The TED story
It all began in the summer of 2006 when I started using Ubuntu, and I got to learn TED from some other Ubuntu users, and was ever hooked on to this amazing website. I like the TED philosophy of sharing with the world one's ideas for building a better future. Here, TEDsters help me realize that there's always hope for a better future, and that we are not far from that goal, if we can implement concerted efforts now.
I wish to write a book documenting this wonderful conference, passionate TEDsters and the people behind it. I think this kind of conference can pave way for inspiring local innovations in China, where I come from, and where rich opportunities for changing is bountiful.
In June 14, 2009, together with my friends in Guangzhou, we hosted the first-ever TEDx event in mainland China. The name of the event is TEDx SYSU. It was a big success. We are considering rolling out further mini TED-style events in Guangzhou, do join us if you feel inclined.
