Recently, on journalist Hoang Nguyen Vu’s Facebook, there was an article about actor Thuong Tin. He said that in his heyday, the famous actor had a huge amount of assets, but now he no longer has any value.
Hoang Nguyen Vu wrote: “PLAYERS” USED TO SPEND 3 GOLD/NIGHT, EARN 1 GOLD/FILM, AND NOW THEIR TOTAL ASSETS ARE ONLY A BED AND A FEW RUSSIAN ITEMS. When talking about wealthy artists in the 80s and 90s in Vietnam, the name Thuong Tin is certainly indispensable. He was famous as a “player” because every time he went out, he spent 3-4 gold bars, with as much money as oval leaves, counting all day and not finding it all. But the situation completely turned around after he got involved in gambling. At the age of 68, his total assets were only 1 bed and 1 table. The most modern equipment he owns is probably an electric kettle and an old fan. That’s how we see the terrible destructive power of these evils. If you stick to it, it’s true that “we’ll be rich for a long time but poor for a long time…”.
Reading these lines of Hoang Nguyen Vu makes everyone feel sorry for Thuong Tin. He was once a famous actor on the Vietnamese screen. However, the twilight years are gloomy because of widespread social evils and diseases. Currently, he is living under the care of his close friend, musician To Hieu.
