According to Mr. Nguyen Minh Triet, each year, Thanh Nien Newspaper should choose a land, a topic to continue to maintain and promote through writing competitions, and at the same time have solutions to spread the winning works. Firstly, spread the good message that our contest sends to readers. Secondly, through that, it will create more inspiration for young people and authors to know about the contest and participate more actively.
The contest shows that Eastern people are really strong.
Attending the exchange with the award-winning author, the whole hall was almost quiet because of the confidences of the author En Nho (real name Huynh Thanh Thao, whose work Con kenh tu tinh won third prize), a girl with brittle bone disease, infected with Agent Orange, and poor health, unable to go to school. En Nho moved people because with her own determination, she taught herself to write and read... At the age of 9, when she wrote the first letter, it was her parents' names. "At the age of 14, I decided to open a charity class to teach people who could not go to school like me. I think life is happiness, as long as there is life, there is hope because this life complements each other. I am a person who likes to write, although my sentences are sometimes not neat, with spelling mistakes, but I believe that words can be written incorrectly but I do not want to live wrongly with myself. I have to live so that my parents can be proud of me", En Nho confidently interacted with the attendees. The whole hall was moved, many tears flowed.

Ms. Huynh Thanh Nam, Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Tay Ninh province, said that this is a very meaningful and touching contest. "Through the contest, we have seen many strong people from the East, like En Nho, a person who has deeply moved me with his extraordinary willpower. Although he has Agent Orange and is disabled, he still wants to help others step out into the world . Normally, we would think that people with disabilities are the ones who need help, but with En Nho, it is the opposite. After overcoming his own willpower, studying at home, and writing and writing for newspapers, En Nho has brought pride to his parents, and at the same time opened a charity class to teach literacy to those in difficult circumstances who cannot go to school."

Little Swallow, Little Swallow
Is the swallow really as small as the swallow said?
Swallow was born by the river
The canal is remembered, the fields are loved.
Swallows do not accept impermanence
Swallows always fly in the garden of dreams
The Swallow's Willpower Like Poetry
Pick up each letter waiting for someone to pass by
Pick up every little thing around us
Create the fragrance and color of flowers with life
Thanks for speaking up, En.
Disability is not a place to be angry.
Inconvenience is more than that.
But misfortune is not always around us
Then the little swallow flew away
Transmitting the will to rise is called rising.
Even though life is uncertain
Optimism tries to build humanity
Today I saw the swallow smile
Like the apricot blossoms blooming in spring.
