The student's talent when transforming into the character Xuy Van is to simultaneously dance, sing, and express body language such as eyes, mouth corners, and smiles... but all the joys, anger, love, and hate, all the lies, jokes, ironies, and sufferings of the mortal world appear clearly.
Although not a professional actor, through her excellent performance, the student made the audience silent as if they were experiencing the bitter life of the character. This performance of the female student excellently won the A prize.

This year's competition also made a special mark with the participation of leading names in the art field: People's Artist Tran Luc, People's Artist Le Tuan Cuong and Writer Do Bich Thuy.
People's Artist Tran Luc, who has many years of experience in the film industry, pointed out that: "Adapting literary works into films or plays requires creativity beyond recreating the plot. It is the process of selecting the most important elements in the work, while at the same time renewing them through performance forms, helping viewers to perceive the work in a different approach while still retaining the soul of the original work".
At the same time, the artist also affirmed that stage adaptations need to be conventional. Conventionalism will bring more space for the audience to co-create with the director and actors.

People's Artist Le Tuan Cuong, lecturer at the University of Theatre and Cinema, who has inspired many generations of students with love and passion for Cheo. With extensive experience in the theater, emphasized: "The stage is a special space where literary works are performed directly, and the requirement of the stage is to both bring a realistic atmosphere and create appeal to the audience. Adapting a literary work to the stage is not only a matter of renewing the story, but also a way to express the conflicts, emotions and profound philosophy of the work".
Writer Do Bich Thuy, who has many works adapted into films, also shared her emotional feelings after watching the performances. She shared her hope for the young generation of teachers who are passionate about literature, love their jobs, and are dedicated to their profession, while affirming : "Literature is an indispensable part of every person's spiritual life. The participation of young people in the process of adapting literary works is not only creative, but also a way for them to approach more deeply the cultural essence and humanistic values that the work wants to convey."
