Welcome everyone. Thank you all for coming and special thanks to Mr. Wang Yuan. Welcome to UN.
As we all know, this is your second time coming to UN ECOSOC Youth Forum,
so what has impressed you most this time?
This is my second time attending this forum and coming to New York, I feel very honored and happy.
In this forum, I can hear from excellent youth representatives from all over the world of different ethnics.
From these great leaders and youth representatives, I am able to know their country's issues and solutions.
I'm happy hearing various kinds of perspectives and suggestions. I can benefit a lot.
We all know you are attending as the Special Advocate for Education of UNICEF,
how do you perceive this identity?
I feel that this identity is a great honor but also a responsibility.
Thanks to it, I need to improve myself and spread positive energy to the public
so as to convey the issues and ideas I'm advocating to everyone.
In this way, everyone can participate to help more needy people
Okay. In the past year, we know that you have visited some schools at remote areas, and have participated in many activities for charity.
I have seen lots of photos on the Internet, which are very impressive and touching.
Could you please discuss your feelings after visiting these schools?
I have visited two schools at Sanjiang. My first feeling is that students are very vigorous and energetic.
We have worked manual labor, attended lectures and played together. I can feel the joy they received from Quality Education.
I think this is important and has also impressed me. I have therefore determined my goal of paying more attention to Quality Education
and helping more people to improve their educational environment.
Yes, I think so. While they may only have limited and deficient resources,
but they are still positive and optimistic and pursue for better opportunities, right?
Thanks for sharing. Then what kind of effects education can bring to build up sustainable development
and build up urban and rural communities resistance to disasters?
First of all, I believe education is very important,
as the basis of knowledge and innovation is receiving education.
Quality Education could initiate and develop your thought and spirit,
improve and expand your horizons and knowledge,
which can lead to much better innovation and development.
When the natural disasters and human disasters strike,
education or schools can make the students feel secure.
In those circumstances, studying knowledge is a way of
feeling secure and have the sense of belonging.
It is a sense of security and belonging, right?
Right.
We all know that you established your own Yuan Foundation in Oct. 2017
after the first time you attended ECOSOC Youth Forum.
Was the idea of establishing a foundation inspired by the forum?
Could you tell us more about Yuan Foundation?
Of course, it was inspired by the participation in the last Forum,
it has also being on my mind for a while.
Because I really want to help people in need,
whether from educational aspect or from other aspects.
I heard many different voices in the forum,
and after it, I attended events held by my showbiz seniors.
Then I had this goal, put it into practice, and finally found Yuan Foundation.
This has been developed from your identity,
which is very close to the subject.
As a senior high school student, you are still a senior high school student, aren’t you,
as well as a young star with great influence
How would you encourage more young people to pay more attention on
the subject of improving Quality Education through your influence?
A senior high school student and a young star are two completely different identities.
I have experienced different lifestyles with these two identities.
When I am a student, I can feel the benefit of being encouraged and inspired by Quality Education.
When I am an artiste, I can use my influence
to let more people know and understand Quality Education.
Thank you very much.
As we all known, you are now shouldering the responsibility of UNICEF Special Advocate for Education,
will you continue to promote our Quality Education issue
in order to guarantee more children equal access to Quality Education?
Of course. I have got a lot of care from society,
and now I have the opportunity and strength to help people who are in need,
I will keep doing it and wish I can do better so as to help more people.
This is my wish as well.
Thanks a lot. Thank you for having us interview you.
And wish you all the best with your career and study.
Most importantly, stay healthy.
This is the wish all of your overseas fans want us to convey to you.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.
