Cherry Yin
Hello, everyone. My name is 殷冰辰 and Ⅰ am thirteen years old. I am really passionate about public speaking and exploring new cultures, so I am extremely excited to participate in TEDx Yingfu. Through my speech, I really hope to share my own opinions and ideas with others. The topic of my speech is “The invisible lens of culture”. I enjoy communicating with friends from different cultures, and through this, I have had many interesting experiences, which I hope will bring some insights into how we view each other.
Eason Zheng
Hi everyone! My name is Eason and I'm 15 years old. It's a great honor to join TEDx Yingfu, and my speech topic is: "Growth from the Ground Up". Have you ever wondered what truly sustains lasting growth? It doesn't start with a leap into the sky—but with the strength we gather from the ground we stand on. My talk invites you to discover how things we inherit can help us build a future that is both grounded and boundless.
Emily Shi
Hi everyone, I am Emily, a 10-year-old girl from Shanghai, and my speech is about inheriting the beauty from our past. Nowadays, we talk a lot about passing on legacies, but what indeed are we trying to carry forward? My journey to the Anyue Grottoes told me that it is not the craft we hold in our hands, but the heartbeats we carry in ours—the creativity and timeless pursuit of beauty from ancient artists. Sharing my voice on the TEDx Yingfu stage in my hometown means a lot to me, and I hope you can join me to promote and preserve the traditional cultural legacies of China.
Gabbilla Lin
Hello everyone! I’m Gabbilla. I like reading, singing and drawing in my free time. I love Chinese traditional culture a lot—especially an awesome art called Cha Bai Xi! I’m so happy to take part in the TEDx Yingfu event! I want to share my story with Cha Bai Xi, and hope you all will love this cool art form as much as I do!
Grace Jin
Hello everyone, my name is Grace, and I'm 13 years old. I've always been fascinated by creativity and science, and I believe we can use innovation to make our world a better and more beautiful place. It's a real honor to be here at TEDx Yingfu, and my speech topic is: Geography and Technology: Reshaping Global Agriculture. Through my topic, I will explore how technology is transforming the way we grow food—and even redefining what land can be used for in the future.
Jack Chen
Hello everyone, my name is Jack, and I'm 12 years old. I love playing football, badminton and Weiqi. I especially love watching movies. I am overwhelmed with excitement to join TEDx Yingfu this December and my speech topic is: “How Chinese Films Preserve the Soul of a Changing Nation". Have you ever thought that the stories on the screen are more than just stories? They are a mirror of our time, capturing the very soul of who we are as people.
Jeremiah Sekyi
Hi Everyone, I'm Jeremiah. I am thrilled to be a speaker for TEDx Yingfu 2025. My talk is entitled 'The Transformative Power of Four-dimensional Culture', and I'll be diving into how a deeper, broader appreciation of diverse cultures could be the solution to some of our most daunting challenges in the 21st century.
Keren Chen
Hello, my name is Keren and I am a speaker at TEDx Yingfu 2025. My speech is called ‘The second first chance’ it will be centered around Asian parental expectations and the pressure for every kid to be seen as “perfect.” It aims to address parents and kids; to show them how each person is individual and should follow their own dreams.
Kirby Song
Hello everyone, my name is Kirby, and I’m 17 years old. I love sports and music, and I’m very excited about participating in TEDx Yingfu. My TEDx topic is “The sound that Time Forgot,” a journey about how dialects are more than just ways of speaking — they are time machines that carry our history, identity, and the voices of those who came before us. In my talk, I’ll share how one familiar sound from home helped me understand where my roots are, and how they shape the wings I’m growing today.
