Sharing with reporters, artist Van Dung said, what she remembers most about Tet is sitting and wrapping banh chung with her family, anxiously checking to see if the cake is cooked or not, then baking potatoes and corn on the wood stove. … but it’s been 21 years since she was able to wrap and boil banh chung anymore because she lives in a street or high-rise apartment building, so she doesn’t have space to cook banh chung.
“I belong to the 7X generation, so I often reminisce about the old days. At that time, everything was lacking. When I saw a piece of orange that people had finished eating, I also picked up the peel to “crush” it in my mouth to eat because I was so hungry. At that time, If you have 1 piece of bread, just dip it in milk and eat it sparingly. The whole family has to go shopping with coupons, lining up from 3am to buy 1-2 ounces of meat, 1 small fish, which is also delicious and delicious. precious,” the female artist recounted.
Van Dung added that even though there were many deprivations, at that time, she did not feel miserable, but felt very happy and had many stories to tell everyone.
“After going through difficult times, I find that I have many memories. Our generation often says “the old days…” because we miss them. On Tet, I still crave to wrap and cook banh chung, light firecrackers… these memories have changed. raised me,” she said.
Van Dung added that Tet is now much more modern and complete, so people are not too pressured to go shopping for Tet anymore. This year, her house has peach branches, kumquat trees, sunflowers, dahlias, sweet chung cakes, sausages, candies… everything is ready to welcome the new year.
“Every year I don’t have a day off until the 29th of Tet. When I get home I go to bed because I’m tired, and don’t go shopping until the 30th of Tet. But this year I get to take a break earlier, so Tet is a bit more relaxing. According to To me, Tet today is good but in the past it also had unforgettable fun,” Van Dung confided.

Medical Kitchenette said that in previous years, every night on the 30th of Tet, she would turn on the TV to watch Kitchen God. She is also very nervous to see how the audience reacts after the show. On the morning of the 1st, she often goes on social networks to see people commenting on Tao Quan.
“When I read the audience’s comments, my heart also pounded to see what the audience said about Tao Quan. If you do well, you’ll go out with a “cool face” and if you don’t do well, you’ll go out “with your face down.” (laughs). But I also understand that life has ups and downs, ups and downs, and artists have times when they perform well and sometimes they perform not so well,” she shared.
Artist Van Dung added that this year she is also watching Tao Quan 2024 to see how the young people perform.
“Tao Quan is a family, whether I participate or not, I still care about the program, because it is the achievement of so many people. I watch to encourage my brothers, and then write a comment about the program.” Again.
The crew of Tao Quan 2024 are all familiar actors, many adults from the Youth Theater such as Duy Nam, Ly Chi Huy, Ba Anh, Tu Oanh, Manh Dung… so I have to encourage my colleagues. “, she said.
The female artist further shared that this year she feels happier because her son Long Vu has participated in a number of television series such as: War without borders, Not afraid to marry just one reason… and is also popular with the audience. “know face and name”.
She said, at first her son was also very worried about going to many castings (auditioning) but not being chosen: He was very impatient, kept asking: “Why wasn’t I called to work in the movie, or am I ugly?” I’m so handsome that no one asked me to act, mom?”.
“I just said: “Just calm down, my child, for 4 years of studying I was not invited by anyone, for 4 years working at the Youth Theater no one called me to make a movie, after that I was invited to act in skits or movies. short. I’m just afraid that I don’t have the ability. Artists like Cong Ly, Quang Thang, Truong Giang, Mac Van Khoa… are not handsome but still make movies because of their talent and charm.” Artist Van Dung recounted.
Van Dung said, she has never asked for a role for her son, she wants her son to succeed on his own: “If you don’t have talent and have to rely on your mother, if you perform poorly, the audience will criticize you.” Right away, I let my child “swim on his own”. If he doesn’t do well or act well, he has to make an effort, but I don’t interfere.”

Van Dung admitted that her son is very passionate about acting. Every time he goes to film, Long Vu proactively wakes up early, prepares personal belongings and clothes to be on the film crew.
“I’m independent and love my job very much. Before when I went to make a movie, I didn’t say anything to my mom when I came home, but after that, my uncles said, “So you didn’t ask mom anything about movies?” Master about acting, why didn’t you ask?” After that, Long Vu often told his mother when he came home from the movie.
I also told the crew how it was today and how it went. I told you, just watch more Korean and Chinese movies, watch movie stars act and study… then you will gradually succeed,” the female artist told about her son.
Van Dung said, Long Vu has a passion for the profession and has a unique style “unlike anyone else”, like her sister in the past: “I always tell my children: If there is no opportunity, you must find opportunities, so Long Vu Go to movie casting a lot.
There was a time when I failed, but I encouraged him. I am now a “grain of sand”, if I sit in one place waiting for someone to invite me to do a movie, it will be very difficult. A few wins, that’s an opportunity for you to express yourself.”
