The Conflict of Our Era | Zheming Rong | TEDxGHCIS Youth

With Mark, we are going to explore the concept of “time”. We’d like to invite you to think about these questions as you embark this journey with him:
Have you ever felt being dragged to the past, or propelled by the future?
Have you ever travelled to other places, and felt another pace of life unfamiliarly fast or slow?
Have you ever felt the time you are experiencing is not the same as the others around you? Hello! I’m Rong Zheming, or you can call me Mark. My passion lies in humanities—especially history, politics, and sociology—where I enjoy thinking about how our ideas and beliefs shape the world around us. Lately, I’ve been especially curious about what happens after grand narratives break down, and how our generation is living through a period where the world is being reshaped in real time. I’m excited to meet all of you and chat about the history that’s unfolding right in front of us. I hope this talk sparks some interesting thoughts, and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
