Chapter 1197: Sublimation

Nearly 1,000 people in Vancouver's famous Phil Golden Hall, where the TED conference was held, sat quietly in their seats, looking intently at the personable speaker on the stage.

TED conferences have never been about appearance associations and national associations, and the speaker's appearance, country, and fluency in spoken language have little impact on the popularity of the speech, because people only care about whether the ideas you state in the speech are wonderful!

But it is undeniable that being handsome can make people pleasing to the eye, and speaking fluently can make people feel comfortable listening, and Yang Guo has indeed achieved these two things. To a certain extent, this added a lot of color to his speech.

However, it was possible for everyone to listen to Yang Guo's speech attentively because of the wonderful content of Yang Guo's speech! The mode of remote teaching seems to have opened a door in front of them, a door that changes the world and shocks the soul.

"I want to make distance education better! The key to this important lies in our little computer! Yang Guo was in high spirits and changed to a ppt.

"For distance education, we have developed an online learning system."

"Through this system, students can do their homework, and the system will give them questions, give them marks, guide them to fill in the gaps, and also collect questions that they can't do, or don't do well enough, and after a while, the children can find them again in their homework. Teachers can also learn from the data fed back by the system to understand the knowledge points that students have not learned well enough. โ€

"Of course, homework is just a small function of the system." Yang Guo said confidently.

"We don't have a lot of class study and homework for our students!" Yang Guo said, "The biggest significance of this system is that it can help students discover and learn independently. โ€

"Thanks to the help of the outstanding college student volunteers, we have recorded and updated more than 300 kinds and more than 1,000 interest courses in the system."

"This includes sports, art, philosophy, literature and even computer programming, and as long as the children are willing, they can find their favorite interest courses through our system to learn on their own!"

"It's not just the video mode, you can see that our engineers have designed a variety of interesting self-learning modes for this system!" Yang Guo directly played a video of about 20 seconds.

After the video ended, people couldn't help but applaud Yang Guo.

"Thank you!" Yang Guo said with a smile.

But Yang Guo has to go on to say, this time he uses more intuitive figures and charts to illustrate: "I am honored that the distance education model I initiated has been supported by the Chinese government, and it is precisely because of its promotion that as of March, we have received distance education for 47 million children in poor mountainous areas!" โ€

"This number has reached 80 percent of poor children in China, and we believe that this number will continue to increase in the future!"

Yang Guo's statement received some applause, but not much, after all, this is an internal problem in China, even if it is shocking, but everyone still feels that something is not their business.

Yang Guo had expected it! His speech finally came to the last part.

The first part is "owning", the second part is "better", and in the last part, Yang Guo must sublimate the whole speech, which is also the time for the foreshadowing to come into play!

"In October 2014, I gave a speech at Jingcheng University, hoping to inspire more young people to devote themselves to public welfare." Yang Guo changed a photo, in the photo, the background is a centennial auditorium, but the protagonists are Yang Guo and a black-skinned youth.

"His name is Mukalu, an international student from Tanzania, and after his presentation, he approached me and asked me if I could bring this model of distance education to the African continent so that the out-of-school children in his other home country, Congo, could also get an education and a better education!"

The audience's interest was once again aroused by Yang Guo, they held their breath, and the entire hall was silent, not even a single keyboard tap.

"My first reaction was, how is that possible?" Yang Guo spread his hands and made a surprised expression, "It's not that I don't want to, but everyone knows that it's Africa, that's Congo, the poorest and most troubled country in the world." โ€

The PPT shows a screenshot of a media report in the United States, with a group of anti-government/government/military troops wielding AK rifles on a dirty pickup truck.

"They want distance education, but do they have computers, do they have internet?" Yang Guo continued to raise questions, "Even if we can support them, can these children protect these computers from being snatched by the bad guys?" โ€

Yang Guo's questions hit the hearts of every listener like a hammer.

"Later, we redesigned distance education based on the actual situation in Tanzania and Congo through thinking."

"Not far from the village area, we are building a simple, mobile camp with not only distance education rooms equipped with computers, but also other NGOs and charitable organizations, such as the Red Cross and other medical aid teams, such as the United Nations World Food Programme."

"We will ask the local government forces and UN peacekeepers to help protect the security of the camp, so that our camp can be a more comprehensive community." Yang Guo put a few photos taken by Mukalu.

"Food aid, which is to help local people who don't even have food to survive, medical aid, which is also to help them get rid of the threat of illness and death. And educational assistance is just as important! โ€

Yang Guo looked around and said solemnly: "We can't change their poverty, but we can help them gain the ability to seek change!" โ€

"There is an ancient adage in Chinese medicine, if the symptoms are not cured, it is meaningless, because the disease will recur." The complex ancient language was translated into sentences that foreigners could understand.

"Changing the current situation of poverty and backwardness on the African continent and the lack of livelihood of the people is only a symptom of the problem. We need to spread civilization, so that they will no longer be ignorant, and let them have the ability to change their own lives and the lives of the people around them, so as to stop the intergenerational transmission of poverty from the root and source. โ€

"This is also the meaning of our distance education!" Yang Guo bowed deeply, and at this point, his speech came to an end.

And this full stop is perfect!

Because nearly 1,000 listeners stood up and applauded Yang Guo heartily, the applause was like thunder, and it was like a storm that lasted for a long time!
