Meritorious Artist Chi Trung Born in 1961, he is known and loved by the audience through many roles on television and on stage. In addition, he also impressed fans through the role of Tao Giao Thong in the program Meet at the end of the year.
In his personal life, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung has two children, Minh Trung and Huyen Trang. Although his father is famous, Minh Trung’s son did not follow in Chi Trung’s footsteps but decided to become a professional translator.
On his personal page, Meritorious Artist Chi Trung posted a video of him confiding in his son Minh Trung. The two discussed many topics, including the media. “Media is very important, but what kind of media is clean media? People working in the media such as journalists, writers and even us, each contribute a little to bring clean energy to life,” Chi Trung shared.
Also in this short clip, Chi Trung’s son Minh Trung explained why he did not follow his father’s career. “My father is famous, so I also want to make my own mark in my career. I rely on my strengths, which are books and foreign language skills. The job of translating books can help me make a certain highlight and create some value to help young people,” Minh Trung said.

Chi Trung also shared his worries when his son decided to quit his job with a salary four times higher than his to switch to becoming a translator. “I consider it a way to invest in work and career. Currently, my son is using short-term income to support long-term income. He also does business, but he sells words. His capital is his heart and mind,” said Meritorious Artist Chi Trung’s son.
At the end of the story, Chi Trung “complained” because his son “argued” even though he was already a father. He said: “Each person has a different job, everyone’s life is the same, it’s very bad. My father is People’s Artist Quy Duong I sing very well but I don’t need to sing well. My son is the same. He went to see me perform at the Youth Theater. The whole family laughed but he didn’t laugh. When I asked him when he came back, he only commented with one word ‘okay’. That’s what motivated me to improve the next time.”
