He also said that the Nghe An Association had cherished the plan for a long time, but encountered many difficulties, including financial difficulties and mobilizing the help of benefactors. However, overcoming the difficulties, the Nghe An Association received a very high consensus.I think with so many supporters, including the families of the five late musicians, there is no reason why the event cannot be successful.”, he continued.

“I appreciate the ideas and efforts of the Nghe An Association in Hanoi. Our 5 musicians were born and raised in Nghe An, nurtured in the source of Vi and Giam, but without the country in general, Hanoi in particular, there would be no 5 of our musicians. From their hometown Nghe An, they left with the country, like a river flowing into the ocean. From Lam River, they came to Red River, Mekong River... and became talented people, the common pride of the country..This is the perception and evaluation so that we have a script and content worthy of the contributions of the 5 musicians."- Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen The Ky - Chairman of the Central Council for Literature and Art Theory and Criticism said. He also suggested many contents in the program script.

On behalf of the Art Council of the program “Wallet power circuit, Giặm”, People's Artist Le Tien Tho - Chairman of the Vietnam Stage Artists Association, Chairman of the Vietnam International Stage Association - ITI Vietnam (former Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism), scriptwriter and general director of the program acknowledged the enthusiastic contributions.
