Before Zheng Yujie came back, Yang Guo flew to Canada on the other side of the ocean. It's been a year since I saw you. Yang Guo went a few days early to visit grandma Monroe on the way.
Fang Beibei and Qiqi didn't travel together this time, so Yang Guo went to foreign countries alone. Yang Guo is not very worried about this, because he can communicate smoothly wherever he goes now, not to mention Canada, which is mainly English and French
Vancouver is a city with more Chinese. You can see Chinese faces and hear Chinese voices when walking on the street, which makes Yang Guo feel particularly cordial.
In particular, he was recognized by local Chinese when shopping in a convenience store
It was the third generation of Chinese immigrants who recognized Yang Guo. He was a very young man, 17 or 18 years old, and his Mandarin accent was very awkward. He introduced himself and said his name was Bert Lee. Of course, later, Yang Guo learned that he also had white blood and his mother was white.
His father's name is Blake Li, and his Chinese name is Li Dazhuang. He is a second-generation immigrant. He is a Chinese native in Canada. However, it may be that he often communicates with his elders in Chinese. Li Dazhuang's Mandarin is fairly good.
What surprised Yang Guo was that Bert was able to recognize him, not because he had been on the stage of Bali fashion week, nor because he had been reported by major media all over the world because of the heroic actions of Kun Ming railway station, but because of Chinese and the Chinese teaching video recorded for Yang Guo
"Bert didn't like learning Chinese very much before, and we can't help him," Li Dazhuang said with a smile to Yang Guo. "Later, I heard that there was such a simple teaching video online, so I asked him to have a look. After all, the motherland and Chinese are our Chinese roots. Now I see that his learning effect is very good."
"In the past, I didn't want to learn because it was difficult to learn. I couldn't understand it just by listening to the class. Now it has become simple. Don't talk about me. Several of my classmates have begun to say that they want to learn Chinese." Bert explained, but he used English. Now he has no big problem in listening to Chinese, and he is still a little poor in speaking.
"Haha, Bert, it doesn't matter. You have to speak boldly. Language can only be practiced by opening your mouth," Yang Guo encouraged with a smile.
Don't say, Bert adores Yang Guo very much. He immediately said word by word with an awkward accent, "Brother Leon, you, I'll search your business. You're super on the Internet."
It turned out that after studying, Bert also specially went to Wikipedia to look for the introduction of Yang Guo, and found that Yang Guo had done many amazing things
After chatting with them for a while, Yang Guo went back to his hotel. This episode is quite interesting, and Yang Guo gained full confidence from it. It turns out that my efforts have been influenced and changed abroad
Although Bert is a Chinese, from his feedback, Yang Guo can feel that this word splitting Chinese learning theory is indeed acceptable to foreign people. Maybe it doesn't need to wait too long, not only Chinese, but also other people will join the ranks of Chinese learning, and more and more people will learn to speak Chinese
On March 16, the Ted conference finally opened ceremoniously
Yang Guo's speech is scheduled for the next day, so on the first day, Yang Guo will go to the venue to listen to the speeches of other speakers. You know, this opportunity to listen to the speech on site is very rare. If it weren't for his being a speaker, it would cost 7500 yuan to listen to it on site.
The theme of this year's Ted conference is "truth&dare", and the Chinese translation is "truth, adventure", or it is more appropriate to translate it into "truth and courage".
The main purpose of this conference itself is to explore those universally recognized "truths" and present deeper analysis and richer understanding, so as to excavate innovative new ideas. Bravery is the power to push forward innovation by putting aside old traditions. People need to make "brave" changes in order to truly create the future
There are many novel and interesting ideas shared by speakers at the conference. Speakers here are not necessarily real speakers, but elites from all walks of life who are willing to share their ideas.
For example, Davis, who is Dr. T, is also a developer of caperture application. The novel idea he brought is the audio tool called aperture developed and designed by him and his partners.
Different from what people understand, it is a real "visual microphone". Through algorithm, it captures the resonance of objects resonating with sound in the video without sound at all, and then converts it into understandable audio tracks.
Another example is Daniel, who developed an experience perception tool box that can be used by both blind and visible people through instructional echolocation. This may have something to do with his blindness at the age of one. He can identify his direction by tapping his tongue and then by echo.
Therefore, they believe that the image generated by echolocation is similar to that seen by vision, and maybe the blind can really "see" the world through echo.
There are also novel inventions such as 3D printing and thought discoveries worth pondering.
But because of curiosity, Yang Guo went to a woman's lecture. Her name is Lewinsky. Yes, it's Lewinsky, the White House intern who had an accident with Clinton
Lewinsky's speech is very good. Her words are more implicit, but the content of her speech is not implicit at all. The burden thrown out from time to time can make the audience laugh.
For example, she said that she came back a few months ago and made her first public speech, and then a 27 year old boy accosted her. You know, Lewinsky is 41 years old
Of course, this frivolous topic is not a laughing point, mainly because Lewinsky talked about the main reason why she refused the other party, because the other party's chat-up failed, saying that he could let her experience the age of 22 again. When Lewinsky was 22, he just faced the biggest crisis in his life. Baidu knew it.
Yang Guo didn't agree with some of Lewinsky's views, and even didn't agree with her turning around to wash the floor for herself. However, Lewinsky's courage is recognized by Yang Guo
After all, in China, it is impossible for a person who has made such a big scandal in the political arena to make a comeback
But Lewinsky is actually right. Everyone makes mistakes in his twenties, but you can stick to it and rewrite a different ending for your story.
