'People's Artist The Hien got married 4 times and each of them had a lot of affection for him'

Musician and People's Artist The Hien passed away suddenly due to a serious illness, leaving many colleagues shocked and saddened.

Musician The Hien passed away at 9:30 p.m. on October 1 at Military Hospital 175 (Hanh Thong Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) due to cancer, at the age of 70.

The Hien played the guitar through the crowded streets.

On his personal page, poet Le Thieu Nhon shares about the life and career of musician The Hien.

According to him, unlike musicians who received the title of People's Artist for their roles as managers of art troupes or conductors of orchestras, The Hien showed himself through his ability to perform his own songs.

He "is not handsome but wins over the crowd with his closeness and friendliness". Wherever there is a request, The Hien is ready to play the guitar and sing dozens of songs continuously.

Many times in the crowd, he even proactively suggested to join in some entertaining performances - which, according to Le Thieu Nhon, is "a quality that is not easy to find in today's increasingly calculating social rhythm."

"Musician The Hien is like the last romantic of the Southern city, innocently holding his guitar and leisurely singing from stuffy high-rise buildings to the distant border," the poet commented.

Le Thieu Nhon mentioned the song "Sing about you" as a composition of a moment of inspiration that became immortal. Until now, more than 40 years, no one has been able to surpass the author The Hien.

As for Wild Orchid Branch , he believes that the work helps generations of audiences "understand more about the value of a peaceful life".

According to Le Thieu Nhon, musician The Hien's professional talent is not outstanding, but his fearless dedication helps him gain a solid position in the art world.

Besides his passion for singing and composing about soldiers, The Hien is also very talented at commissioning songs for localities or businesses.

In the children's song section, he has two memorable songs, "Nhong nhong nhong" and "Dau dam cau " (Question Mark ).

"Musician The Hien lived a vibrant 70 years on earth. He married four times and each woman had a lot of affection and respect for him. The musician breathed his last peacefully because it is easy for anyone 'walking among the crowd of people on the busy streets' to have achievements and blessings like him", Le Thieu Nhon wrote.

"My feet are cold..."

On the afternoon of October 1, People's Artist My Uyen and a few friends and young actors visited musician and People's Artist The Hien at Military Hospital 175 (Hanh Thong Ward, HCMC).

Because the group was quite large, they divided into groups to visit him. At this time, the veteran musician was in a coma and had to be given oxygen to sustain his life.

"When I came in, I saw his feet sticking out from under the blanket. I squeezed them and they were cold. His family said he had been cold for a few days even though the room wasn't too cold. It must have been cold from inside. I pulled the blanket over him, rubbed his feet and told him to get well soon even though I had a bad feeling...", My Uyen told VietNamNet.

That same evening, My Uyen was shocked by the news of The Hien's death, even though she had prepared herself mentally. She listened to the song "Question Mark" over and over again, feeling so moved that it was hard to put into words.

My Uyen and The Hien have known each other for many years. She is a friendly, easy-going senior who always invites her to all parties from weddings to birthdays.

The People's Artist recalled: "His first words were always: 'Uyen, I'm sitting with people who know you, love you, everyone is asking about you'."

Later, the two named their group of friends 'Mì Quảng Nhà Tám' - a place where they confided in each other and shared their empty and confused feelings. Every time, Thế Hiển played and sang songs to the group to cheer up his friends.

When The Hien fell ill, My Uyen and her group of friends always wished and waited for the day he got well, so they could eat Quang noodles together and listen to him play music and sing like in the old days.
