Phuong Hong Thuy plays a heavy role in 29 brothers return

When deciding to remake 29 Brothers , director Thanh Hoi wanted to have many new things. Of course, the cast will have changes.

The most important role in 29 Anh Ve is the character of teacher Dieu Hoai. She is the woman who has been waiting for her husband for more than 20 years, because of the message: "29 Anh Ve…".

Twenty years of life, twenty years of youth of a woman who worked hard to raise her children alone and every 29th day of Tet, put on an old ao dai and went to the train station to wait for her husband to come home.

This is the role that left a strong impression on artist Ai Nhu. When making the new version, 29 brothers returned , there was a change in the cast. Ai Nhu is no longer Dieu Hoai, so who will take on the role of that woman full of feelings and anguish?

After much discussion, the name Phuong Hong Thuy was finally mentioned many times and everyone was satisfied: Dieu Hoai of the 2026 version is here!

Artist Ai Nhu said she had seen Phuong Hong Thuy perform in the play Raise the Red Lantern at Idecaf Stage, directed by Hoa Ha, about 20 years ago. She found that Phuong Hong Thuy's acting style was very suitable for Hoang Thai Thanh Drama Stage.

For many years now, Phuong Hong Thuy has rarely performed a full play. Every time she returns to Vietnam, she only likes to watch her colleagues perform in plays and reformed operas. Phuong Hong Thuy is Hoang Thai Thanh's "favorite friend", so every time she returns to Vietnam, she always arranges time to enjoy plays there.

When Hoang Thai Thanh proposed, Phuong Hong Thuy realized this was her favorite play, so she arranged her work and family in the US to be able to return home to practice and perform with Hoang Thai Thanh during the 2026 Tet season.

Sweet actress of the reformed opera village

In 29 Brothers Return , Phuong Hong Thuy is teacher Dieu Hoai, while artist Ai Nhu… is promoted, she plays Dieu Hoai’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Tam Ai. The two key women of the play will have confrontations that seem dramatic and fierce, but in the end, behind them are sorrow and pain.

This is the meeting that singer Thanh Duy, a "die-hard fan" of Hoang Thai Thanh, shared on his personal page and exclaimed: "This trip with Ai Nhu and Phuong Hong Thuy was shocking."

Phuong Hong Thuy is no stranger to the audience who loves Cai Luong. She is a senior of artists Ngoc Huyen, Thoai My…

Phuong Hong Thuy leaves an impression with her sweet voice, emotions and style of a very unique actress.

Audiences remember Phuong Hong Thuy well as the actress Cam Thanh, who played a role with the late artist Vu Linh in the play Co Dao Hat.

After settling in the US with her family, Phuong Hong Thuy occasionally sang at charity shows and at pagodas. In her free time, she took care of her family, planted plants, and jokingly called herself a "Gardener".
