Moderation keeps me healthy for a long time

On this occasion, artist Minh Canh had an intimate exchange with the press. He is 86 years old but still very lucid, gentle and polite, speaking even with younger people, but always respectful, gentle, humble, true to the old Saigon people. He said that he had been to the US for 18 years, sometimes going to shows and singing at pagodas; On days when he did not sing, or when he did not receive guests, he recited the Buddha’s name all the time, correctly reciting the four postures of walking, standing, lying, and sitting. He recited Buddha’s name for more than 40 years, and ate in moderation, without wasting energy. He said: “We must respect our body, do not destroy or spoil it with unhealthy foods, or with harmful activities. Moderation keeps us healthy for a long time, adapting quickly wherever we go.” .
He also told his memories with the old lady, My Chau, Le Thuy. When Mr. Long of Kim Chung’s group split the group into many new groups, Kim Chung 2 was assigned to Minh Canh to take care of. He said: “At that time, Le Thuy, My Chau was about 16-17 years old, so I was like a big brother responsible for supporting the two girls. With My Chau, I played the main pair of peaches, easier to support. As for Le Thuy, At that time, when I was paired with Minh Phung, I assisted when recording the same song together.Later, Le Thuy was invited to go to the province too much, so she lost the record market, the owner had to call other singers. When Le Thuy returned to the city, I took her through a new company, so she regained her name in the record market, so she said thank you, but I just thought of myself as a colleague. , uncare”. Indeed, it is that grace that this time People’s Artist Le Thuy sang for his live show, but normally she rarely accepts.

Minh Canh choked up in tears during the last live show, because he was so touched by the audience’s love. He said that if he couldn’t hold back, he would have cried. And he was even more surprised when the audience asked for a second show. Therefore, the manager Gia Bao rushed to the practice floor, so that in just 3 weeks everyone had to finish the story, decoration and design. It is indeed a “miracle” for an old artist like Minh Canh, also a miracle for cai luong in difficult times.

He has a very fresh, original and creative way of singing. His slightly long-necked singing style is also very personal, seductive and does not make listeners tired.

That is the voice that People’s Artist Thanh Tuan considers to be the golden voice of the Vietnamese cai luong village.

Thanh Tuan said that when he was 15, 16 years old, he followed artist Minh Canh on tour.

It has been almost 70 years since he escaped, but he still remembers the image of the close “brother Minh Canh”, who keeps singing and calls for 4 or 5 small children like Thanh Tuan to go to the front of the communal house to teach singing, to teach more about the right ways. sword to act out the swordplay script.

It can be said that Minh Canh is not a beautiful double like Minh Vuong and Minh Phung, but his voice is the “guarantee” for the audience to fall in love with.in his hometown

On the night of July 15, the Ben Thanh Theater’s auditorium was almost full. Many audiences from Hanoi, Hoi An, Da Nang, Nha Trang, the western provinces … did not manage to book tickets to Ho Chi Minh City to hear the voice of “Emperor Vong Co” Minh Canh.

Minh Canh cried for happiness

When witnessing the audience’s love for him was so warm, artist Minh Canh couldn’t help but burst into tears on stage.

He shared that he did not expect that at the age of 86 he could still step on the stage to sing for the audience and still be so loved by the audience.

Mr. Gia Bao shared that before artist Minh Canh returned to Vietnam, he unfortunately fell, so his leg joints have not recovered and are still weak.

Therefore, in many scenes, there must be two mass actors close to him to help him move on stage.

However, when interacting with the audience, Gia Bao asked how is his health, he replied very humorously: “It’s okay during the day. And tonight because we are in the theater, we have a roof, so it’s okay. sure… it’s okay!”

He expressed that when he was invited to come here to sing cai luong, he was very happy because of the concept: “If you listen to the dividend, it is still the old song, the Vietnamese roots are still there!”.
