第一篇:杨澜的演讲艺术
杨澜的演讲艺术
杨澜是国内著名资深电视节目主持人。曾在国内具有强大影响力的电视台担任电视栏目主持人,以极具亲和力的主持风格备受广大电视观众的喜爱。曾主持《正大综艺》、《杨澜访谈录》等电视栏目;曾被评选为“亚洲二十位社会与文化领袖”、“能推动中国前进、重塑中国形象的十二位代表人物”、“《中国妇女》时代人物”。
杨澜现任阳光媒体投资控股有限公司主席。阳光媒体投资控股有限公司是国内民营媒体企业,现持有11家亚洲地区媒体类企业公司之股份;包括31种各类杂志、3种不同类型报章、10条电视广播频道、3个门户网站及多类型互联网、多媒体产品、教育及学院投资、体育/赛车运动以及音乐娱乐事业等。阳光媒体投资控股有限公司现分布于9个国家/地区内之15个城市发展其多元化业务。
作为当今最知名的主持人之一,可以说,杨澜是成功的。而她不凡的口才,自然也增添了她的魅力。一句简单的话,闻者自知其风范与品性。
2007年9月19日晚在广州市天河体育中心演出时,戏到中途,杨澜住下台阶时摔了下来。但她非常沉着地爬了起来,对台下的观众说了这样一段话。“真是人有失足,马有失蹄呀。我刚才的狮子滚绣球的节目滚得还不熟练吧?但台上的节目会很精彩的,不信,你们瞧他们。” 出现摔倒的情况,的确令人难堪。可杨澜的这段即兴演讲,不仅为她自己摆脱了难堪,更显示出她非凡的口才,以至她话音刚落,会场就立刻爆发出热烈的掌声。有的观众还大声说:“广州欢迎你!”
在接受某时尚杂志专访时,杨澜有一句“总结陈辞”。“辛辛苦苦。过舒服日子;舒舒服服,过辛苦日子。” 这句话一度受网友热捧,听起来颇有唯物主义辩证法的魅力。它发自杨澜的内心,因为她本身非常忙,电视节目遍地开花,社会活动频繁露面,为人妻为人母,可她却做得游刃有余。她的这句话给那些梦想成功者以启迪。
在一次电视访谈节目,杨澜对年轻人寄语说:“年轻的时候你最大的财富,不是你的青春,不是你的美貌,也不是你有充沛的精力。而是你有犯错误的机会。如果你在年轻的时候都不能够追随自己的梦想。为自己认为值得干的事情冒一次风险,哪怕是犯一次错误的话,那青春是多么苍白!” 这话让许多不再年轻的人感到惭愧,回顾一下自己的青春,曾犯过几次错误?杨澜从轻率地离开央视盲目闯荡,到单枪匹马创办阳光传媒,从因听了父亲的一句话跑去啃英语,到做“妈妈”主持人,所有这些,与其说是错误,不如说是敢作敢为,是一种冒险,更是创造机会。
当谈到对于女性最敏感的“如何对待名誉”话题时,杨澜说“我就是素面朝天的人,随便穿什么就出去了,就完全混进人群里了。所以,名誉对于我来说有时候就像布袋和尚,有时候能完全将它放下来。这样我才能得以喘息。” 女人都重视名誉,没有哪一个女人会不要好名声的,但如何保持自己良好的名誉,是时时放在心里,还是淡然处之,当今的许多女名人做得让人汗颜,而杨澜的一个“布袋和尚”的比喻,便把自己进退有致的处世方略表露无遗了。
有一回记者提问杨澜:“你想拥有什么样的后半生呢?” “我连前半生还没过完呢,怎么就后半生了啊?” 杨澜除了敏锐和智慧外,她特有的慧黠也令人振奋、这个问题,记者问得很刁钻,但杨澜没有给予正面回答,可她的闪避,也自有深意。“前半生还没过完呢”,它展示了杨澜对目前生活的珍惜,心怀热情,对未来有大干一番之势,从中不难品味出这位成功女人的机敏口才。
杨澜在对大学毕业生提出劝告时说:“一个人不需要现在就定一个特别明确的目标。什么时候做杂了,也就做砸了。做得七杂八杂的了,自然就砸锅了。” 现在的大学生都热衷于所谓“设计人生”,杨澜便以别具匠心的劝告来表达自己对人生的思考,这不正是值得渴望成功的人着实品味一番的佳言妙语吗?“做杂了”,就“砸了”。什么事都需要一步一步来,不要太过幻想和功利,否则就“砸锅”了。
一次杨澜问某女学生观众:“长大了干吗?”对方说:“长大了一定当名作家。”杨澜问:“你当作家就行了,为什么非要把目标定在当名作家上呢?”那女生说:“没有名还活着干吗呢?”对此,杨澜发出了以下感叹。“一个人要 做成什么事,如果仅从主观上认为只是为做这件事,而把整个的人生变得非常片面狭窄,我是从根本上反对的。我更希望做一个幸福的人,而不仅是个成功的人。” 杨澜以此事为切入点,对观众袒露心迹。她的这番话,在触景生情之中,又附带衍生出一番人生哲理,同时还批评了那种好高骛远、不切实际的人生态度,显现其可贵的率直。
在厦门大学新闻传播学院做讲座时,杨澜说过这样一句话,“你要相信积累的力量。积累真诚、善意和勇气。在你能力范围内,友善地对待别人。”
杨澜的成功一方面来源于她的才华,再则她广泛良好的人脉也给了她很大的帮助。杨澜面对每一个人都面带微笑,当然,这不是虚伪的笑。杨澜的微笑让人觉得亲切、温暖,这自然会令人对她尊重,继而敬佩。这样的人,怎么会不成功呢? 这是一句出自杨澜博客的文章中。“有时命运的戏谑就在于,你一直犹豫不决,等到终于下定决心,已经到了谢幕的时间。” 想必每一个人都能明白这句话的意思,但在遇到选择时,相信很多人还是会犹豫不决。
杨澜办的电子杂志下载率突飞猛进,有人问她如何看待网络。“我觉得它只是我的一个水管,我还有其他的水管,还照样可以疏通的。” 以水管来比喻网络的说法,可谓聪敏过人,从这个出人意料的语言中,让人既看到她咄咄逼人的傲气,又不乏某种藐视一切困难的味道。
曾经有评论说,杨澜是中国的华莱士。但事实上,杨澜并不喜欢华莱士的主持风格:“他(有时)问问题显得有些生硬。”
谈到自己的主持风格,杨澜认为自己向来的重点不在风格,而在内涵:“风格是你在具备一定内涵后才体现出来的东西。”
《杨澜访谈录》目前走的路线,是“温和的深刻型”。提及当初节目制作组在风格取舍上的抉择,杨澜说:“到底是开着轰炸机把这块地都炸平,还是钻井取油?后来我们认为,深刻的问题也可以用一种温和的形式提出来。
对节目风格的取舍和杨澜的性格息息相关。“平时就不是一个凶巴巴的人嘛!”杨澜对自己的定位在她的每一次采访中都表现无遗。《杨澜访谈录》采访龙永图时,杨澜问及中国加入WT0最后阶段协议时朱总理的两个让步,龙回答:“具体的就不要说了”,杨当即表示“没关系”。
但杨澜并不认为自己不尖锐。“采访吴基传的时候,我问了一个问题:“中国的电信改革,是改革拉着你走,还是你拉着改革走?吴基传最先回避了这个问题,我后来又把他拉了回来,问他‘那刚才那个问题呢?’”
杨澜用了一个词来形容自己的主持风格:“绵里藏针”。“观众要看的是内容,而不是两个人吵架。”
正是这一信念,支撑着杨澜进行着眼下国内并不流行的深度访谈。看过《杨澜访谈录》的人,一定都明白自己在这个节目里需要得到的是什么:没有噱头,没有八卦;一律的开头和结尾,一样的穿插和解说。杨澜认为,这类深度访谈的节目形式应该相对稳定,没有必要像娱乐节目一样三天一小变、五天一大变。
杨澜从来不认为采访有什么特别的诀窍,除了认真:“我不是每一次都有灵感,但我每一次都很认真。”采访前做一大堆的研究,目的只有一个:“我必须了解我在说什么。”而一次成功的采访,最重要的是要让被采访者知道,你明白了他在说什么,而不是把一个问题扔给他,得到答案后又接着问采访提纲上的另一个问题。“毕竟,我不是采访的主角,应该把更多的时间留给他们。”
下面列举一些杨澜的经典语录
二十岁,是一个如花的年龄。二十岁女孩的美丽显而易见,如果再有一些优秀的品质会让美丽锦上添花。
梦想是成长的动力,二十岁的女孩要有做一番事业、获得基本的社会承认的强烈愿望。对未来充满希望和期待。
多读几本好书、多交几个好朋友、甚至养成几个好习惯。二十岁是投资和储蓄的时候,要养足未来的资本。魅力的三十,不会从天而降,如果之前的29年不够努力,那么过了30岁也不会有奇迹出现。这世上到底由什么来决定我们是谁?我认为大概有三类事:
一、完成的事——世人以此来估量我们的成就与价值;
二、不做的事——后人以此来评价我们的操守与底线;
三、想做却没有做成的事——这常常是只有自己最了解、最在乎的事,是一个更真实的自我的认定。二十岁的自己,可以开始学习定义自己是谁?并培养相关的技能和气质。
稳重、理性的杨澜,一直希望采访对象的每一次自由发挥,都能带给普通人最大的启示。
无论阳光有多么强大的管理和经营团队,没有人会怀疑,杨澜是阳光文化眼下的核心竞争力。或许,她就像“阳光卫视黑暗中的一支火炬”,距离黎明越近,肩头的责任就越为重大。
杨澜说:“我会一直做到观众不喜欢为止;他们不喜欢,我也不会硬跳到他们面前说:‘看我,看我’。”如今声名甚旺的杨澜说这话时,透着一个34岁女人的通达豁朗。
第二篇:杨澜经典演讲
杨澜TED演讲:重塑中国的年轻一代
The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show”中国达人秀“ 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中国版的“苏珊大妈” — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera西方歌剧, 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《图兰朵》 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欢闹的.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从不同的方面审视.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.

杨澜申奥演讲稿
Mr.President, Ladies and Gentlemen,Good afternoon!
主席先生,各位来宾,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.在我介绍我们的文化节目,首先我要告诉你一件有关于2008的事,你将在北京度过一段美好的时光。
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.中国有自己的体育传奇。回到宋代,大约11世纪,人们开始玩一个叫蹴鞠的游戏,这被看作是足球古老的起源。这个游戏很受欢迎,妇女也来参加。现在,你就会明白,为什么我们的女子足球队这么厉害了。
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(纺织的)into the urban tapestry(城市的织锦画).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.还有更多精彩的事物在等着你。在新北京,一个充满活力的现代化大都市,交织3000年的文化宝藏的城市面貌,伴随着象征意象的紫禁城、天坛、万里 长城正在向您展开,这个城市有着多样的的影院、博物馆、舞厅、各种餐馆和购物中心,正在让您感到惊喜与兴奋。
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(倾诉)in open expressions of affection for you and the great Movement that you guide.但除此之外,它是一个深受几百万喜爱,可以满足来自全世界的人的城市。北京人民相信,2008年北京奥运会将有助提升中国与中国香港的和谐,我们的文化会与世界多元文化相互交融。他们会公开表达对奥运的期盼之情了,你可以见证你和伟大的运动间的文化交流。
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.在我们的文化发展中,教育和交流将得到优先发展,我们想要创造一个智力和体育记录,以扩大人们所了解的奥运梦想传播于全国各地。
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.文化活动也将因之而每一年开展,从2005年至2008年,我们将举办多元化的文化节目,如音乐会、展览会、美术比赛和夏令营,将涉及来自世界各地的青少年。奥运会期间,他们将分别在奥运村和所有受惠的运动员活动。
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.开幕式我们将给予我国在世界最大的艺术舞台,欢庆共同愿望和人们独特的文化遗产——我们的文化和奥林匹克运动所带来的魅力。
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.著名的丝绸之路的开创,我们的火炬接力将有新的突破,从奥林匹亚通过一些最古老的国家的文明——希腊、罗马、埃及、拜占庭、不达米亚、波斯、阿拉伯、印度和中国。携带的信息“分享和平,分享奥运”永恒的火焰将达到新的高峰,因为它将穿越喜马拉雅山在世界的最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰,这是已知的许多你安居乐业。在中国,圣火还将穿过西藏,穿越长江与黄河,游历 长城,并参观香港,澳门,台湾和56个民族的朋友,圣火传递时,火焰将被激励更多的人参与到奥林匹克的大家庭中。
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.在这么短的时间里,我恐怕不能介绍现在的中华全貌与我们的文化,在我结束前,让我跟大家分享这样一个故事,七百年前,马可波罗来到中国,他惊讶的不得了,当他描述在一个遥远的国家非常美丽,人们问马可波罗他在中国的故事是不是真的,他回答道:我告诉你的连我看到的一半都没有达到。其实,我们已经介绍的只是一小部分,北京正在等待着你!

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
