With nearly 5 million entries on two platforms, the website baocaovien.vn and the Thanh Nien Viet Nam application, the contest has affirmed its appeal and strong influence. The highlight of the contest is the innovation and creativity in the organization method when it is implemented entirely on a digital platform, especially through the Thanh Nien Viet Nam application, clearly demonstrating the pioneering spirit of youth in the national digital transformation.

According to comrade Nguyen Pham Duy Trang, historical knowledge is not dry numbers and events on paper. History is the origin, the root, the spiritual foundation for us to understand the value of independence, freedom and to foster the will and aspiration to rise up.

“More than anyone else, the young generation must be the ones who have the deepest understanding of the nation's history, in order to turn pride in the past into concrete actions in the present and future,” emphasized comrade Nguyen Pham Duy Trang.
