This year's final took place in the context of the complicated developments of the epidemic, so this year, the Nghe An connection point was organized on a small scale with the participation of 100 spectators who were teachers and students of the school. However, the atmosphere at the Nghe An connection point was still very exciting and enthusiastic.
