That is also the story of the young people nominated for the "Outstanding Young Vietnamese Faces 2025" award – those who are quietly writing their own journey through effort, perseverance, and belief in what they pursue.
In an upcoming online Q&A session with Thanh Nien Newspaper readers, two outstanding nominees: Dr. Dang Thi Le Hang and student Le Kien Thanh, will share the stories behind their journeys. Two different paths, two different fields, but both began from a common point: daring to dream and persevering in pursuing that dream.

For Dang Thi Le Hang, the path of science is not just about numbers or lab experiments. It's a journey of curiosity, of hundreds of trials and tribulations, and of having to start all over again. Behind each research project are countless hours of meticulous work, late nights in the laboratory, and the belief that today's research can contribute to tomorrow's life.
But from the outside, perhaps what impresses many people most about Hang is not just her research achievements, but also the unwavering spirit of a young scientist – someone who always believes that every scientific question is worth pursuing to the very end.
Meanwhile, Le Kien Thanh represents a generation of students who are always curious and eager to conquer knowledge. For Thanh, learning is not simply about completing assignments or preparing for exams. Every difficult math problem, every new issue is an interesting challenge, an opportunity to discover things they don't yet know.

Thanh's learning journey is similar to that of many other young people: there are times when he is confused by problems he can't solve, and days when he has to patiently think for a long time to find a way forward. But it is precisely these moments that make learning more meaningful, because each time he overcomes a challenge, the young person understands more about his own abilities.
The meeting between a young scientist and an outstanding student in this exchange program is therefore more than just a conversation about achievements. It is also an opportunity for readers to hear the very ordinary stories behind these proud results: stories of perseverance, the joy of discovering knowledge, and dreams that are gradually taking shape.
In an open and friendly atmosphere, Dang Thi Le Hang and Le Kien Thanh will share with readers memorable moments from their academic and research journey: from the early days of discovering their passion for their chosen field to the challenges that have helped them grow.
More importantly, they will also talk about something very simple but meaningful to many young people: how to maintain curiosity, passion, and motivation when the road ahead is not always easy.
Every generation needs inspiring stories – stories that show that dreams aren't unattainable, but can begin with small steps: a question in class, a first experiment in the lab, or simply a desire to better understand the world around us.
The online exchange with the two nominees for the Outstanding Young Vietnamese Faces 2025 Award ( the Outstanding Young Vietnamese Faces Award is directed by the Central Youth Union, implemented by the Vietnam Young Talent Support Fund and Tien Phong Newspaper - the Fund's permanent agency) , was not only an opportunity to meet two outstanding young people, but also a chance for each young person to reflect on their own journey – and gain more motivation to continue moving towards their dreams.
Readers can submit questions to Dang Thi Le Hang and Le Kien Thanh during the online Q&A session on the topic "The Journey of Young People Who Dare to Dream" at thanhnien.vn.
Perhaps, from their simple stories, you will find a little inspiration for your own journey.
