【演講】楊瀾在中央財經大學的演講：成功與成長

我們每個人都有挫敗感，是因為這個社會把成功定義的太狹隘了，如果成功的定義是狹隘的，那么成功的人永遠是少數。所有的人都在追求成功，卻沒有人在意成長，我們到底是應該選擇成功還是成長？楊瀾做客中央財經大學，跟學生們分享她對成功和成長的理解。

楊瀾的開場白：這是一個個人價值得以釋放的時代，人人都在尋求成長的一種方式。在當今社會，成功已成為生活的第一目標，但更多的人卻存在著不安全感和挫敗感。怎么辦？這就是我們今天所要討論的問題。

“每個人都想成功，但并不是每個人都獲得了成長”

成功是一個點，而成長則是一個過程；成功源自外界評價，而成長則是一種內在知覺；正是我們擔心失去的成功往往轉瞬即逝，而經歷痛苦的成長不會被別人剝奪……

成功與成長

李連杰做客《楊瀾訪談錄》時談到他在馬爾代夫海嘯后對生命的思考時說，生活中的每個人似乎總是感到不滿足，快樂與痛苦是否只有量的差異而沒有質的區別？在楊瀾看來，當下釋放個性的時代要求與人們實際生活體驗中挫敗感之間的矛盾與日俱增。比較成功的人看到有比他更成功的人，就要去追求更高的目標。得不到以及怕失去的心態鼓勵我們繼續占有，并在此過程中得到安慰。如果沒能達成目標，將會體驗到一種強烈的挫敗感。

這種對成功目標的追求似乎讓我們永遠不會得到快樂和滿足，或許正如歌德所說：“每個人都想成功，但并不是每個人都獲得了成長。”成功是一個點，而成長則是一個過程；成功源自外界評價，而成長則是一種內在知覺；正是我們擔心失去的成功往往轉瞬即逝，而經歷痛苦的成長不會被別人剝奪。“尋找自我、表達自我，并感到快樂”是楊瀾對于成長的理解。這種對成功的廣義詮釋才能有助于培育我們的智慧和健全的人格。

成功與選擇

盛大網絡的陳天橋對楊瀾回憶說，當他用30萬美元購買一款網絡游戲時，人們都說“陳天橋是門外漢干門內事”。選擇已經開學一個月的時間投放產品無疑將因“淡季”而遭遇慘敗。面對與所有人預期相反的事實，選擇沒有競爭對手的“淡季”成了后來人們總結盛大成功的原因，而也正是這樣的選擇成就了這個“門外漢”。

有了采訪500余位成功人士的積淀，楊瀾覺得每個人共同的特征都是經歷困境，而有的時候選擇是要靠直覺做出的。94年事業如日中天的楊瀾放棄了央視的平臺，輾轉美國哥倫比亞大學深造。“當時沒有什么象后來別人說的激流勇退之類的太多想法，就是不想做‘花瓶’，想見識更大的世界，實現自己的增值。”她這樣回憶。

無論是陳天橋，還是楊瀾，都是在不能清晰預見結果如何的情況下，憑著直覺放手一搏的。但這種直覺的選擇卻并不是憑空而來，尋找到什么樣的自我、以何種方式表達自我都取決于一個人的性格和品質。運氣與機遇、才華與能力會影響一個人是否能取得成功，但這種影響只是中期、甚至短期的，選擇和性格才會在更大尺度上決定你的人生。所以尋找自我是成長的關鍵，做出選擇之后也要為自己的決定負責，承擔起相應的責任和風險。“人生無非活該二字”，楊瀾很同意演員李琦的這句話。

帶來快樂的不光是自身的成長，更應包括幫助別人、成就別人的行為。2001年楊瀾采訪劉少奇的夫人王光美女士，給她留下的最大印象就是這個經歷常人無法想象的痛苦、磨礪之后能夠對當初施加迫害的“仇人”以德報怨，如此寬容的胸懷是一種何等的品質。成長的動力也來自于情感的力量、對于善意的信仰，楊瀾對席琳迪翁和丈夫深厚感情的描述讓在場師生不禁熱烈鼓掌。

在楊瀾對這些卓越人物的娓娓道來之中，記者突然覺得，對于善的追求也許正是她將陽光媒體投資集團權益的51%無償捐獻給社會，并在香港成立非盈利機構陽光文化基金會這一選擇的初衷吧。“幫助別人是一種快樂，所以愛別人就是愛自己。”楊瀾說。人生的減法

90年畢業的楊瀾是第一屆面臨自主擇業的大學生中的一員，憑借運氣、實力和“厚臉皮”，她從7輪考試中脫穎而出，并主持了《正大綜藝》、成為全民偶像。4年之后，這個給人感覺精明、干練的名主持人就消失在央視的舞臺上了。回國之后，楊瀾主持了《楊瀾視線》、《天下女人》等節目，而大家所熟知的《楊瀾訪談錄》，她一做就是9年。

從娛樂節目到高端訪談，再到探討女性成長的大型脫口秀節目，作為主持人，楊瀾一直備受歡迎。進入21世紀，這位成功的職業女性更是一步跨入商界，成為陽光文化網絡電視有限公司主席，實現了從體制內到體制外，從主持人轉變為獨立電視制片人的轉型。

如果說她一直在轉型之中找尋自己，那么這找尋的結果又是怎樣的呢？

記者：在我理解，傳媒人的職業榮譽在于深刻的關注和記錄社會并影響社會進程。所以傳媒人要有一種儒家所謂俯仰天地、悲天憫人、大徹大悟的文人氣質。而隨著社會發展“媒介也經濟”了，作為一個傳媒人，您也有過一系列的商業運作。請問在自我尋找和自我表達的過程中您是如何平衡自己“文人”和“商人”的角色的？

楊瀾：平衡很重要，我一向反對非此即彼的二元論，而是要在人生的“光譜”上選擇自己的顏色。從世界范圍來看，傳媒普遍面臨著保障收視率等運營壓力，因為市場機制使得競爭激烈、資源被攤薄。這個平衡點是要作出比較具體和量化的選擇的，比如說做3集比較吸引人的節目，像成龍、李連杰、甄子丹，作一集深刻記錄社會發展變化的節目，像我四天前就香港回歸10周年采訪了曾蔭權。

可以說現在的發展不能不商業化，而完全的商業化絕對難以走遠。2000年，我覺得設立“人文紀錄片頻道”是一個將“文人”和“商人”追求結合的比較好的理想選擇。因為隨著人們需求的發展，紀錄片門類一定有著廣泛的需求。而最后并不成功是因為注冊于香港的電視臺不能在大陸百分之百落地，而且收費電視模式在中國的發展尚需時日。但一路走來，我對自己最滿意和驕傲的是一直忠實于自己的想法，還是那“活該”二字。

從失敗之中我們可以了解自己的局限，做好人生的減法，其實一輩子做好一兩件事足已。所以我現在又回到自己擅長的媒體內容制作上面來，通過《天下女人》欄目，我希望能了解現代白領女性的生活狀態，做都市女性“精神補給站”。

楊瀾會中所提及的22點成長與成功啟發：

1．成長是一個尋找自己的過程，也是一個表達自己的過程。

2．成功是一個點，成長是一個過程。

3．成功要靠外界的評價，成長要靠內心的感受。

4．人一旦成功就害怕失去，而成長是可以延續的。

5．失去成功比退潮還快，而成長卻是一棵樹，只有根扎的深“樹”才會永遠不倒。

6．成功固然很重要，但每個人經歷更多的卻是困境。

7．如果只甘于做一個花瓶，你遲早會失去光彩。所以人要不斷地學習、深造，不斷地提升自己，做自己喜歡做的事。

8．決定一個人的命運的不是他的能力，而是他的清醒。

9．機會、才華、性格都會對人的成長起到作用。

10．不斷的選擇塑造了你的生活，不是因為機會，甚至不是因為你的才華。

11．人對自己的了解不是一開始就是知道的，尋找自己的過程是成長的根本。

12．一個人要想成功，臉皮要足夠“厚”。

13．有時候成功要靠直覺。

14．年輕的可貴是敢于憤怒、敢于突破。

15．我從不相信成功是一種爆發，我相信成功是一種積累，是一種對人的善意。

16．偶然都是存在于必然之中。

17．如果你傷害了別人，請你說聲“對不起！”；如果你欠了別人的錢，請你不要忘記還上。這是做人的基本原則，也是成功者必須具備的素質。

18．愛，是這個世界上最有力量的東西，愛你周圍的人，愛你的親人，愛你自己。

第二篇：楊瀾經典演講

楊瀾TED演講：重塑中國的年輕一代

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show”中國達人秀“ in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audiences in the stadium.Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff.It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle中國版的“蘇珊大媽” — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera西方歌劇, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter)And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma《圖蘭朵》 that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together.That was hilarious歡鬧的.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness不同.They were the least expected 最不可能to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives從不同的方面審視.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990,when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton--it's still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?”I summoned my courage and poise and said,“Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?” I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition--the first ever open audition by national television in China--with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, “Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?” I thought I kind of offended them.But actually, they were impressed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause)And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, “Lan, you changed my life,” and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world? So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei--20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross.The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title--probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.It's very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger--it's not me--it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows;we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick.So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves “tribe of ants.” And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in Americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare.And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge, skills and networksthey have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create new businessin the less developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it's 0.5--even worse than that in America--showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And guess what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pass the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands--that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They're not rich at all.They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called “naked” wedding, or “naked” marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find missing children.A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?I guess these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.

第四篇：楊瀾申奧演講

楊瀾申奧演講稿

Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon!

主席先生，各位來賓，大家午安！

Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008.You're going to have a great time in Beijing.在我介紹我們的文化節目，首先我要告訴你一件有關于2008的事，你將在北京度過一段美好的時光。

Many people are fascinated by Chin’s its sport legends in history.For example ,Back to Song Dynasty, about（which was）the 11th century, people our country

started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football.The game was so popular and women were also participating.Now, you will understand why our women football team is so well today.中國有自己的體育傳奇。回到宋代，大約11世紀，人們開始玩一個叫蹴鞠的游戲，這被看作是足球古老的起源。這個游戲很受歡迎，婦女也來參加。現在，你就會明白，為什么我們的女子足球隊這么厲害了。

There are a lot more wonderful and exciting events waiting for you in the New Beijing, a modern metropolis with 3,000 years of cultural treasures woven（紡織的）into the urban tapestry(城市的織錦畫).Along with the iconic imagery of the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, the city also offers an endless mixture of theatres, museums, discos, all kinds of restaurants and shopping malls which will amaze u and delight you.還有更多精彩的事物在等著你。在新北京，一個充滿活力的現代化大都市，交織3000年的文化寶藏的城市面貌，伴隨著象征意象的紫禁城、天壇、萬里 長城正在向您展開，這個城市有著多樣的的影院、博物館、舞廳、各種餐館和購物中心，正在讓您感到驚喜與興奮。

But beyond all that, it is a city of millions of friendly people who love to meet people from around the world.They believe that the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing , it will help to enhance the harmony between our culture and the diverse cultures of the world, and guarantee their gratitude(感恩)will pour out(傾訴)in open expressions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide.但除此之外，它是一個深受幾百萬喜愛，可以滿足來自全世界的人的城市。北京人民相信，2008年北京奧運會將有助提升中國與中國香港的和諧,我們的文化會與世界多元文化相互交融。他們會公開表達對奧運的期盼之情了，你可以見證你和偉大的運動間的文化交流。

Within our cultural programs, education and communication will receive the highest priority.We seek to create an intellectual and sporting legacy by broadening the understanding of the Olympic Ideals throughout the country.在我們的文化發展中，教育和交流將得到優先發展，我們想要創造一個智力和體育記錄，以擴大人們所了解的奧運夢想傳播于全國各地。

Cultural events will unfold each year, from 2005 to 2008.We will stage multi-disciplined cultural programs, such as concerts, exhibitions, art competitions and camps which will involve young people from around the world.During the Olympics, they will be staged in the Olympic Village and the city for the benefit of the athletes.文化活動也將因之而每一年開展，從2005年至2008年，我們將舉辦多元化的文化節目，如音樂會、展覽會、美術比賽和夏令營，將涉及來自世界各地的青少年。奧運會期間,他們將分別在奧運村和所有受惠的運動員活動。

Our Ceremonies will give China's greatest-and the world's greatest artists a stage for celebrating the common aspirations of humanity and the unique heritage of our culture and the Olympic Movement.開幕式我們將給予我國在世界最大的藝術舞臺，歡慶共同愿望和人們獨特的文化遺產——我們的文化和奧林匹克運動所帶來的魅力。

With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese.Carrying the message “Share the Peace, Share the Olympics,” the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit-Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt.Everest.In China, the flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society.On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.著名的絲綢之路的開創，我們的火炬接力將有新的突破，從奧林匹亞通過一些最古老的國家的文明——希臘、羅馬、埃及、拜占庭、不達米亞、波斯、阿拉伯、印度和中國。攜帶的信息“分享和平，分享奧運”永恒的火焰將達到新的高峰，因為它將穿越喜馬拉雅山在世界的最高峰——珠穆朗瑪峰,這是已知的許多你安居樂業。在中國，圣火還將穿過西藏，穿越長江與黃河，游歷 長城，并參觀香港，澳門，臺灣和56個民族的朋友，圣火傳遞時，火焰將被激勵更多的人參與到奧林匹克的大家庭中。

I am afraid I can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time.Before I end, let me share with you one story.Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true.He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw.Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.在這么短的時間里，我恐怕不能介紹現在的中華全貌與我們的文化，在我結束前，讓我跟大家分享這樣一個故事，七百年前，馬可波羅來到中國，他驚訝的不得了，當他描述在一個遙遠的國家非常美麗，人們問馬可波羅他在中國的故事是不是真的，他回答道：我告訴你的連我看到的一半都沒有達到。其實,我們已經介紹的只是一小部分，北京正在等待著你！

Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China

The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China's Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audiences in the stadium.Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle.And I told her, “I'm going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese.[Chinese]So it's not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff.It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle--a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese.(Laughter)And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audiences sang together.That was hilarious.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness.They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through.And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams.Well, being different is not that difficult.We are all different from different perspectives.But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view.You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years.I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton--it's still there.So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, “So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?” I summoned my courage and poise and said,“ Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?” I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel.That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition--the first ever open audition by national television in China--with another thousand college girls.The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face.So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, “Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?” I thought I kind of offended them.But actually, they were impressed by my words.And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it.So I was on a national television prime-time show.And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(Applause)And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S.and Columbia University to pursue mypostgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career.So we do a lot of things.I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, “Lan, you changed my life,” and I feel proud of that.But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country.I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.I was representing the Shanghai Expo.I saw China embracing the world and vice versa.But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei--20 years old, beautiful.She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the Chinese version of Twitter.And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce.She didn't realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross.The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title--probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.It's very complicated to explain.But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.It is still boiling.It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past.And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 2010, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled.Sina.com, a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger--it's not me--it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old.And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government, social media offers an opening to let the steam out a little bit.But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.So how are they different? First of all, most of them were born in the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy.And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women.That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows;we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.Most of them have fairly good education.The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent.In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030.And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick.So it means young couples will have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people.College graduates are not in short supply.In urban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S.dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500.So what do they do? They have to share space--squeezed in very limited space to save money--and they call themselves “tribe of ants.” And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford their first apartment.That ratio in America would only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people.They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas.Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging.They work for longer hours with less income, less social welfare.And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation, tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce.Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease.But they died because of all different personal reasons.But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside, they find themselves very welcome locally, because with the knowledge, skills and networks they have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs, upgrade local agriculture and create new business in the less developed market.So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background.The first one is the Engels coefficient, which explains that the cost of daily necessities has dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent.But then in the last two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost.The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.Now it's 0.5--even worse than that in America--showing us the income inequality.And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility.And also, the bitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread.So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even unrest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about.Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustration among our young generation.Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet, people cry for the government to take actions to stop thiSo the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governments to the court.Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety is a hot topic on the Internet.We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food.And guess what, we have faked beef.They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop.So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life.China is soon to pass the U.S.as the number one market for luxury brands--that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere.But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S.dollars.They're not rich at all.They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status.And this is a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called “naked” wedding, or “naked” marriage.It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitment to true love.And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogs for food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watching through microblogging.People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find missing children.A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet.After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years.Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment.People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going to perform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capable is the system of self-correctness to keep more people content with all sorts of friction going on at the same time? I guess these are the questions people are going to answer.And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.10
