Editorial: Behind every successful man is always the shadow of a woman. Behind the halo of famous female artists in Vietnamese showbiz, there is always the support of wonderful mothers. Although they come from different backgrounds and circumstances, they have one thing in common: they always love, support and accompany their children on every path of life full of halo but also many pressures and sacrifices. On the occasion of October 20, VietNamNet introduces a series of articles about the mothers of Vietnamese stars with their shares revealed to the public for the first time.

Behind the success of Ho Ngoc Ha, there is always the shadow of a woman. That is Ms. Ngoc Huong - the singer's biological mother.

At the age of nearly 70, Ms. Ngoc Huong has a fulfilled life, enjoying life with her children and grandchildren as well as having a husband who has accompanied her for nearly 50 years.

On the occasion of Vietnamese Women's Day October 20, she confided to VietNamNet her thoughts about her famous daughter and her simple old age life, the secret to spreading positive energy to many people.

Witness to Ha Ho's success and low points

Mrs. Huong said   Ho Ngoc Ha moved from the North to the South in 2002 to develop her artistic career. Feeling sorry for her young son who had to live alone in a foreign land, she discussed with her husband the decision to sell all their house in the countryside and move to Ho Chi Minh City to be near their son.

She used the money she saved to buy land, then worked hard to save up to build a house for the whole family to live in. For decades, Mrs. Huong single-handedly took care of her husband and children, from meals to daily activities. Later, when Ha Ho got married, she still took care of and helped her children take care of their grandchildren.

Ho Ngoc Ha always proudly considers her mother as her greatest source of inspiration, while Mrs. Ngoc Huong places a lot of trust in her daughter. In her eyes, her daughter is lucky to be endowed by God with intelligence, sensitivity and love.

The singer of Ca mot troi thuong nho is independent, individualistic, yet skillful and gentle. She often uses her own experiences and knowledge to teach and share with her children on the journey of life.

Ha Ho is famous for being brave in the face of storms. Are there any difficult moments of her daughter that make her worried and sad? Mrs. Huong said that more than anyone, she understands her daughter very well. She has witnessed all the joys and sorrows, both the highs and lows of her daughter's success.

Ms. Huong accepts all the public comments and opinions about Ha Ho, whether they are praise or criticism. To her, society is diverse and it is normal for each person to have different thoughts and ideas.

Ms. Ngoc Huong is a strong support, encouraging Ha Ho's daughter to overcome the incident.

Mrs. Huong advised her children to live their lives well. Put aside things that are not within their control and spend time doing other good things.

As an officer living in a military environment, Ms. Huong was trained to be steadfast in facing everything.

Mrs. Ngoc Huong is reassured to see that Ha Ho has now grown up. She tells her daughter to cherish everyone's feelings, to live and work hard so that each day passes fully, without wasting it.

Children and grandchildren celebrated Mrs. Ngoc Huong's birthday on October 10.

Mrs. Ngoc Huong also has affection for her son-in-law - Kim Ly. In her eyes, the actor is a sentimental person, worthy of being a solid support for Ha Ho and her children to rely on.

Having lived in the West and been accustomed to freedom, the actor and his wife's parents had an unimaginable harmony when living together. Every day, they gathered to eat, chat and bond through family activities.

Mrs. Huong often teased Kim Ly to diligently study Vietnamese so that the two of them could easily communicate and converse. Listening to her, the actor studied hard and now can communicate in Vietnamese with his family in daily activities.

“I often confide in Ha that marriage is fate. I always pray and hope that she will marry a husband who knows how to love and appreciate family affection.

A gentle man, not too profound and able to do everything because “no one is perfect”, gaining one thing means losing another. I am happy that Ha and Ly found each other, and even happier that they have a precious son-in-law”, she said.

Every night, Mrs. Huong always thanks God and Buddha for her lucky fate, from nothing to having a prosperous and full life like now.

Her children became famous, got married and had happy families. For a mother, that is the greatest happiness in life.

Ho Ngoc Ha's biological mother received a lot of praise and admiration because at nearly 70 years old, she is still young and full of energy.

Ms. Ngoc Huong was in poor health, growing up during the wartime when everything was lacking. After giving birth to Ho Ngoc Ha, she suffered from severe vestibular disorders and high blood fat. At the age of 40, she experienced a health incident and had to undergo several surgeries.

Mrs. Huong took medicine and actively visited doctors for a long time but did not improve. Following the recommendation of her daughter Ha Ho, she found yoga and gradually felt positive changes in her health. To date, she has been practicing sports for 14 years.

Ms. Huong often shares pictures of herself practicing yoga, with her flexible body, performing difficult poses such as standing on her head and bending her body that only long-time professional practitioners can do.

She wants to motivate people, because without health, nothing can be done. Some young people like Ms. Ngoc Huong because of her positive energy, and she is happy because at this age she is still useful and in tune with society.

Thanks to diligently exercising, Ho Ngoc Ha's mother becomes younger, healthier and more active than her real age. She actively participates in activities, goes everywhere without feeling tired or exhausted.

Mrs. Huong’s day now revolves around taking care of her grandchildren, reading scriptures, practicing yoga, taking care of the house and cooking. She maintains the habit of traveling with her family, visiting her hometown or organizing charity trips to help the poor.

The woman in her 70s also appears stylish and youthful when filming TikTok clips to catch the " trend " of young people, helping her feel fresh and full of creative energy.

“Now I just want to live in peace and happiness. Having wealth is a good thing, because not everyone can make it. Being able to earn honest money and have a peaceful life, knowing how to love and share with others, that is a precious thing,” Ms. Huong expressed.

Besides, Mrs. Huong has had a happy marriage of nearly half a century. Her husband is Mr. Ho Si An - a French-Vietnamese, a former officer in the army.

In Mrs. Huong's eyes, her husband is a gentle man who loves his wife and children with all his heart. Despite his age, he still maintains his habits and gentle behavior, making her always feel protected when he is by her side.

Mrs. Huong is always grateful to her husband because they have been together, through all the ups and downs from youth to old age.

Mrs. Huong believes that each person has a life, a destiny, sometimes smooth, sometimes bumpy.

For her, everyone should live a kind and complete life every day and try not to feel regretful or remorseful. When we try to be positive, strive and improve ourselves, we will receive the good things in life.
