In the past few days, we have also launched a support campaign, each artist in the labor sector will donate one day’s salary. We are still collecting and have not sent it to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front yet.”

People’s Artist Tong Toan Thang The above action is defamatory and dishonors the federation, while the artists are trying very hard to overcome difficulties to raise the level of Vietnamese circus.
Over the past few days, due to the impact of storm No. 3, flash floods and landslides have occurred in several localities in the North, causing serious damage to people and property.
In that context, people across the country joined hands to share the burden of their compatriots suffering losses due to floods through many different actions, such as sending money via Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee or directly go to localities to give necessities, life jackets, medicine… Many Vietnamese artists contributed hundreds of billions of dong, while Diep Lam Anh, Soobin Hoang Son, Bang Kieu, Thuy Anh, Kieu Anh… went directly to provinces such as Yen Bai, Tuyen Quang to help people.
