There is a specific day of the year for one to note the time, sounds, events, and the beauty of life. Everyone has a special day to look forward and feel that it means a lot to them. That day is 24/12, auntie Bach Tuyet’s birthday. It is the moment of welcoming her new age and wishing lots of love and peace for her and for ourselves … 
I have read an article about her performances of all time of the three remarkable characters – empress dowager Duong Van Nga, Ms. Luu, and Kieu Nguyet Nga. All of them were just for her to realize profoundly and more systematically about the world, including jobs, people, and lives … Her performances have become valuable lessons to her colleagues and students. Millions of Vietnamese audiences were touched by Ms. Luu’s suffering from troublesome circumstances, and by a sentimental Kieu. On the other hand, they were so proud of our country by empress dowager Duong Van Nga who was imposing but humble, slender but drastic…
Almost 50 years have gone by, and it is long enough to portray the depiction of the precious gem of cai luong – wholeheartedly devoting to work, being kind and understanding to life, and endeavoring wisdoms. They are the elements to those who have an opportunity to learn and to enhance their acting careers from a teacher like People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet. No word can describe the wonderful artistic values of singing and performance, acting within singing and singing within acting through her simple ways of teaching. She empowers young generations who were nourished by the breaths of cai luong. Cai luong has found one of the artists who brought fame to its traditional music.
No need to use any fancy word, but we felt the correlation with the artist who has a Zen style, and a strong willpower to learn Buddhist philosophy and to apply it in her daily life in return of her appreciation. Auntie Bach Tuyet has done it through her performances, through her art works ranging from music, poetry, painting, writing, transforming Buddhist scriptures into cai luong, and through studying Zen from Truc Lam Zen monastery. It is the art of spiritual relaxation. 
Auntie Bach Tuyet is truly a dedicated person to cai luong. She lives and loves cai luong with her every breath. She is loyal and commits to the stage. The stories, characters and lives in the plays, that she wrote and performed, highly reveal good Eastern moral values, Buddhist laws of cause and effect, and compassion. They are the fundamental moralities of a person guiding one through challenges. They are the relationships between a teacher and students, mother’s love, love for the country, and so on.
Today we are taught and nurtured with the pride of our nation through auntie Bach Tuyet’s Zen way of writing about great heroes carrying historical evidences combined with melodious traditional music. Thanks to the genuine music with a strong desire of bringing the beauty, the truth, kindness and fairness to everyone through the plays that were skilfully presented by People’s Artist Bach Tuyet.
Our thousands of good health wishes to People’s Artist – PHD Bach Tuyet. Wishing her a very happy birthday!
