On the afternoon of July 22, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Lien, daughter of artist Thanh The, announced the good news: "After more than 40 years, my mother has just been granted a citizen identification card by Gia Dinh Ward Police. My family would like to thank police officer Vinh for his dedicated guidance, help, and creating all the best conditions for my mother to get a citizen identification card."

Double joy of artist Thanh The

In the midst of the dynamic modern life, there are artists who quietly go through decades in the spotlight and then quietly fade into the darkness behind the scenes. One of the stories that touched people's hearts recently is the case of artist Thanh The - female general of the Huynh Long classical opera troupe - who has just been granted a citizen identification card after more than 40 years without identification papers, and officially receives a monthly allowance from the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee.

"My mother has been on the list of beneficiaries for many years, but because she does not have a citizen ID card, she has not received it. The Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association and the Criticism Board have given her enthusiastic guidance. This afternoon, I took my mother to the bank to get a new card, and at the same time authorized me to receive the monthly subsidy salary from the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee for poor artists, 2.6 million VND per month. My mother is very happy" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Lien said emotionally.

Not only that, her family will be refunded an amount of more than 18 million VND in the past, calculated from the day artist Thanh The received the subsidy, but because she did not have a citizen identification card, the money is still in her account.

Reviving the reputation of an artist's life

After her son – Meritorious Artist Thanh Dung – passed away due to COVID-19, her family’s situation became even more difficult. She lives thanks to the care of her daughter, Nguyen Thi Thanh Lien, who also works as an actress performing at Ky Yen communal house ceremonies but only has occasional shows.

The worry about medicine and daily activities became a constant burden, while old age and illness eroded her health.

Thought to have been forgotten, she received responsible help from Gia Dinh ward police, bringing a turning point to her life.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Lien was moved to share her deep gratitude to the police officers of Gia Dinh ward, who quickly supported artist Thanh The to get a citizen identification card after more than 40 years without documents.

So that the artist is not lonely

That journey would not have been complete without the silent but determined support of individuals in the theater industry. The Theory and Criticism Board of the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association, especially journalist-director Thanh Hiep (Head of the Board) and author Nguyen Trung (Chief of the Association's Office) - directly guided and supported artist Thanh The's family in connecting with the authorities.

Previously, the hardship of artist Thanh The touched the hearts of the community. Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long organized a charity concert to raise funds to help her pay for medical treatment. Previously, the program "Mai Vang Nhan Ai" of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper also promptly visited, encouraged and gave her support money.

The citizen identification card that artist Thanh The has just received is not just an administrative document. It is a symbol of recognition, a milestone to restore the identity of an artist who once lived and devoted himself to the traditional stage.

It also opens up opportunities for proper care for elderly artists living in difficult circumstances – the "living assets" of the national art and culture.
