MC Anh Tuan emotionally shared: “I was choked up when I first read the impressive figure we achieved. I cannot express much right now, I just want to hug everyone who contributed to making this program a success to say thank you, so we can feel thousands of hearts beating together, turning towards the storm- and flood-affected regions and hoping to help our compatriots who are enduring many losses and difficulties.”
MC Anh Tuan stated that the entire donated amount would be personally handed over by the Tôi! Người Việt Nam organizing committee to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee in the coming days.
The Tôi! Người Việt Nam concert took place on the evening of October 29 at Nguyen Du Stadium (HCMC), organized by the “Gia tộc Anh tài” (Family of Talents) to raise funds for flood-affected compatriots.
The event was accompanied by Dân trí newspaper as a media partner. With many years of experience in implementing humanitarian projects, Dân trí continues to be a bridge, spreading the spirit of “mutual affection and solidarity” to the community through this special program.

After more than 4 hours, the program left a profound impression with nearly 40 meticulously staged performances, bringing a range of emotions, from pride and emotion to joy. Several performances focused on patriotism and praising the Vietnamese people, deeply moving the audience.
According to MC Anh Tuan, all preparations were completed in just 20 days, from the moment the idea of a charity concert was decided until the program officially took place.
“Everyone gave their best, doing everything meticulously, so that music could become a bridge of love among the Vietnamese people,” he said.

One of the most touching moments was the auction of the Tôi! Người Việt Nam poster, bearing the full signatures of 33 “talents.” This item held immense spiritual value, symbolizing solidarity towards the people in the storm- and flood-affected regions.
The atmosphere in the hall became lively when Jun Pham and Bang Kieu successfully bid 200 million VND for the poster. Additionally, Dang Khoi contributed another 100 million VND. The group including Quoc Thien, Neko Le, BB Tran, Tang Phuc, Kay Tran, and Duy Khanh donated 300 million VND to the auction activities.
Immediately afterward, Jun Pham and Bang Kieu decided to donate the poster back for the program to continue its auction. Finally, an audience member paid 180 million VND to own this special keepsake.
“The opportunity to do something meaningful with my idol is truly precious. Today is a chance to spread positivity, so why wouldn’t I do it? I know no matter how much money I spend, it’s all for our compatriots out there struggling with storms and floods,” the audience member shared.
