Artist Buu Khanh is elderly and currently suffering from heart disease and is hospitalized. His family is in financial difficulty, so Kim Tu Long decided to organize a program to raise funds to help Buu Khanh.

According to Kim Tu Long, artist Buu Khanh was a leading actor when he was young. Later, he switched to playing character roles.

In recent years, Mr. Khanh has actively participated in singing programs of several traditional opera and traditional opera troupes.

Including artist Ngoc Khanh's troupe and Huynh Long classical opera troupe.

Kim Tu Long also acted with Buu Khanh in several plays such as Luu Kim Dinh, Ngoc Ky Lan, Tieu Anh Phung ...

Mr. Buu Khanh has an extremely famous brother, artist Buu Truyen.

Mr. Buu Truyen came from the Minh To Children's Training Center, and was famous at the same time as artists Thanh Tong, Xuan Yen, Truong Son, Thanh Loan, Thanh The, Bach Mai...

Buu Truyen is considered a veteran and skilled traditional opera artist. Actress Ngoc Huyen was mentored by Mr. Buu Truyen and many other artists when she first started her career.

Participating in the program to help artist Buu Khanh are artists Minh Vuong, Tu Suong, Trinh Trinh, Vo Minh Lam, Ngoc Doi, Quoc Dai, Le Hau, Huy Sang, Chung Tu Long...

Kim Tu Long, do as much as you can.

Up to now, Kim Tu Long has organized 6 art programs to help artists in difficulty. These include programs to support artists Huu Tai, Kim Le Thuy, Chi Hong, etc.

He confided to Tuoi Tre Online : "Life is very unpredictable. I am 59 or 60 years old this year. There will come a time when I will grow old and no longer have the strength to work in the arts like my brothers and sisters now.

Well, I still see that I am capable, so I will do as much as I can to help my older colleagues who are having difficulties.

Doing charity work is good. Every time I finish a program and see poor artists receive small gifts, I feel really happy.

Kim Tu Long owns the Along Thai restaurant in the old District 7, so it saves on renting a performance venue. Currently, Kim Tu Long holds monthly programs, each program helps an artist in need.

He said: "The good thing is that every time I invite artists to participate, they support enthusiastically, without any calculation.

Seeing the artists volunteering to arrange their work to participate warms my heart. No one has asked for any salary yet. The love of artists is still full!

Although artist Minh Vuong is not in good health, people have recently seen him enthusiastically participating in charity shows. Not only in Kim Tu Long's show, but he also sang for a show organized by artist Que Tran.

He also often organizes small coffee meetings with former Kim Chung Group members, not only to chat and strengthen friendships, but also to listen to colleagues who are having difficulties and contribute their best to help.

Small fundraising events, not grand but imbued with affection between artists.
