The organizing committee presented awards to participants in the 2024 contest.
After more than two months of implementation, the contest garnered widespread attention and enthusiastic participation from a diverse group of youth union members, students, and learners from schools and language centers across the city. Notably, many participants were educators from these institutions.
A total of 380 entries were submitted, including 356 written pieces and 24 video submissions, representing the contributions of over 300 individual and group participants. The entries showcased remarkable diversity and creativity, aligning closely with the contest's objectives. They effectively highlighted the contest’s broad-reaching impact, resonance, and quality. Through this initiative, the contest contributed significantly to promoting a deeper understanding of the culture and people of Vietnam and China, especially within Hai Phong City. It also served to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the people of Hai Phong and their Chinese counterparts, and by extension, between the two nations.
The organizing committee also presented gifts to students who have overcome challenging circumstances to excel academically.
To honor the contributions of participants and organizations, the President of the Vietnam-China Friendship Association in Hai Phong City issued a formal decision recognizing 17 winning entries. These included five entries with the highest public votes, six third prizes, four second prizes, and two first prizes for both written works and video clips. Furthermore, two organizations were commended for their outstanding contributions to the contest’s implementation.
On this occasion, the Vietnam-China Friendship Association, in collaboration with the Vietnam-China Business Club in Hai Phong, awarded 15 scholarships, including vouchers for Chinese language courses, to students who have excelled academically despite difficult circumstances. The Hai Phong Youth Union also presented certificates of merit to two organizations and 12 individual or group participants in recognition of their efforts.
