Regarding the prize A, Lien Lien said that "Large-scale deforestation in Kon Tum" is a work that makes her emotional.
"I went through a long period of work, I came across a completely different topic than what I imagined at home, even at one point I regretted it so much that I thought I would quit my job. The reason for that thought is because I believed that if I continue, the emotion It will influence me, "added Lien.
"In reality, deforestation is not a new issue. We often hear about it. But when I did the report on this topic, I thought I had to do something else and put my effort into the scene. If I just come and film stumps that have been felled, it wouldn't work. The criterion I set is to myself is to be different," the prize winner said.
Due to COVID-19 conditions, the award ceremony will be held on the occasion of the 11th Congress of the Vietnam Journalists Association in Hanoi.
