According to Decision No. 1431/QD-CTN signed by President Vo Van Thuong on November 28, 42 individuals were awarded the title of People's Artist. The list of recipients includes many artists from the field of Cai Luong (Vietnamese traditional opera), most notably Meritorious Artist Que Tran. Que Tran is also the youngest Cai Luong (Vietnamese traditional opera) artist to pass the review process for the title of People's Artist this year. Born in 1981, Que Tran comes from a family with a long tradition in the arts. She is the biological daughter of the late People's Artist Thanh Tong and a fifth-generation descendant of the Bau Thang - Minh To family of traditional opera performers. Growing up in the cradle of Cai Luong, Que Tran showed her talent early on, participating in performances with troupes such as Minh To, 284, and Dong Au Bach Long. At the age of 18, she won the Gold Medal at the Tran Huu Trang Award. Quế Trân achieved success with many roles: Phương Thảo (in the play "Dancing with the Devil" ), Nga ( in "Farewell Song" ), Phượng ( in "The Eye of Time "), and Princess Thiên Kiểu ( in "White Plum Blossoms "). She is associated with the type of tragic and sentimental female roles, often paired with famous male actors such as Meritorious Artist Vũ Linh, Kim Tử Long, Hữu Quốc, and Võ Minh Lâm. Quế Trân is also one of the most beautiful actresses in the cải lương (Vietnamese traditional opera) world, with her tall stature, oval face, and charming dimples. Professionals consider her suitable for both period dramas and social-psychological dramas. In 2011, Quế Trân was awarded the title of Meritorious Artist. Besides her artistic career, Quế Trân also had the honor of being a representative of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, 8th term (2011-2016) and 9th term (2016-2021)...
Despite her fame in the industry, the female artist keeps her private life very discreet. She has never publicly revealed a boyfriend and rarely talks about her love life. In a rare instance of sharing about her personal life, Que Tran said she wants things to happen as naturally as possible and she is always impressed by someone who is understanding and respects her passion. Her family and friends also don't pressure her to get married, so Que Tran lives quite comfortably and doesn't face any pressure. In 2016, Que Tran experienced a shock when her father, People's Artist Thanh Tong, passed away. After organizing her father's funeral, she fell into a period of sadness and despair. Que Tran even considered quitting her profession and spent a long time isolating herself at home. But thanks to the encouragement of her mother and close colleagues, she gradually regained her spirits to continue working. At 42, the female artist has chosen a peaceful life, free from the hustle and bustle. She still performs, works as an MC, occasionally models, and appears in commercials... Away from the stage, she dedicates her time to her mother and family. "I maintain an optimistic spirit and always carefully consider before making any decision. I am also friendly and cheerful with everyone around me because that helps me feel more relaxed," shared Meritorious Artist Que Tran. The female artist believes that diverse artistic activities in many fields are like a medicine that helps her "reverse aging." She feels happy and fulfilled living her passion. Perhaps that's why her spirit always feels fresh and she gives her all.
