Linh seems to have overcome all ups and downs to continue to contribute to art with all his passion and enthusiasm.
