At the age of nearly 50, when many men are already settled with a full family, actor Ho Quang Man embarks on a special journey: becoming a single father. That decision did not come to him according to a pre-arranged script, but Ho Quang Man accepts it with all his courage and love for his daughter.
Actor Ho Quang Man was born in 1977, living in Ho Chi Minh City. He has appeared in many film projects such as: Hoa phong nguyet vu, Hoang Quy Muoi, Dac nhiem hap sao, Cho hung ...
Ho Quang Man shared with VietNamNet reporter that at the age of nearly 50, he has two great happinesses: pursuing an acting career because he finds joy and happiness when standing in front of the camera and taking care of his daughter.
Surprised but not regretful
Ho Quang Man admitted that becoming a single father came as a surprise to him, without any prior preparation. However, what kept him steadfast was his love for his child.
"I have never regretted it. Having my child by my side makes me much happier than what I have sacrificed," he confided.
The man who used to work in banking, import-export and culinary business understood that from now on, his life would no longer revolve around personal freedom but responsibility and maturity in the role of a father.
On set or in the business world, he devotes himself to his roles and work, but outside of work, Ho Quang Man returns to the role of a responsible father, taking care of every meal and sleep for his children.
There were times when he had to be away from home due to filming schedules, but he tried to call and text so that his daughter could always feel his presence. He learned to reorganize his life so that no matter how busy he was, his daughter would still be his top priority.
As a single father, Ho Quang Man is always aware of his greatest responsibility to protect his child. Sharing with VietNamNet reporter, he admitted that his biggest fear is finding someone who is compatible with him, truly loves and treats his daughter well. Heartbreaking stories about "stepmothers and stepchildren" on social networks make him even more worried.
Recently, when a three-page letter of distress from a boy abused by his stepmother caused a stir in public opinion, Ho Quang Man said he was truly heartbroken and angry. "It reminded me that this is not a small matter, but needs to be taken seriously and handled quickly and responsibly," he said. Since then, Ho Quang Man has become even more convinced that the safety of his child, both physically and mentally, must always be the top priority.
For Ho Quang Man, if there is a new relationship, everything will happen step by step carefully. He wants to give that person time to get to know each other so that the child has a chance to express his feelings, then consider further matters. Short meetings and common activities will be the way for both sides to gradually understand each other, before thinking about living together.
However, the actor also believes that because of a heartbreaking incident, we should not rush to discriminate against all "stepmothers" or "mixed-up" families.
"I believe there are still many stepparents out there who truly love their stepchildren as their own. If there is love and responsibility, a blended family can still bring happiness and a good environment for children," he said.
After many ups and downs, Ho Quang Man understood that the fear of not finding someone who is good for him and his child is real. But that does not mean he closes his heart. He just chooses to be more cautious: love comes with responsibility and the greatest responsibility is to protect his daughter.
"If there is a next step in the future, I want every decision to be observed, have a clear roadmap and have family participation," he added.
Not only stopping at personal stories, Ho Quang Man also hopes that society will pay attention, join hands to protect children and support mixed families. Because according to him, when loved and respected, children will not have to suffer more injuries that do not belong to them.
Daughter is the motivation to "rejuvenate" myself
His daughter - Ho Bao Chau (nearly 6 years old) is in need of a lot of guidance. Ho Quang Man encourages his child to be independent from an early age, participate in extracurricular activities, even join fashion shows to help her gain confidence. He also relies on the support of his family, from grandparents to his sister, to feel more secure when he is away from home.
In particular, he not only raises his children with material things but also with his example. Ho Quang Man believes that the most important thing is to teach children to love, live kindly and responsibly.
"I have to be both firm to discipline and gentle like a mother so that my child feels cared for. That is the balance I always try to maintain," he shared.
In Ho Quang Man's eyes, his daughter is the driving force that makes him "rejuvenate" himself. He reads books and learns more to be able to answer his daughter's naive questions. Not only a father, he also wants to be a companion so that his daughter can share everything.
That obvious change helps him look at life more lightly. If before he was burdened with making a lot of money, now happiness is simply seeing his child smile every day, and see him grow up healthy.
Currently, Ho Quang Man said he is satisfied with what he has and has no intention of finding a life partner or a mother for his daughter. For him, happiness does not lie in distant things but exists in every moment of raising and accompanying his children.
