"Every year I return to my hometown to celebrate my mother's death anniversary, then take the opportunity to visit the veteran artists at this meaningful communal house. This year I cried a lot because every year I feel the absence of a few familiar faces, like the sudden absence of Meritorious Artist Ngoc Huong, which makes me feel disappointed" - and artist Phuong Lien cried when she heard Meritorious Artist Dieu Hien, who is 74 years old, sing the song "Tan Quynh cries for friends" by composer Vien Chau.

Her strong, warm, lyrical voice is still enough to move the souls of the audience who love cải lương art. The city's artists' nursing home was warmed up in the joyful atmosphere of an early spring day.

"I was extremely moved when I met artist Phuong Lien. I have admired her for a long time, since I was a little girl I loved her voice. Today I get to stand on the same stage with her, performing songs for the audience of veteran artists. I feel lucky to have this special performance to join the young singers in offering respectful incense to the altar of the Ancestors at the City Artists' Retirement Center" - singer Bich Thuy said.

Artist Phuong Lien and singer Bich Thuy represented artists, singers, benefactors, and philanthropists at home and abroad to support buying Tet gifts including: food, rice, cakes and lucky money at the beginning of the year to send to veteran artists. "Bringing Tet early so that veteran artists can listen to singers and artists sing, to see themselves reliving the old singing atmosphere. I miss it so much, those who used to be attached to the troupe, the days near Tet feel their hearts flutter with nostalgia. This year, Tet really comes early to this house, because after our troupe, there will be many more troupes coming to visit the artists, to help ease the sadness of being away from the stage for many years of the souls who always think about the singing profession" - Artist Phuong Lien confided.
