In addition to wishes for good luck and health, several young people prayed for a better love life.

Hoang Hang from the Academy of Finance said, "I've yet to find a partner and sometimes I feel a bit lonely. I hope that I can find love in the new year and eventually get married. As I'm a final-year student, my parents are looking forward to such a major event."
