Although he doesn’t live with his children, Chi Trung occasionally visits, sharing meals and playing with his grandchildren. Chi Trung shared that he chose to live separately due to his unique personality and lifestyle.
The artist expressed: “I still love, care for, and cherish my grandchildren and children. However, I only visit them occasionally, play with my grandchildren, and sometimes even stay for meals. Afterward, I prefer to live alone because I have my own personality and lifestyle. For instance, I go to bed at 9:30 pm, while they are just starting their evening outings and playtime with the grandchildren. Wouldn’t that be inconvenient for them? I choose to live by myself for these reasons.”
