Journey of fighting with small family

When diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024, singer Hong Nhung faced a difficult decision: postpone surgery to perform the program Hong Nhung sings about Hanoi or prioritize health.

Sharing with VietNamNet , Hong Nhung said that when she received the diagnosis of a serious illness, the show at Ho Guom Theater had sold 3/4 of the tickets, all of which were sold out more than 3 weeks before the performance date. With the support of the doctors, the female singer was determined to carry out the show with director Cao Trung Hieu and music director Hoai Sa with more than 130 actors participating.

For any woman when having a health problem, the first thing that comes to mind is always her children, especially single mothers like Hong Nhung. Luckily, she was helped by psychologists on how to talk to her 13-year-old twins in the most appropriate way.

With the guidance of a psychologist, Hong Nhung has a gentle way of sharing with her children. The two children are quite mature for their age, so although they love and worry about their mother, they are not sentimental. The children choose music for Hong Nhung to listen to and draw pictures for their mother. The two children have become a great source of motivation for the female singer to get through the treatment period.

Hong Nhung and her three children traveled in New Zealand.

During her journey fighting illness, music became a "salvation" for Hong Nhung. She believes that artists are lucky because the art they passionately pursue will always be a salvation in life. Even when in the hospital, the female singer continued to compose.

With her current health condition, she must have a special way to take care of herself with the help of a doctor, but the most important thing is still her spirit. Hong Nhung focuses on music, combining yoga and meditation, so she is completely confident that she will do her job well.

New Perceptions of Life and Art

After a difficult journey, Hong Nhung's outlook on life has changed a lot. She realized that when healthy, people think life has too many problems. But when they have a terminal illness, they see that there is only one problem - health. Now, health is the top priority and also the message Hong Nhung wants to spread.

Sharing with VietNamNet , after the surgery, Hong Nhung had regular check-ups - first every 3 months, then every 6 months. The doctor always changed the medicine to help her health at its best. Luckily, Hong Nhung still practiced singing every day, did yoga, and meditated so she could maintain her singing voice, even expanding her vocal range.

In addition to her musical career, Hong Nhung realized that she needed and wanted to carry out an equally important mission: spreading a positive spirit to women, a message of encouragement for regular health check-ups and cancer screening. For women, breast cancer and uterine cancer occur a lot, but if detected early, the cure rate is very high.

The song Pink Bow was composed by Hong Nhung at the hospital for women in similar situations. The song was recorded with 11 voices with the message of encouraging women to regularly go for health check-ups and cancer screening, and encouraging those who are unlucky enough to have the disease that they are not alone.

Hong Nhung has just returned in 2025 with Tu moi - a completely new color. The song was co-written by her with Lope Pham and Trung Tran, performed at the Hanoi Opera House. She said that perhaps the crew wrote a small page in the history of MV filming when the youthful music genre combined with classical visual performances in a place that has become a heritage.

This is Hong Nhung's future direction - she really wants to collaborate with young artists. Right after Tu moi, she was happy to work with DTAP on the work Dieu bi thuoc nho me with rapper Den Vau.

This Tet holiday, Hong Nhung will release an album of songs about Hanoi called Hanoi is me with a symphony orchestra. The album will include both old and new songs about Hanoi, released on CD and digital music platforms.
