【正文】 ciated with those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend, who used to be a board member in a subdivision of red cross at chamber of merce. itamp。t realize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of red cross. the controversy was so heated that the red cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.
　　so far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title amp。 20 years old, beautiful. she showed offher expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which is the chinese version of twitter. and she claimed to be the general manager of red cross at the chamber of merce. she didnamp。s young generation up to? how are they different, and what are the differences they are going to make to shape the future of china, or at large,the world?
　　so today i want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. first of all, who are they? [what] do they look like?well this is a girl called guo meimei amp。m thinking, what are todayamp。s bidding for the olympic games. i was representing the shanghai expo. i saw china embracing the world and vice versa. but then sometimes iamp。 and i feel proud of that. but then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. i was in beijingamp。lan, you changed my life,amp。ve interviewed more than a thousand peoplein the past. and sometimes i have young people approaching me say, amp。 i thought i kind of offended them. but actually, they were impressed by my words. and so i was in the second round of petition,and then the third and the fourth. after seven rounds of petition, i was the last one to survive it. so i was on a national television primetime show. and believe it or not, that was the first show on chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script.(applause) and my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.

　　around the same time, i was going through an audition amp。 i didnamp。yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?amp。 i summoned my courage and poise and said, amp。so, miss yang, do you have any questions to ask me?amp。s still there. so after being interrogated by this japanese manager for a half an hour,he finally said, amp。 itamp。 so [as] susanboyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. that was hilarious.
　　so i guess both susan boyle and this vegetable vendor in shanghai belonged to otherness. they were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought themthrough. and a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their , being different is not that difficult. we are all different from different perspectives. but i think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. you may have the chance to make a difference.
