Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Do Quoc Dat, Head of Student Affairs Department of Hanoi University, said: "The idea of making this MV comes from the desire to use language as a tool to spread the desire for peace of Vietnamese youth to the world. With the strength of being a multilingual school, we connect all cultures through music ".

Before making this MV, the school received the consent of the song's author, musician Nguyen Van Chung. The project was nurtured and completed in 3 months.

According to Mr. Dat, performing the song in 13 languages is a big challenge.

"Each language has its own characteristics in terms of intonation and expression of emotions. We have to work closely with professional instructors to proofread and choose the most appropriate expression, both preserving the original spirit of the song and respecting the identity of each language," said Mr. Dat.

Mr. Le Dinh Tuan Anh, a fourth-year student of the Korean Language Department, shared his memories of participating in the project: “I overcame the challenge of working with the translator to translate the Vietnamese lyrics into Korean in just one week, while also having to adjust the translation to match the original melody.

I practiced every night, even practiced with a teacher and consulted native speakers to get the most natural pronunciation."

In addition, choosing the filming location and costumes was also a big challenge, aiming to show the cultural exchange of each language, while also depicting the beauty of Hanoi, both modern and ancient.

After its release, the MV crew received a lot of positive feedback. "Teachers and students feel proud and touched because their collective efforts have been spread. International partners and friends are also surprised and delighted to see the song performed in their own language," said Mr. Dat.

"Continuing the Peace Story" version in 13 languages attracted 1.4 million views when shared on Facebook (Video: Facebook).

Through this MV, the production crew wishes to send the message to the community: "Language is the bridge, peace is the destination. This not only affirms that Vietnam is a country that loves peace, stability and prosperity, but also opens its arms to connect with international friends through understanding and sharing."

Commenting on the 13-language version of Continue the Peace Story , Ngan Thuy wrote: "The song is even more elevated when translated, especially when placed in the context of international cooperation and connection, communicating with many different cultures. Thank you to the students, teachers and the school for a truly meaningful project, conveying the true spirit of the song "Let's continue writing the peace story together"".

Tran Le Hang commented: "Translating the language is already difficult, translating the song is a million times more difficult. The voices of the teachers and students are also very high quality. The MV makes me feel extremely proud."
