I really like to participate in the construction of the community. For me, the community is a diverse combination, in which you can contact different types of people, cultures, and all to create a more inclusive, open and prosperous community. In this process, you will learn and recognize a lot of fresh things, and therefore have different effects. The problem can be viewed in a more comprehensive way, and the barrier of curing is broken.

I started to get familiar with TED when I was a college student. At that time, our English teacher recommended us to learn English via watching videos on TED website. And it was TED that opened a door for me to the diversified world and helped me realize that life can be so enthusiastic and energetic. I had participated in 3 TEDx activities and been designated as the co-organizer in TEDxBeilin. During my participation in the TEDx community construction, I got acquainted with many interesting friends. They have brought me not only the fresh ideas, but also the exploration spirit of the masses for new things in the process of online and offline communication with people, so that we were able to see the shining points and unique spirit of each individual. At the beginning of 2019, I learned about and applied for a special discount for TEDxer through TEDxHub and was lucky to have the chance to attend TEDSummit held in Edinburgh. People from 84 countries, with different languages, perceptions and standpoints, gathered there for a week, which gave a great experience beyond description. At the summit, I met Kat Haber, an enthusiastic girl from TEDxVail. She shared her story with TEDx and invited me to sign the name of our own TEDx organization in our language on the exclusive clothes she brought. Then at the party held in Edinburgh university, I met Jay Klaphake, a TEDx Ambassador from Japan who told us a lot of experience about activity planning. And the most exhilarating moment was to meet Chris Anderson, who kindly asked us where we came from, how long we had been involved in TEDx and what difficulties we encountered in the activity. He also signed and left a message on our notebook, thanking us for our years of dedication to TEDx. Although the highly frequent activities might make us feel tired physically, we were energetic mentally. The gap between the outstanding masters and us is caused by the knowledge accumulation and even the way of observing the world rather than the distance or horizons. We are always on the way towards excellence.
