【演讲】杨澜在中央财经大学的演讲：成功与成长

我们每个人都有挫败感，是因为这个社会把成功定义的太狭隘了，如果成功的定义是狭隘的，那么成功的人永远是少数。所有的人都在追求成功，却没有人在意成长，我们到底是应该选择成功还是成长？杨澜做客中央财经大学，跟学生们分享她对成功和成长的理解。

杨澜的开场白：这是一个个人价值得以释放的时代，人人都在寻求成长的一种方式。在当今社会，成功已成为生活的第一目标，但更多的人却存在着不安全感和挫败感。怎么办？这就是我们今天所要讨论的问题。

“每个人都想成功，但并不是每个人都获得了成长”

成功是一个点，而成长则是一个过程；成功源自外界评价，而成长则是一种内在知觉；正是我们担心失去的成功往往转瞬即逝，而经历痛苦的成长不会被别人剥夺……

成功与成长

李连杰做客《杨澜访谈录》时谈到他在马尔代夫海啸后对生命的思考时说，生活中的每个人似乎总是感到不满足，快乐与痛苦是否只有量的差异而没有质的区别？在杨澜看来，当下释放个性的时代要求与人们实际生活体验中挫败感之间的矛盾与日俱增。比较成功的人看到有比他更成功的人，就要去追求更高的目标。得不到以及怕失去的心态鼓励我们继续占有，并在此过程中得到安慰。如果没能达成目标，将会体验到一种强烈的挫败感。

这种对成功目标的追求似乎让我们永远不会得到快乐和满足，或许正如歌德所说：“每个人都想成功，但并不是每个人都获得了成长。”成功是一个点，而成长则是一个过程；成功源自外界评价，而成长则是一种内在知觉；正是我们担心失去的成功往往转瞬即逝，而经历痛苦的成长不会被别人剥夺。“寻找自我、表达自我，并感到快乐”是杨澜对于成长的理解。这种对成功的广义诠释才能有助于培育我们的智慧和健全的人格。

成功与选择

盛大网络的陈天桥对杨澜回忆说，当他用30万美元购买一款网络游戏时，人们都说“陈天桥是门外汉干门内事”。选择已经开学一个月的时间投放产品无疑将因“淡季”而遭遇惨败。面对与所有人预期相反的事实，选择没有竞争对手的“淡季”成了后来人们总结盛大成功的原因，而也正是这样的选择成就了这个“门外汉”。

有了采访500余位成功人士的积淀，杨澜觉得每个人共同的特征都是经历困境，而有的时候选择是要靠直觉做出的。94年事业如日中天的杨澜放弃了央视的平台，辗转美国哥伦比亚大学深造。“当时没有什么象后来别人说的激流勇退之类的太多想法，就是不想做‘花瓶’，想见识更大的世界，实现自己的增值。”她这样回忆。

无论是陈天桥，还是杨澜，都是在不能清晰预见结果如何的情况下，凭着直觉放手一搏的。但这种直觉的选择却并不是凭空而来，寻找到什么样的自我、以何种方式表达自我都取决于一个人的性格和品质。运气与机遇、才华与能力会影响一个人是否能取得成功，但这种影响只是中期、甚至短期的，选择和性格才会在更大尺度上决定你的人生。所以寻找自我是成长的关键，做出选择之后也要为自己的决定负责，承担起相应的责任和风险。“人生无非活该二字”，杨澜很同意演员李琦的这句话。

带来快乐的不光是自身的成长，更应包括帮助别人、成就别人的行为。2001年杨澜采访刘少奇的夫人王光美女士，给她留下的最大印象就是这个经历常人无法想象的痛苦、磨砺之后能够对当初施加迫害的“仇人”以德报怨，如此宽容的胸怀是一种何等的品质。成长的动力也来自于情感的力量、对于善意的信仰，杨澜对席琳迪翁和丈夫深厚感情的描述让在场师生不禁热烈鼓掌。

在杨澜对这些卓越人物的娓娓道来之中，记者突然觉得，对于善的追求也许正是她将阳光媒体投资集团权益的51%无偿捐献给社会，并在香港成立非盈利机构阳光文化基金会这一选择的初衷吧。“帮助别人是一种快乐，所以爱别人就是爱自己。”杨澜说。人生的减法

90年毕业的杨澜是第一届面临自主择业的大学生中的一员，凭借运气、实力和“厚脸皮”，她从7轮考试中脱颖而出，并主持了《正大综艺》、成为全民偶像。4年之后，这个给人感觉精明、干练的名主持人就消失在央视的舞台上了。回国之后，杨澜主持了《杨澜视线》、《天下女人》等节目，而大家所熟知的《杨澜访谈录》，她一做就是9年。

从娱乐节目到高端访谈，再到探讨女性成长的大型脱口秀节目，作为主持人，杨澜一直备受欢迎。进入21世纪，这位成功的职业女性更是一步跨入商界，成为阳光文化网络电视有限公司主席，实现了从体制内到体制外，从主持人转变为独立电视制片人的转型。

如果说她一直在转型之中找寻自己，那么这找寻的结果又是怎样的呢？

记者：在我理解，传媒人的职业荣誉在于深刻的关注和记录社会并影响社会进程。所以传媒人要有一种儒家所谓俯仰天地、悲天悯人、大彻大悟的文人气质。而随着社会发展“媒介也经济”了，作为一个传媒人，您也有过一系列的商业运作。请问在自我寻找和自我表达的过程中您是如何平衡自己“文人”和“商人”的角色的？

杨澜：平衡很重要，我一向反对非此即彼的二元论，而是要在人生的“光谱”上选择自己的颜色。从世界范围来看，传媒普遍面临着保障收视率等运营压力，因为市场机制使得竞争激烈、资源被摊薄。这个平衡点是要作出比较具体和量化的选择的，比如说做3集比较吸引人的节目，像成龙、李连杰、甄子丹，作一集深刻记录社会发展变化的节目，像我四天前就香港回归10周年采访了曾荫权。

可以说现在的发展不能不商业化，而完全的商业化绝对难以走远。2000年，我觉得设立“人文纪录片频道”是一个将“文人”和“商人”追求结合的比较好的理想选择。因为随着人们需求的发展，纪录片门类一定有着广泛的需求。而最后并不成功是因为注册于香港的电视台不能在大陆百分之百落地，而且收费电视模式在中国的发展尚需时日。但一路走来，我对自己最满意和骄傲的是一直忠实于自己的想法，还是那“活该”二字。

从失败之中我们可以了解自己的局限，做好人生的减法，其实一辈子做好一两件事足已。所以我现在又回到自己擅长的媒体内容制作上面来，通过《天下女人》栏目，我希望能了解现代白领女性的生活状态，做都市女性“精神补给站”。

杨澜会中所提及的22点成长与成功启发：

1．成长是一个寻找自己的过程，也是一个表达自己的过程。

2．成功是一个点，成长是一个过程。

3．成功要靠外界的评价，成长要靠内心的感受。

4．人一旦成功就害怕失去，而成长是可以延续的。

5．失去成功比退潮还快，而成长却是一棵树，只有根扎的深“树”才会永远不倒。

6．成功固然很重要，但每个人经历更多的却是困境。

7．如果只甘于做一个花瓶，你迟早会失去光彩。所以人要不断地学习、深造，不断地提升自己，做自己喜欢做的事。

8．决定一个人的命运的不是他的能力，而是他的清醒。

9．机会、才华、性格都会对人的成长起到作用。

10．不断的选择塑造了你的生活，不是因为机会，甚至不是因为你的才华。

11．人对自己的了解不是一开始就是知道的，寻找自己的过程是成长的根本。

12．一个人要想成功，脸皮要足够“厚”。

13．有时候成功要靠直觉。

14．年轻的可贵是敢于愤怒、敢于突破。

15．我从不相信成功是一种爆发，我相信成功是一种积累，是一种对人的善意。

16．偶然都是存在于必然之中。

17．如果你伤害了别人，请你说声“对不起！”；如果你欠了别人的钱，请你不要忘记还上。这是做人的基本原则，也是成功者必须具备的素质。

18．爱，是这个世界上最有力量的东西，爱你周围的人，爱你的亲人，爱你自己。

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！

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
