Chat with reporters People intellectual, Minh Du said Tet is an occasion filled with many emotions in his heart. Years ago, when he was still burdened with "food, clothes and money", he had to go away to perform on New Year's Eve. During the moments when he should have been with his family, the actor was walking on the streets, making himself feel sad.
"Western provinces often shoot off fireworks to celebrate New Year's Eve earlier, so around 22 p.m., after the performance, I moved back to Ho Chi Minh City. Looking at the deserted street outside, it was over 12:30 and still not home, I wanted to cry.
That's why, in recent years, I have only performed on stage to serve the audience, and no longer perform on New Year's Eve to spend time with my family," Minh Du said.
