Although I have worked with People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet many times, but every time I visit her residence I am always amazed by the beauty of the legendary like place. The house is surrounded by flowers, green lawn, and submerged in fresh air. People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet said she has a habit of coming home even if it is very late at night from long distance trips. It is because the house that she calls a Zen monastery is pretty isolated and peacefully reflected on the curvy Dong Nai river. There, she always finds herself in harmony with nature. In the fresh air with crystal dewdrops waking up from a long night sleep, there is a group of birds shyly hiding behind the bamboos, waiting to come down on the green lawn. There are also bunches of flowers showing off their beautiful colors and lotus flower fragrance all year round.
People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet has walked calmly on all walks of life. She said “Let’s look up far away at the space, that cloud will soon be gone within few seconds. Nothing exists forever, and so do we. Like the cloud, we will leave this world. Let’s take everything lightly and gently …”
Maybe because of that, she looks younger than her age. Her mind is joyful and opened. Whoever needs help that is within her abilities, she will do it with all her attention. Many generations of students have come and gone, some of them are successful on the stage, but People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet said to herself that she can’t rest yet. There are many precious lessons that she is inherited from former teachers, such as the late People’s Artist Phung Ha, People’s Artist Nam Chau… to be taught to young actors and actresses. She teaches wherever she is, for instance, in a game show or in a musical contest. She also doesn’t forget to renew herself by learning from young friends.
Many senior artists, famous play writers and criticizers agree that artist Bach Tuyet is a very special and well-known actress of the Southern cai luong. Born with a beautiful voice and many talents, none of characters can challenge her. The conversation between me and her suddenly paused, looking deeply into the past, she said “sometimes memories sadly return, from the time I joined cai luong, became famous and then witnessed cai luong falling into difficult situations. My teachers, and my friends one by one left me… such a huge emptiness …”
Arrival of December brings winter weather with it, but they are warm days for her. People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet’s birthday falls exactly on Christmas Eve day. She is filled with happiness with the love from colleagues, her students, and her loyal fans. Another happiness on her birthday is that People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet together with few of her close friends took a trip visiting the people in need. On People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet’s birthday, the committee, reporters, and workers at Sân Khấu newspaper wish her happiness, joy and peace… a spacious paradise …
