On the afternoon of October 9, 2025, Hall 104–HT2 transformed into a cozy, heartfelt space filled with stories of perseverance, determination, and the pursuit of knowledge during HES Alumni Talk #2. Returning to their alma mater, the outstanding alumni - former members of the National Excellent Student Teams - brought back invaluable lessons and cherished memories.

They shared journeys marked by invisible pressures, long nights of relentless study, and moments of pure joy when their efforts were finally recognized. Through the inspiring words of Khánh An, Khánh Ngọc, Kiều Anh, Thảo Vân, Tiến Dũng, and Hoàng Kiên, current HESers were deeply moved to realize that behind every medal lies an extraordinary journey of courageous steps.

The talk was not a one-way sharing, but a lively and engaging dialogue. Thoughtful questions from students were met with honest and heartfelt responses, opening up new perspectives on learning, pursuing passions, and defining one’s path in life.

HES Alumni Talk #2 concluded, yet the flame of courage and belief - to think, to act, and to conquer - continues to burn brightly in every HESer’s heart. The school sincerely thanks our alumni for returning and inspiring the next generation, and all students for making the afternoon truly meaningful.
