Thai Dang Nhat Tan, a male student, won the consolation prize for his work “Diligently sowing love”. Not long after that, Nhat Tan suddenly passed away.
With the desire to comfort his son, early in the morning, Mr. Thai Van Mui (Nhat Tan's father) brought his son's portrait from Dong Nai to Ho Chi Minh City to receive the award on his son's behalf.
Mr. Thai Van Mui shared: “My family is very saddened by the passing of my child, but today I feel somewhat comforted. My child passed away suddenly just a few weeks after receiving his diploma. Before receiving the award, I also asked the organizers to bring my child’s portrait. I asked the organizers to send the prize money to the fund for poor children.”

Author Dang Hoang An – the author of the work “Disabled swimmer tirelessly spreads free letters” – confided: “I feel happy when sharing the story of a sister in the industry spreading letters to disadvantaged children in the locality. I hope to use this story to spread the message that teachers are spreading knowledge to make life greener.”
Mr. Nguyen Bao Quoc - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City - assessed that the contest has aroused the emotions of many generations of students about their teachers.
“Through the articles, we see the image of teachers who bring motivation for lifelong learning, and are examples for us to follow. AI and artificial intelligence pose many challenges to teachers, requiring teachers to explore, research, innovate, and create to meet the expectations of society, parents, and students.
The portrait of a teacher in the digital age is both dynamic and modern but always maintains a loving heart and tolerance for students. Through the contest, the image of a teacher appears very beautiful, a teacher is a support, an inspiration, a dreamer and a fire-starter…” – Mr. Quoc shared.
