Medium, at the program Memory train, elite artist Dieu Hien talked about her first singing career.
I don’t come back, I just sit and cry
My family was poor that day, with 7 siblings, so I couldn’t go to school, couldn’t read. But I am very passionate about singing cai luong, so I asked my mother to let me join the cai luong group to learn to sing, but my mother refused.
I begged my mother for many years but could not. One day, my mother was so angry that she threw out two sets of clothes, telling me to go wherever I wanted. I risked taking my clothes away. That year, I was only 14 years old.
At that time, I was determined to go because I couldn’t live in poverty forever. I didn’t even have a house to live in. I had to jostle on the boat and sink when I didn’t know.
I went to Phu Nhuan until I saw a communal house with a bunch of people practicing. I got closer to find out that the group of Orchid Xuan Lieu, the boss, Uncle Seven Xuan Lieu, was sitting and writing something on the table.
I waited for the group to finish the rehearsal and then climbed onto the stage and said, “Uncle, please let me go with the troupe.”
The showman looked at me and said in surprise: “Where did you come from to ask to follow the troupe? What do you sing when you look black and thin?”.
With that, he left, leaving me to sit. A sister in the group named Hue loved me, asked me about it, then let me follow her to look after her children. I just need to be happy to follow the troupe, so I quickly agreed. I miss my mom so much but I decided not to come back, I just sat there and cried.
Voting union cut both me and him 5 days salary
I went for more than a month when the singing group disbanded. In the group at that time, there was Ms. Cuc who was a disciple of the dance master Minh Cao. He is going to the city to recruit a troupe of dancers. She asked me to come and I followed her.
My sister and I took the train to Tuy Hoa to join Mr. Minh Cao’s Lotus group. When he saw me, he also exclaimed: “This little girl is both black and thin, who is there to stand here, dance with whom?”.
Fortunately, Thanh on the dance team saw it and said, “It’s easy for him to be so sick. You just let him pair up with me and I’ll tutor him.”
The teacher agreed, so I was allowed to join the troupe to learn dance. In the evening, I was allowed to play the role of a maid to go on stage. One day, I was called by comedian Cap to be a soldier. I also went to the stage, hugged the gun and shot this and that, and gradually got used to it.
Mr. Cap performed the death scene and lay on top of me. I was so angry, but I couldn’t do anything, so I scratched my back with my fingernails, making him unable to bear to eat. After the performance, the group elected to cut both me and him for 5 days’ salary because of the lack of serious acting.
Mr. Cap was in love with the other female dancer, so every day he took out the piano to play for her and used the excuse to get to know her. I listened in the back and then counted the beat to feel the music myself.
One day, Cuc was no longer interested, so she stopped singing. I saw that he was sad, so I said: “Uncle, try to play the song for me”. He agreed and played for me.
I just raised my voice to sing a sentence, all the members of the crew who were sleeping had to wake up. Everyone was surprised. Since then, I learned how to sing by the instrument and started to follow the path of Ca cai luong.
