You can use a rewrite rule, like so: 


rewrite ^/category/something/(.*)$ http://site.com/something/$1 redirect;


And remember to restart nginx: 


service nginx restart

server {
listen 80;
server_name www.bandatnendongnai.vn bandatnendongnai.vn 202.182.98.49;
rewrite ^(.*) https://www.bandatnendongnai.vn$1 permanent;
rewrite ^/du-an(.*) https://$server_name/category/du-an/$1 permanent;
}
server {
    listen       443 ssl http2;
    server_name  bandatnendongnai.vn;
    return       301 https://www.bandatnendongnai.vn$request_uri;
    rewrite ^/du-an(.*) https://$server_name/category/du-an/$1 permanent;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/paidssl/www.bandatnendongnai.vn/www.bandatnendongnai.vn.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/paidssl/www.bandatnendongnai.vn/www.bandatnendongnai.vn.key;

and then service nginx restart

Check nginx
nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

Please help me. Thank you so much
