Huu Chau introduces the memoir "The Golden Cradle of Storms" at Ho Chi Minh City Book Street

Nghệ sĩ Hữu Châu giới thiệu bút ký — Meritorious Artist Huu Chau confided: "Since I first started my career, I never dared to think that I would be like this. Being able to confide, to intimately and gently tell each other about our lives, about our families. Thank you for all the best things that have come to this life. My book. My memories."

The event that Meritorious Artist Huu Chau is preparing to introduce a memoir titled "The Golden Cradle of Storms" has attracted the attention of artists, readers and audiences. This is considered a work not to embellish the past, but to delve into the most genuine emotions of an artist who grew up in the artistic cradle of a family with a tradition of being attached to the stage.

He is a person who has gone through many storms but has never lost his way and his love for the stage, which he often says he learned from his grandmother - Mrs. Bau Tho, the mother of the late Meritorious Artist Thanh Nga, his parents - Huu Thinh - Thanh Le; his sixth uncle - Meritorious Artist Bao Quoc... and many valuable lessons from the predecessors of the reformed stage that he cherishes, namely the Thanh Minh and Thanh Nga reformed theater troupes.

Organized by Phanbook with the theme "Artists, Stage Life", the event will take place on June 28 at Nguyen Van Binh Book Street (HCMC).

This is not just an introduction to a literary work, but a return – a return to the brilliant memories of the old Saigon stage, which was the cradle of birth and training of many generations of artists, including Meritorious Artist Huu Chau.

The book of a life devoted to the profession

"The Golden Cradle of Storms" does not hide the scars of time. In it, Meritorious Artist Huu Chau recounted for the first time his private life - from his childhood growing up amidst the glory and silence of a famous artistic family, to the years of wandering to assert himself in a changing stage, and even to the hidden corners of life that artists cannot always share with anyone.

Attending this exchange, readers and audiences will see Meritorious Artist Huu Chau, who was "fated" by the stage lights since childhood, and talk about unforgettable memories in his artistic career.

The memoir is also a place to preserve memories with his colleagues, his fellow artists who together created a golden age that cannot be repeated: from the backstage of cải lương and drama, to provincial tours, close-knit classes of students and even quiet separations.

Familiar names and images return in the pages of Meritorious Artist Huu Chau's books as his way of showing gratitude to those who "made the fire" with him.

At the upcoming book launch, audiences and readers will have the opportunity to listen to Meritorious Artist Huu Chau himself share the reasons and journey of creating the work.

More than just life and career stories, he and his colleagues, the press and the audience will look back at a brilliant but also troubled period of the stage, and ask the question: what do artists in today's era need to retain, and how do they need to move forward with a creative spirit to be worthy of the public's affection?

The book launch will be a dialogue between the artist and the audience, between the past and the present. For those who love Meritorious Artist Huu Chau and his family with three generations of artistic tradition, his books can light up the faith of young people who want to pursue an acting career and better understand the value of dedication.
