Meritorious Artist Chi Trung told Dan Tri reporter that he was very peaceful when he retired and was not disappointed at all because he lived a normal life like “weighing sugar in a milk carton”. He has little ambition, does not compete, especially when it comes to fame and fortune.
“I worked hard while at the Youth Theater, I have no doubt that I will change the stage, but the Youth Theater has a long tradition, I believe that the next generation will do well.
Since retiring, if they ask, I answer. I don’t want to get too deeply involved in the Theater’s work because each person has their own function. Artist Si Tien is someone I have tutored for 26 years, I believe he will be a good Director,” he said.
At the age of 63, artist Chi Trung is happy with his girlfriend 18 years younger, runner-up Y Lan. He said, I’m lucky to find a soulmate and understanding friend by my side.
Since having a new love, artist Chi Trung has become much younger, he often travels and goes out with his girlfriend. Recently, the two had a trip to China and Australia.
Chi Trung is also ready to stand up and protect his girlfriend from comments and rumors from netizens.
Talking about love at the age of over 60, he said: “Loving someone is like being 18 years old, at any age you have to love young. I’m still jealous and love passionately (laughs). We go out together, Let’s get beautiful together and go to the movies.
At this age, both Lan and I don’t have many choices. We all look towards each other and have the same opinion that living well, treating each other with kindness, and bringing each other joy is enough.”

The male artist said that he also told his relatives to live well for the next 3 years, then move on, so he and his girlfriend often travel to relieve the stress in life.
“Traveling is very cheap, we don’t need as much money as people say, so if we can arrange the time, we will go,” he confided.
Meritorious Artist Chi Trung finds himself quieter than when he was young. Currently, he has a happy life with his girlfriend.
“If I’m not working on a movie, I go to coffee with my teaching girlfriend early, at 9 a.m. she comes back to work, I read books and spend time raising birds, chickens, dogs and rabbits, at 11 a.m. working out, then There to eat. After taking a nap, I continued to have the same cycle.
In the evening, go out to eat at a restaurant and have coffee with friends. I feel like I should enjoy myself, for decades I have forgotten myself, so now I will live for myself. I wish I had more health to do the things I feel comfortable with,” “Traffic Apple” said.
The male artist said he does not care about gossip. “Artists often get “stoned”, but we are used to it. I think, actors build their image not with flattering comments from the audience but with good roles, by his personality.
If you keep arguing with your audience on social networks, it will be very tiring. Now, I directly block (block personal pages – PV) of aggressive viewers. At this age, I am immune to “stoned” words,” he confided.
