Artist Minh Vương celebrates father's 95th birthday
Renowned Vietnamese Cải lương artist NSND Minh Vương recently hosted a celebration for his father’s 95th birthday and his parents' 77th wedding anniversary. The event was notable as the 76-year-old artist still has both parents living, who remain healthy and mentally alert despite having resided in Australia.
During the ceremony, Minh Vương performed a traditional ‘vọng cổ’ song for his father, becoming visibly emotional. His father, originally from Cần Giuộc, Long An, traveled from Australia to Vietnam for the occasion. In a speech, the elder expressed his gratitude to guests and noted that celebrating his milestone birthday in his homeland was a profound honor. The celebration was attended by colleagues, friends, and family members who traveled from various countries including Canada, the US, and the Netherlands.
