Among them, there are those who are currently lecturers in the Vocal Department of the Vietnam National Academy of Music such as Mach Hoach, Huong Ly; there are artists who have affirmed their position in the musical life such as Meritorious Artist Hoang Tung, Duc Tuyen (member of the Belcanto group), singer Nguyen Tran Trung Quan, and there are those who are still students in the Vocal Department. All have the same passionate feelings for their teacher and are determined to complete the MV on November 20 as a tribute to People's Artist Quoc Hung.
Talking about the inspiration for composing the song, the author of "My Teacher" - artist Manh Hoach shared: "For me, People's Artist Quoc Hung is a great teacher in my life. I feel very lucky to be one of the students who studied with People's Artist Quoc Hung for the longest time, from Intermediate to Master's degree. He taught me both about the profession and about lifestyle. I really respect and am grateful to him. He is always a shining example for me to follow in my work as well as in the qualities of a true teacher. That is also one of the sources for me to compose the song "My Teacher".

According to Manh Hoach, the motivation for him to fulfill his wish was when he was in his third year of university, also on November 20th, after listening to People's Artist Quoc Hung's lecture, he sat down to practice and heard a song about a teacher echoing in his mind. At that time, Manh Hoach suddenly searched his memory and searched for information online but could not find any article about the teacher - the music teacher.
So right after that, he started to have the first notes for the first part of the song. From late afternoon until about 8pm, Manh Hoach finished the song and copied it by hand. The song's debut was at the November 20th anniversary ceremony with People's Artist Quoc Hung. That day, the male singer boldly sang this song to dedicate to his teacher. Unexpectedly, the song was praised and warmly received by everyone.

People's Artist Quoc Hung was overwhelmed with emotion when receiving special gifts from 19 students.
As the MV director, Ngoc Gems shared that she really loves and admires People's Artist Quoc Hung, so when artist Manh Hoach contacted her to discuss making the MV, she immediately accepted. However, when making the MV "My Teacher", he had to do everything possible to keep the main character, People's Artist Quoc Hung, from knowing about this plan. Because his students wanted to surprise the male artist.
"It took us a while to talk and find ideas for the MV. NSND Quoc Hung's students shared many memories about their teacher. From gratitude for the teacher sharing his feelings and material things with poor students... to lovely memories when the teacher knew the secrets of his students but he did not forbid them but only advised and guided them. It took us nearly a week of continuous work to come up with the script idea. We decided that this MV would evoke those memories of the loving teacher-student relationship," Ngoc Gems revealed.
According to director Ngoc Gems, the MV crew was forced to lie to People's Artist Quoc Hung that they "asked him to help film a short film for his students". Therefore, although he participated in many scenes, People's Artist Quoc Hung did not know that he was the main character.
"In many practice scenes, we had to hide it from People's Artist Quoc Hung. Everyone was very nervous because they were afraid he would find out. If you watch the MV, you will see that it was not until the last scene when the students gathered to sing for the teacher that People's Artist Quoc Hung really knew about this gift.
This is also the product that has the most tears, from the emotions when NSND Quoc Hung's students remember the kindness of their teacher, to the happy tears of the male artist himself when his beloved students gave him this emotional gift. I really hope that after the MV is released, I will still have sympathy and emotions from the audience," Ngoc Gems expressed.

People's Artist Quoc Hung also confided: "I was really surprised and happy to feel the affection my students had for me from a very close yet very different angle. Close because we both belong to the world of music, living in music. Different because my students gave me a very unexpected gift. I was very touched and appreciated the gift my students gave me."
