She also explained that there was a time when people often hesitated to mention the family of artists. Because their lives were attached to the stage lights, a busy performance schedule, and a myriad of roles - while family needed stability, regularity, and durability like a breath.
Yet, in this seemingly contradictory rhythm of life, there are still many artists who have been preserving happiness as a part of their being – not only on stage but in their own homes.
Happiness – no need to be stereotyped
This year's Vietnamese Family Day, June 28, evokes a great message: "Happy Family - Prosperous Nation". And for artists, this is even more true.
Happiness is not about recreating old family "norms", but about understanding and sharing, about being yourself with loved ones.

People's Artist Ngoc Giau - who has devoted her whole life to the reformed theater, having played hundreds of mother roles on stage - is very simple when talking about her family: "I don't expect anything grand. As long as my children can study properly, live decently, and think of others, then I am satisfied." No need for luxury, no need for ostentation, she and her husband choose to sacrifice quietly in exchange for sweet and peaceful fruits for their children.
Young actress Cao My Chau - a bright face on the stage of Tran Huu Trang Theater - defines happiness in contrast to most of her peers. When young people are still searching for their identity and career, she chose to build a home at the age of 25, become a mother early and accept the trade-offs. But in that choice, there is no regret: She said: "Hearing the laughter of children, cooking simple meals with my husband, seeing children smile... is enough".

Their story shows that family happiness, especially that of an artist, cannot be forced into any mold. Each person has their own definition and path, as long as there is love, tolerance and trust on that path.
Tradition – modernity: Not opposition, but parallel
In the digital age, when social media, livestreaming and technology cover every moment of daily life, artists - like those who work "on air" - face more and more pressure to preserve private values. But instead of avoiding it, they learn to adapt, to reconcile tradition and modernity so that happiness remains intact, even if the form of expression changes.
Meritorious Artist Ngoc Huyen, familiar to stage and television audiences through her colorful roles in Cai Luong art, shared: "My family now doesn't need to wait for Tet to gather together. Every day is family day. Even if we are far away, just by FaceTime, the whole family can still eat together, tell stories, and laugh." A new way to connect - modern, but without losing the traditional warmth.

Meritorious Artist Le Thien chooses weekend activities such as learning to bake, cycling, going to the market with his grandchildren... as a way to "restore" the bond that has faded due to busy work and study.
"When my children are too busy studying to talk to me anymore, I understand that it's time to do something for the family, that is cooking meals for my children and grandchildren. Family is like that - not always peaceful, but it is a place where we are willing to change to hold on to each other."
When the artist keeps the fire burning in the home
If the stage is where artists sublimate, then family is where they "unburden themselves" and return to themselves. The applause in real life is no longer as important as the calls of "dad" and "mom", the grateful eyes of a partner when going through hardships together. Artists - no matter how high-flying in art - still need a place to anchor their souls.
Many artists choose to keep their family life private, because they understand: true happiness does not lie in the sparkling photos on the internet, but in every small gesture, every meal with everyone present, every phone call to ask how someone is doing when they are away on tour. And that is how they preserve it, like keeping the fire burning on stage – persistently, patiently and lovingly.

Family - is the stage of life that never closes .
Where artists do not need to play someone else's role, they just need to be themselves - with a passionate heart, with the responsibility of a husband, wife, father, mother.And when each artist is happy in their own small family, they also contribute to building a more stable society – where culture is not only present in their works, but also spreads through warm meals, tight hugs, and strong family values over the years.
