This year, the Golden Bell program celebrates its 20th anniversary, spanning 19 years, since its first year in 2006.

To mark this important milestone, the organizers have implemented many programs to spread the image of the tournament to many regions of the country.

Recently, the Alluvial Sound programs took place in Hanoi, An Giang, Bac Lieu , and Ho Chi Minh City with the participation of many artists and golden bells through each season.

This time, after the preliminary round, the 32 candidates selected to move on to the next round were divided into two teams. One team went to interact with students of Binh Duong University. Another team of 16 candidates went to interact with the navy soldiers.

The contestants sang excerpts from Tay Son Buoc Chan Hao Chieu and Tinh Anh Y Thiep to the soldiers, and the soldiers presented the group with the song Dat Nuoc Tron Niem Joy .

Interspersed with the program are exchanges and small games for the marines to learn about the Golden Bell of Traditional Opera, while providing participants with knowledge about Vietnam's seas and islands.

During breaks and group activities, soldiers often use songs to forget their homesickness, socialize, bond with their teammates, and enrich their spiritual life.

Sharing with the soldiers, contestant Lam Nhat Dang from Bac Lieu (now Ca Mau) confided that he is currently working in the police force so he sympathizes with the feelings of the navy soldiers, so he sent to the exchange the ancient song Cay Bang Con Dao .

In response to the delegation's affection, comrade Nguyen Hung Cuong spontaneously sang the song Ly chim cuon . Although his singing was still stiff, his dedication made the atmosphere in the hall extremely joyful and exciting.

Experience to better understand the life of a navy soldier

Major Cao Van Duong, assistant to the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of Navy Region 2, said that there have been several delegations visiting and exchanging before, but this is the first time a delegation of contestants from a reformed opera program has come.

The soldiers in the unit are relatively few from the Western provinces, mainly from the Central and Northern regions, however listening to traditional singing and reformed opera is also an interesting experience for the soldiers.

During the exchange, there were few soldiers who knew and mentioned the names of artists Trong Phuc and Vo Minh Lam.

After the exchange, the contestants were guided by the officers to watch the soldiers' training sessions, visit the vegetable garden, the unit's livestock farm, and visit the rig house...

The contestant from Phu Yen expressed that being able to sing for the soldiers was a joy for him. In addition, learning about the lives and hardships of the soldiers helped him share and love the silent work of protecting the sea of the marines.
