0:00:00.000,0:00:03.000
The night before I was heading for Scotland,

0:00:03.000,0:00:06.000
I was invited to host the final

0:00:06.000,0:00:09.000
of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai

0:00:09.000,0:00:13.000
with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.

0:00:13.000,0:00:16.000
Guess who was the performing guest?

0:00:16.000,0:00:19.000
Susan Boyle.

0:00:19.000,0:00:23.000
And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day."

0:00:23.000,0:00:25.000
She sang beautifully,

0:00:25.000,0:00:29.000
and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese:

0:00:29.000,0:00:32.000
送你葱

0:00:32.000,0:00:34.000
So it's not like "hello" or "thank you,"

0:00:34.000,0:00:36.000
that ordinary stuff.

0:00:36.000,0:00:38.000
It means "green onion for free."

0:00:38.000,0:00:41.000
Why did she say that?

0:00:41.000,0:00:44.000
Because it was a line

0:00:44.000,0:00:47.000
from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle --

0:00:47.000,0:00:49.000
a 50-some year-old woman,

0:00:49.000,0:00:51.000
a vegetable vendor in Shanghai,

0:00:51.000,0:00:54.000
who loves singing Western opera,

0:00:54.000,0:00:56.000
but she didn't understand

0:00:56.000,0:00:58.000
any English or French or Italian,

0:00:58.000,0:01:00.000
so she managed to fill in the lyrics

0:01:00.000,0:01:02.000
with vegetable names in Chinese.

0:01:02.000,0:01:04.000
(Laughter)

0:01:04.000,0:01:07.000
And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma

0:01:07.000,0:01:09.000
that she was singing in the stadium

0:01:09.000,0:01:12.000
was "green onion for free."

0:01:12.000,0:01:15.000
So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that,

0:01:15.000,0:01:18.000
80,000 live audience sang together.

0:01:18.000,0:01:21.000
That was hilarious.

0:01:21.000,0:01:24.000
So I guess both Susan Boyle

0:01:24.000,0:01:27.000
and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai

0:01:27.000,0:01:29.000
belonged to otherness.

0:01:29.000,0:01:31.000
They were the least expected to be successful

0:01:31.000,0:01:34.000
in the business called entertainment,

0:01:34.000,0:01:37.000
yet their courage and talent brought them through.

0:01:37.000,0:01:40.000
And a show and a platform

0:01:40.000,0:01:42.000
gave them the stage

0:01:42.000,0:01:45.000
to realize their dreams.

0:01:45.000,0:01:49.000
Well, being different is not that difficult.

0:01:49.000,0:01:51.000
We are all different

0:01:51.000,0:01:53.000
from different perspectives.

0:01:53.000,0:01:55.000
But I think being different is good,

0:01:55.000,0:01:58.000
because you present a different point of view.

0:01:58.000,0:02:01.000
You may have the chance to make a difference.

0:02:01.000,0:02:03.000
My generation has been very fortunate

0:02:03.000,0:02:05.000
to witness and participate

0:02:05.000,0:02:08.000
in the historic transformation of China

0:02:08.000,0:02:10.000
that has made so many changes

0:02:10.000,0:02:13.000
in the past 20, 30 years.

0:02:13.000,0:02:16.000
I remember that in the year of 1990,

0:02:16.000,0:02:18.000
when I was graduating from college,

0:02:18.000,0:02:21.000
I was applying for a job in the sales department

0:02:21.000,0:02:23.000
of the first five-star hotel in Beijing,

0:02:23.000,0:02:27.000
Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there.

0:02:27.000,0:02:29.000
So after being interrogated

0:02:29.000,0:02:31.000
by this Japanese manager for a half an hour,

0:02:31.000,0:02:33.000
he finally said,

0:02:33.000,0:02:35.000
"So, Miss Yang,

0:02:35.000,0:02:38.000
do you have any questions to ask me?"

0:02:38.000,0:02:41.000
I summoned my courage and poise and said,

0:02:41.000,0:02:43.000
"Yes, but could you let me know,

0:02:43.000,0:02:46.000
what actually do you sell?"

0:02:46.000,0:02:48.000
I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about

0:02:48.000,0:02:50.000
in a five-star hotel.

0:02:50.000,0:02:52.000
That was the first day I set my foot

0:02:52.000,0:02:54.000
in a five-star hotel.

0:02:54.000,0:02:56.000
Around the same time,

0:02:56.000,0:02:59.000
I was going through an audition --

0:02:59.000,0:03:01.000
the first ever open audition

0:03:01.000,0:03:04.000
by national television in China --

0:03:04.000,0:03:07.000
with another thousand college girls.

0:03:07.000,0:03:09.000
The producer told us

0:03:09.000,0:03:11.000
they were looking for some sweet, innocent

0:03:11.000,0:03:14.000
and beautiful fresh face.

0:03:14.000,0:03:17.000
So when it was my turn, I stood up and said,

0:03:17.000,0:03:20.000
"Why [do] women's personalities on television

0:03:20.000,0:03:23.000
always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent

0:03:23.000,0:03:26.000
and, you know, supportive?

0:03:26.000,0:03:28.000
Why can't they have their own ideas

0:03:28.000,0:03:30.000
and their own voice?"

0:03:30.000,0:03:34.000
I thought I kind of offended them.

0:03:34.000,0:03:38.000
But actually, they were impressed by my words.

0:03:38.000,0:03:40.000
And so I was in the second round of competition,

0:03:40.000,0:03:42.000
and then the third and the fourth.

0:03:42.000,0:03:44.000
After seven rounds of competition,

0:03:44.000,0:03:47.000
I was the last one to survive it.

0:03:47.000,0:03:50.000
So I was on a national television prime-time show.

0:03:50.000,0:03:52.000
And believe it or not,

0:03:52.000,0:03:54.000
that was the first show on Chinese television

0:03:54.000,0:03:56.000
that allowed its hosts

0:03:56.000,0:03:58.000
to speak out of their own minds

0:03:58.000,0:04:01.000
without reading an approved script.

0:04:01.000,0:04:05.000
(Applause)

0:04:05.000,0:04:07.000
And my weekly audience at that time

0:04:07.000,0:04:11.000
was between 200 to 300 million people.

0:04:11.000,0:04:13.000
Well after a few years,

0:04:13.000,0:04:16.000
I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University

0:04:16.000,0:04:18.000
to pursue my postgraduate studies,

0:04:18.000,0:04:20.000
and then started my own media company,

0:04:20.000,0:04:23.000
which was unthought of

0:04:23.000,0:04:25.000
during the years that I started my career.

0:04:25.000,0:04:27.000
So we do a lot of things.

0:04:27.000,0:04:30.000
I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.

0:04:30.000,0:04:33.000
And sometimes I have young people approaching me

0:04:33.000,0:04:35.000
say, "Lan, you changed my life,"

0:04:35.000,0:04:37.000
and I feel proud of that.

0:04:37.000,0:04:39.000
But then we are also so fortunate

0:04:39.000,0:04:42.000
to witness the transformation of the whole country.

0:04:42.000,0:04:46.000
I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.

0:04:46.000,0:04:48.000
I was representing the Shanghai Expo.

0:04:48.000,0:04:50.000
I saw China embracing the world

0:04:50.000,0:04:52.000
and vice versa.

0:04:52.000,0:04:55.000
But then sometimes I'm thinking,

0:04:55.000,0:04:59.000
what are today's young generation up to?

0:04:59.000,0:05:01.000
How are they different,

0:05:01.000,0:05:03.000
and what are the differences they are going to make

0:05:03.000,0:05:05.000
to shape the future of China,

0:05:05.000,0:05:08.000
or at large, the world?

0:05:08.000,0:05:10.000
So today I want to talk about young people

0:05:10.000,0:05:13.000
through the platform of social media.

0:05:13.000,0:05:16.000
First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like?

0:05:16.000,0:05:18.000
Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei --

0:05:18.000,0:05:20.000
20 years old, beautiful.

0:05:20.000,0:05:23.000
She showed off her expensive bags,

0:05:23.000,0:05:25.000
clothes and car

0:05:25.000,0:05:27.000
on her microblog,

0:05:27.000,0:05:29.000
which is the Chinese version of Twitter.

0:05:29.000,0:05:33.000
And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross

0:05:33.000,0:05:36.000
at the Chamber of Commerce.

0:05:36.000,0:05:38.000
She didn't realize

0:05:38.000,0:05:40.000
that she stepped on a sensitive nerve

0:05:40.000,0:05:42.000
and aroused national questioning,

0:05:42.000,0:05:44.000
almost a turmoil,

0:05:44.000,0:05:47.000
against the credibility of Red Cross.

0:05:47.000,0:05:50.000
The controversy was so heated

0:05:50.000,0:05:52.000
that the Red Cross had to open a press conference

0:05:52.000,0:05:54.000
to clarify it,

0:05:54.000,0:05:56.000
and the investigation is going on.

0:05:56.000,0:05:59.000
So far, as of today,

0:05:59.000,0:06:02.000
we know that she herself made up that title --

0:06:02.000,0:06:05.000
probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.

0:06:05.000,0:06:07.000
All those expensive items

0:06:07.000,0:06:09.000
were given to her as gifts

0:06:09.000,0:06:11.000
by her boyfriend,

0:06:11.000,0:06:13.000
who used to be a board member

0:06:13.000,0:06:16.000
in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.

0:06:16.000,0:06:19.000
It's very complicated to explain.

0:06:19.000,0:06:22.000
But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.

0:06:22.000,0:06:24.000
It is still boiling.

0:06:24.000,0:06:27.000
It shows us a general mistrust

0:06:27.000,0:06:30.000
of government or government-backed institutions,

0:06:30.000,0:06:33.000
which lacked transparency in the past.

0:06:33.000,0:06:35.000
And also it showed us

0:06:35.000,0:06:38.000
the power and the impact of social media

0:06:38.000,0:06:40.000
as microblog.

0:06:40.000,0:06:43.000
Microblog boomed in the year of 2010,

0:06:43.000,0:06:45.000
with visitors doubled

0:06:45.000,0:06:48.000
and time spent on it tripled.

0:06:48.000,0:06:50.000
Sina.com, a major news portal,

0:06:50.000,0:06:54.000
alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.

0:06:54.000,0:06:56.000
On Tencent, 200 million.

0:06:56.000,0:06:58.000
The most popular blogger --

0:06:58.000,0:07:00.000
it's not me --

0:07:00.000,0:07:02.000
it's a movie star,

0:07:02.000,0:07:06.000
and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.

0:07:06.000,0:07:09.000
About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people,

0:07:09.000,0:07:12.000
under 30 years old.

0:07:12.000,0:07:14.000
And because, as you know,

0:07:14.000,0:07:17.000
the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,

0:07:17.000,0:07:19.000
social media offers an opening

0:07:19.000,0:07:21.000
to let the steam out a little bit.

0:07:21.000,0:07:24.000
But because you don't have many other openings,

0:07:24.000,0:07:27.000
the heat coming out of this opening

0:07:27.000,0:07:30.000
is sometimes very strong, active

0:07:30.000,0:07:32.000
and even violent.

0:07:32.000,0:07:34.000
So through microblogging,

0:07:34.000,0:07:37.000
we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.

0:07:37.000,0:07:39.000
So how are they different?

0:07:39.000,0:07:41.000
First of all, most of them were born

0:07:41.000,0:07:43.000
in the 80s and 90s,

0:07:43.000,0:07:46.000
under the one-child policy.

0:07:46.000,0:07:48.000
And because of selected abortion

0:07:48.000,0:07:50.000
by families who favored boys to girls,

0:07:50.000,0:07:52.000
now we have ended up

0:07:52.000,0:07:55.000
with 30 million more young men than women.

0:07:55.000,0:07:57.000
That could pose

0:07:57.000,0:07:59.000
a potential danger to the society,

0:07:59.000,0:08:01.000
but who knows;

0:08:01.000,0:08:03.000
we're in a globalized world,

0:08:03.000,0:08:07.000
so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.

0:08:07.000,0:08:10.000
Most of them have fairly good education.

0:08:10.000,0:08:13.000
The illiteracy rate in China among this generation

0:08:13.000,0:08:16.000
is under one percent.

0:08:16.000,0:08:19.000
In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.

0:08:19.000,0:08:23.000
But they are facing an aging China

0:08:23.000,0:08:26.000
with a population above 65 years old

0:08:26.000,0:08:29.000
coming up with seven-point-some percent this year,

0:08:29.000,0:08:31.000
and about to be 15 percent

0:08:31.000,0:08:33.000
by the year of 2030.

0:08:33.000,0:08:35.000
And you know we have the tradition

0:08:35.000,0:08:37.000
that younger generations support the elders financially,

0:08:37.000,0:08:39.000
and taking care of them when they're sick.

0:08:39.000,0:08:41.000
So it means young couples

0:08:41.000,0:08:44.000
will have to support four parents

0:08:44.000,0:08:48.000
who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.

0:08:48.000,0:08:50.000
So making a living is not that easy

0:08:50.000,0:08:52.000
for young people.

0:08:52.000,0:08:55.000
College graduates are not in short supply.

0:08:55.000,0:08:57.000
In urban areas,

0:08:57.000,0:08:59.000
college graduates find the starting salary

0:08:59.000,0:09:01.000
is about 400 U.S. dollars a month,

0:09:01.000,0:09:03.000
while the average rent

0:09:03.000,0:09:05.000
is above $500.

0:09:05.000,0:09:08.000
So what do they do? They have to share space --

0:09:08.000,0:09:10.000
squeezed in very limited space

0:09:10.000,0:09:12.000
to save money --

0:09:12.000,0:09:15.000
and they call themselves "tribe of ants."

0:09:15.000,0:09:17.000
And for those who are ready to get married

0:09:17.000,0:09:19.000
and buy their apartment,

0:09:19.000,0:09:21.000
they figured out they have to work

0:09:21.000,0:09:23.000
for 30 to 40 years

0:09:23.000,0:09:25.000
to afford their first apartment.

0:09:25.000,0:09:27.000
That ratio in America

0:09:27.000,0:09:29.000
would only cost a couple five years to earn,

0:09:29.000,0:09:32.000
but in China it's 30 to 40 years

0:09:32.000,0:09:36.000
with the skyrocketing real estate price.

0:09:36.000,0:09:39.000
Among the 200 million migrant workers,

0:09:39.000,0:09:42.000
60 percent of them are young people.

0:09:42.000,0:09:44.000
They find themselves sort of sandwiched

0:09:44.000,0:09:47.000
between the urban areas and the rural areas.

0:09:47.000,0:09:50.000
Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside,

0:09:50.000,0:09:52.000
but they don't have the sense of belonging.

0:09:52.000,0:09:54.000
They work for longer hours

0:09:54.000,0:09:57.000
with less income, less social welfare.

0:09:57.000,0:09:59.000
And they're more vulnerable

0:09:59.000,0:10:01.000
to job losses,

0:10:01.000,0:10:03.000
subject to inflation,

0:10:03.000,0:10:05.000
tightening loans from banks,

0:10:05.000,0:10:07.000
appreciation of the renminbi,

0:10:07.000,0:10:09.000
or decline of demand

0:10:09.000,0:10:11.000
from Europe or America

0:10:11.000,0:10:13.000
for the products they produce.

0:10:13.000,0:10:15.000
Last year, though,

0:10:15.000,0:10:17.000
an appalling incident

0:10:17.000,0:10:20.000
in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China:

0:10:20.000,0:10:22.000
13 young workers

0:10:22.000,0:10:24.000
in their late teens and early 20s

0:10:24.000,0:10:26.000
committed suicide,

0:10:26.000,0:10:30.000
just one by one like causing a contagious disease.

0:10:30.000,0:10:34.000
But they died because of all different personal reasons.

0:10:34.000,0:10:36.000
But this whole incident

0:10:36.000,0:10:38.000
aroused a huge outcry from society

0:10:38.000,0:10:40.000
about the isolation,

0:10:40.000,0:10:42.000
both physical and mental,

0:10:42.000,0:10:44.000
of these migrant workers.

0:10:44.000,0:10:46.000
For those who do return back to the countryside,

0:10:46.000,0:10:49.000
they find themselves very welcome locally,

0:10:49.000,0:10:51.000
because with the knowledge, skills and networks

0:10:51.000,0:10:53.000
they have learned in the cities,

0:10:53.000,0:10:55.000
with the assistance of the Internet,

0:10:55.000,0:10:58.000
they're able to create more jobs,

0:10:58.000,0:11:00.000
upgrade local agriculture and create new business

0:11:00.000,0:11:02.000
in the less developed market.

0:11:02.000,0:11:05.000
So for the past few years, the coastal areas,

0:11:05.000,0:11:08.000
they found themselves in a shortage of labor.

0:11:08.000,0:11:10.000
These diagrams show

0:11:10.000,0:11:12.000
a more general social background.

0:11:12.000,0:11:15.000
The first one is the Engels coefficient,

0:11:15.000,0:11:18.000
which explains that the cost of daily necessities

0:11:18.000,0:11:20.000
has dropped its percentage

0:11:20.000,0:11:22.000
all through the past decade,

0:11:22.000,0:11:24.000
in terms of family income,

0:11:24.000,0:11:27.000
to about 37-some percent.

0:11:27.000,0:11:29.000
But then in the last two years,

0:11:29.000,0:11:31.000
it goes up again to 39 percent,

0:11:31.000,0:11:34.000
indicating a rising living cost.

0:11:34.000,0:11:36.000
The Gini coefficient

0:11:36.000,0:11:39.000
has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.

0:11:39.000,0:11:41.000
Now it's 0.5 --

0:11:41.000,0:11:44.000
even worse than that in America --

0:11:44.000,0:11:47.000
showing us the income inequality.

0:11:47.000,0:11:49.000
And so you see this whole society

0:11:49.000,0:11:51.000
getting frustrated

0:11:51.000,0:11:54.000
about losing some of its mobility.

0:11:54.000,0:11:57.000
And also, the bitterness and even resentment

0:11:57.000,0:11:59.000
towards the rich and the powerful

0:11:59.000,0:12:01.000
is quite widespread.

0:12:01.000,0:12:03.000
So any accusations of corruption

0:12:03.000,0:12:07.000
or backdoor dealings between authorities or business

0:12:07.000,0:12:09.000
would arouse a social outcry

0:12:09.000,0:12:11.000
or even unrest.

0:12:11.000,0:12:15.000
So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging,

0:12:15.000,0:12:18.000
we can see what young people care most about.

0:12:18.000,0:12:20.000
Social justice and government accountability

0:12:20.000,0:12:23.000
runs the first in what they demand.

0:12:23.000,0:12:25.000
For the past decade or so,

0:12:25.000,0:12:29.000
a massive urbanization and development

0:12:29.000,0:12:32.000
have let us witness a lot of reports

0:12:32.000,0:12:34.000
on the forced demolition

0:12:34.000,0:12:36.000
of private property.

0:12:36.000,0:12:39.000
And it has aroused huge anger and frustration

0:12:39.000,0:12:41.000
among our young generation.

0:12:41.000,0:12:43.000
Sometimes people get killed,

0:12:43.000,0:12:47.000
and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.

0:12:47.000,0:12:49.000
So when these incidents are reported

0:12:49.000,0:12:51.000
more and more frequently on the Internet,

0:12:51.000,0:12:54.000
people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.

0:12:54.000,0:12:57.000
So the good news is that earlier this year,

0:12:57.000,0:13:00.000
the state council passed a new regulation

0:13:00.000,0:13:03.000
on house requisition and demolition

0:13:03.000,0:13:05.000
and passed the right

0:13:05.000,0:13:07.000
to order forced demolition from local governments

0:13:07.000,0:13:09.000
to the court.

0:13:10.000,0:13:13.000
Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety

0:13:13.000,0:13:16.000
is a hot topic on the Internet.

0:13:16.000,0:13:18.000
We heard about polluted air,

0:13:18.000,0:13:21.000
polluted water, poisoned food.

0:13:21.000,0:13:24.000
And guess what, we have faked beef.

0:13:24.000,0:13:26.000
They have sorts of ingredients

0:13:26.000,0:13:29.000
that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish,

0:13:29.000,0:13:32.000
and it turns it to look like beef.

0:13:32.000,0:13:34.000
And then lately,

0:13:34.000,0:13:36.000
people are very concerned about cooking oil,

0:13:36.000,0:13:39.000
because thousands of people have been found

0:13:39.000,0:13:41.000
[refining] cooking oil

0:13:41.000,0:13:43.000
from restaurant slop.

0:13:43.000,0:13:45.000
So all these things

0:13:45.000,0:13:49.000
have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.

0:13:49.000,0:13:51.000
And fortunately,

0:13:51.000,0:13:53.000
we have seen the government

0:13:53.000,0:13:56.000
responding more timely and also more frequently

0:13:56.000,0:13:58.000
to the public concerns.

0:13:58.000,0:14:00.000
While young people seem to be very sure

0:14:00.000,0:14:02.000
about their participation

0:14:02.000,0:14:04.000
in public policy-making,

0:14:04.000,0:14:06.000
but sometimes they're a little bit lost

0:14:06.000,0:14:09.000
in terms of what they want for their personal life.

0:14:09.000,0:14:11.000
China is soon to pass the U.S.

0:14:11.000,0:14:13.000
as the number one market

0:14:13.000,0:14:15.000
for luxury brands --

0:14:15.000,0:14:17.000
that's not including the Chinese expenditures

0:14:17.000,0:14:19.000
in Europe and elsewhere.

0:14:19.000,0:14:22.000
But you know what, half of those consumers

0:14:22.000,0:14:25.000
are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S. dollars.

0:14:25.000,0:14:27.000
They're not rich at all.

0:14:27.000,0:14:30.000
They're taking those bags and clothes

0:14:30.000,0:14:33.000
as a sense of identity and social status.

0:14:33.000,0:14:35.000
And this is a girl explicitly saying

0:14:35.000,0:14:37.000
on a TV dating show

0:14:37.000,0:14:39.000
that she would rather cry in a BMW

0:14:39.000,0:14:42.000
than smile on a bicycle.

0:14:42.000,0:14:44.000
But of course, we do have young people

0:14:44.000,0:14:46.000
who would still prefer to smile,

0:14:46.000,0:14:48.000
whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.

0:14:48.000,0:14:52.000
So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon

0:14:52.000,0:14:55.000
called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage.

0:14:55.000,0:14:58.000
It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding,

0:14:58.000,0:15:01.000
but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married

0:15:01.000,0:15:04.000
without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring

0:15:04.000,0:15:06.000
and without a wedding banquet,

0:15:06.000,0:15:09.000
to show their commitment to true love.

0:15:09.000,0:15:12.000
And also, people are doing good through social media.

0:15:12.000,0:15:14.000
And the first picture showed us

0:15:14.000,0:15:18.000
that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogs

0:15:18.000,0:15:20.000
for food processing

0:15:20.000,0:15:23.000
was spotted and stopped on the highway

0:15:23.000,0:15:25.000
with the whole country watching

0:15:25.000,0:15:27.000
through microblogging.

0:15:27.000,0:15:29.000
People were donating money, dog food

0:15:29.000,0:15:32.000
and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.

0:15:32.000,0:15:34.000
And after hours of negotiation,

0:15:34.000,0:15:37.000
500 dogs were rescued.

0:15:37.000,0:15:41.000
And here also people are helping to find missing children.

0:15:41.000,0:15:44.000
A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet.

0:15:44.000,0:15:47.000
After thousands of resends in relay,

0:15:47.000,0:15:49.000
the child was found,

0:15:49.000,0:15:52.000
and we witnessed the reunion of the family

0:15:52.000,0:15:54.000
through microblogging.

0:15:54.000,0:15:57.000
So happiness is the most popular word

0:15:57.000,0:16:00.000
we have heard through the past two years.

0:16:00.000,0:16:03.000
Happiness is not only related

0:16:03.000,0:16:05.000
to personal experiences and personal values,

0:16:05.000,0:16:07.000
but also, it's about the environment.

0:16:07.000,0:16:10.000
People are thinking about the following questions:

0:16:10.000,0:16:13.000
Are we going to sacrifice our environment further

0:16:13.000,0:16:16.000
to produce higher GDP?

0:16:16.000,0:16:19.000
How are we going to perform our social and political reform

0:16:19.000,0:16:22.000
to keep pace with economic growth,

0:16:22.000,0:16:25.000
to keep sustainability and stability?

0:16:25.000,0:16:28.000
And also, how capable is the system

0:16:28.000,0:16:30.000
of self-correctness

0:16:30.000,0:16:33.000
to keep more people content

0:16:33.000,0:16:36.000
with all sorts of friction going on at the same time?

0:16:36.000,0:16:39.000
I guess these are the questions people are going to answer.

0:16:39.000,0:16:41.000
And our younger generation

0:16:41.000,0:16:43.000
are going to transform this country

0:16:43.000,0:16:47.000
while at the same time being transformed themselves.

0:16:47.000,0:16:49.000
Thank you very much.

0:16:49.000,0:16:52.000
(Applause)
