Before entering the second auction, People's Artist Xuan Bac - a member of the Organizing Committee of the 1st World Cultural Festival in Hanoi - introduced a short clip recording the sincere sharing of people in the disaster area. That image reminded everyone of the profound meaning of volunteer activities, a bridge of love to help people overcome difficulties and stabilize their lives.

While leading the auction of the ceramic vase with the theme of motherly love, People's Artist Tu Long also spontaneously performed a part of the song "Mother loves child" - which had caused strong emotions in the program "Anh trai travails ngan cong gai" - making the space become calm and emotional.

At the end of the auction, a total of 2.5 billion VND was raised from donors and attendees. All the money will be sent to support people in areas affected by storms and floods, contributing to spreading the spirit of mutual love among Vietnamese people.
