"I was very moved. I also saw children sitting under the stage listening to the song, some of them had tears in their eyes," said musician Nguyen Van Chung.

In addition, the male musician who has written more than 300 songs for children shared more about the song "Continuing the Peace Story" which has reached 6 billion views in the past time: "I composed this song in 2023, after a trip to the source, visiting historical sites, martyrs' cemeteries, burning incense to commemorate the heroes who died for the independence and freedom of the nation when they were just eighteen or twenty years old. I hope "Continuing the Peace Story" will instill more love for the country and homeland in students, so that they will have more desire, dedication, study, work, and build their homeland. Each child can continue the story of peace with their own efforts in studying and working."
