Sharing about this song, Duy Cuong said: “As soon as I joined the Bolero Idol 2018 program, Cuong received a lot of love from his hometown Nghe An and the audience in the Central region. Since then, Cuong has always wanted to perform a song about the Central region to respond to everyone's love and also as a way to bring a message as the song said: despite many difficulties and hardships, all people with Vietnamese blood always turn to the Central region with all their hearts and minds”.

Coach Ngoc Son couldn’t help but be proud of his students’ performance and continuously expressed his joy with extremely adorable actions and gestures.

Sharing his joy after the competition night, Duy Cuong said: "Cuong is very happy and excited to receive the highest number of votes to win a ticket to the next round, thank you to the coaches and audiences everywhere for your attention and love for Duy Cuong".

It is known that participating in “Bolero Idol 2018”, at first there were 4 contestants from Nghe An, but after the rounds of “Essence”, “Challenge”, “Mini liveshow”, 3 people had to stop playing, leaving only Duy Cuong competing with much promise. In the previous rounds, Duy Cuong was evaluated by the coaches as a “gem” of Bolero music, needing to be polished to shine.

Young doctor Duy Cuong was once famous for being a student who overcame difficulties. His father lost the ability to work and had to use a wheelchair due to a traffic accident when Cuong was in first grade. His older brother had to drop out of school to work and help his mother pay for his education.

In grade 12, Cuong had an accident during recess, had to wear a cast and use crutches right at the time of his graduation and university entrance exams, but he still passed the entrance exam to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Cuong was an excellent student and won the third prize in the school's scientific research competition. After graduating with an excellent degree, Cuong was retained at the school as a lecturer and successfully defended his Doctoral Thesis in Philosophy in 2017.

While studying and teaching, he also participated in the "Bolero Idol" contest, so the young doctor had to make an effort to fulfill both his work and his passion on stage.

“It was really hard for Cuong, but as he shared with everyone, he had to try hard to balance his teaching job at school and also go to Ho Chi Minh City to participate in the competition. In that situation, Cuong was lucky to receive great support from the school's Board of Directors and his family. Although he was very busy, Cuong's mother arranged to go to Ho Chi Minh City to encourage him in every round of the competition,” Duy Cuong shared.

Hopefully, the young doctor from Nghe An will continue to bring the audience of "Bolero Idol 2018" many sublime emotions./.
