The first TEDxSoongChingLingSchool event rang down the curtain successfully at Soong Ching Ling School Theater on May 28th,2021.

所有你需要知道的事情

Everything you need to Know

在包罗万象的世界中,千奇百怪的事情随时都在发生。本次TEDx演讲活动便是围绕着「所有你需要知道的事情」这一主题展开,其中涵盖了诸多领域的知识。

In this diverse and inclusive world,thousands of interesting and unusual things are happening. Therefore, the first TEDxSoongChingLingSchool’s theme was "Everything You Need To Know", which includes knowledge from a variety of subjects.


有的同学通过儿童书籍阐释如何看待最真实的自己——“请记住:你就是你,这毫无疑问。因为你是独一无二的。”--Sophia.

Through the lens of a children’s picture book, Sophia Ji taught us how to face our true selves: "Remember, 'Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you.'"


有的同学从摄影延展到我们应当不懈努力向前——“在全力以赴地尝试与体验中提升自己,才能从生活中获得最大的收获” -- Emma.

Emma Gonzalez-Cueto learned from her experience of trying photography that, "It's in those moments where we make an honest attempt, and learn about ourselves from the outcome, that we get the most out of our life."

涉及到社会问题,有的同学讲述了性别平等的主题——“‘只有卫生间才有性别之差。’现在是2021年,在新的时代里,不应当被性别不同而决定我们的人生,我们的未来,我们将成为什么样的人。”-- Jiayu.

Moving away from the individuals andembracing society as a whole, Jiayu Wang talked about the importance of gender equality. "'Gender is for the bathrooms, and nothing else.' We're in newtimes, a new era. This is 2021. It is long past the time where we let gender determine our lives, how we should be, who we can or cannot be."


还有同学关注每日陪伴着我们的宠物——“每个生命都是平等的,它们带给你喜悦与欢乐的泪水;它们让你的生活变得充实,还能将你从作业的深渊中拯救出来。请关爱所有动物!”-- Cherry

Showing love and care for animals that accompany us every day is also important. Just as Cherry Shen said, "Every pet is equal. They make you laugh;they make you cry with happiness; they make your heart swell with joy. They make your life fulfilled, they help you through life, if not rescue you from the abyss of homework. Please care about all animals!"

同学们从多元的角度探讨了如何面对生活,如何对待动物,如何看待影响着人类社会发展进程的神话故事、科技创新、性别平等、资源浪费、环境污染等问题。

其中,Emmanuelle Jia在她的演讲中插播了一段“广告”,向观众们介绍了学生自发组织的环境保护项目,通过义卖、募捐等方式,为我们的社区种植更多树木。TEDx活动不止局限于演讲,更融合了多种表演形式。Sophia Ji在演讲最后为大家献上了一首原创曲目,从音乐的角度带给观众全新的体验。


The speakers elaborated extensively on how to live our lives, how to care after animals, how to view the mythical stories that impact our daily lives, how to boost scientific innovation, how to mitigate the adverse effects brought by climate changes, why should attain gender equality, etc.


Among the speeches, Emmanuelle Jia advocated for her class"Community Action Project" that targeted for environmental protection. They decided to make and sell handworks from the wastes they collected in natural environments. They were able to raise over 2000RMB anddonated all the proceeds to an organization to plant more trees in our community. Therefore, the audience weren’t just becoming aware of these issues,instead, they were participating in the project and making good efforts to saveour planet!


Furthermore, TEDx events are not restrained to speeches only. Instead, it champions for all types of performances! At the end of the speech, Sophia Ji played and sang her original song that ties closely to the "self and perfection" topic of her speech, giving the audience another unique experience through music.


台上一分钟,台下十年功

第一届TEDx SoongChingLingSchool活动的成功源于台下无数次修改与排练。

The countless revisions and practices contributed to the success of the first TEDxSoongChingLingSchool event.


在短短的三个多月时间里,大家无比努力:不断向老师征求修改意见,完善演讲内容,无时无刻都在练习。

Everyone was working as hard as possible during those 3 months: asking teachers for suggestions for their speeches, modifying their speeches until the last moment, and practicing day and night for the final show. 


在TEDx SoongChingLingSchool的Onenote文档上至今可以看到许许多多的荧光闪烁 —— 呈现着无数老师和同学们的建议和修改记录。

The pages on the TEDxSoongChingLingSchool OneNote are covered with highlights and comments, including 5-6 drafts per speaker.


The Team Behind the Scenes

幕后们

共有30余位同学投身于TEDx活动的台前幕后,整个活动的摄影、宣传、设计等都是由TEDx社团的成员独立完成。有的同学还身兼两职,既是幕后,又是演讲者。大家总能看到无数个小小的,忙碌的身影在大剧院内奔波。尽管有些人无法在台上闪光,但他们造就了舞台上小伙伴们成功的演讲。成功属于所有的同学们。

As our team consisted only of students,some committed for jobs working behind the curtains. They carried many heavy equipment in the theater during the show just to get some good shots of the speakers on stage. Some of them had two jobs, both a part of the production team and the speakers. Although some of them cannot shine on stage, their endeavors led to the success of their friends' speeches. Success belongs to everyone in the team.

当我们看到,所有观众都全神贯注地聆听,对演讲者报以热烈的掌声与欢呼声,我们知道大家也一定有自己的收获和感悟!
When we saw the audience were absorbed in our speeches and were applauding and cheering for our speakers, we knew that they must have had a deep connection with the topics!

第一届活动完美落幕,演出结束观众纷纷留下建议与感想,也带给我们深深地启迪,相信有了这一次的经验,下一届TEDx SoongChingLingSchool将更加精彩、更加多样且具有启发性,承扬TED的精神:"值得分享的想法”!
As the first TEDxSoongChingLingSchool event, we still had a lot of room to improve. After the event, we asked the audience to leave their comments and thoughts on a whiteboard. We received a lot of praise as well as constructive suggestions. Having this experience, the next TEDxSoongChingLingSchool will be more fabulous, diverse, and inspirational.We will further pursue the spirit of TED: ideas worth spreading! See you all a tour next event!
