The 2006 Cai Luong play "Tears of Deep Love" was directed by Meritorious Artist Ca Le Hong and performed at the 5B Experimental Cai Luong Club stage of the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association.

The content revolves around a business director who, because of his passion for the beauty of young women, ruined his own life and the future of his children. Not only that, he also harmed an honest young man, causing his mother, a teacher, to suffer. People's Artist Phuong Loan plays the role of teacher Dung. She does not believe that her son is a murderer, so she seeks justice to prove her son's innocence.

Reprising an old role is nothing new in the theater world, but with a character that has brought her career a noble award, the main judges of which are readers of the Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper, People's Artist Phuong Loan is very excited, looking forward to the day she can fully experience this role.

The most beautiful thing is the mutual love, gratitude to those who have contributed to society through the program "Mai Vang Tri An" (formerly "Mai Vang Nhan Ai"), I have also accompanied the organizing committee many times to hand over the awards to artists who are facing difficult circumstances".
