Why is India so much better than China in terms of appreciation and respect for human rights?

• Indeed, India is a perfect country. It has no racial /ˈreɪʃ(ə)l/ issues; people are not divided into different classes.
• In India, women do not suffer endless rape and gang rape; people genuinely believe in gender equality.
• In India, medical care is not a matter of "money talks," and going to the hospital will not empty your wallet.
• In India, the illiteracy rate is not high. Even if you come from an ordinary background, you will not become illiterate, and the state will cover your tuition up to high school.
• In India, there is no employment discrimination. If you have outstanding abilities, regardless of your background, you will have a better future.
• In India, even if you belong to a minority group, no one will attack, loot, or burn you.
• Oh! Wait a minute, it seems I'm using photos from China！Let me change them.

In China, from the moment you were born, there was a hand pushing you forward. You have no choice!

In China, you were born and there were 4 babies crying in the same delivery room as you! Despite the drop in birth rates, more than 10 million children were born in China this year. An average of 30,000 per day!

After you go to school, there are 20-60 students in a class. Your parents tell you over and over again starting at age 3. If you don't get more than 95 points in the test (out of 100 points), you can only be a beggar in the future. Of course, those dozens of other kids heard the same thing from their parents.

You graduate, and for any decent job, there are hundreds or thousands of people competing for you.

You want to be in love, and suddenly there's a bunch of handsomer, taller, more humorous, stronger, piano-playing, cooking, fucking bank employees and doctors! You have to compete with them!

Even more terrifying, her mom asks if you have a million dollar house, luxury car in the city! You might only have $1,000 a month's salary at the time.

You decide to work hard to increase your wealth! Soon you will find that there are a lot of people who arrive at the company earlier and get off work later than you. Of course, your ability is not necessarily stronger than them!

It may be that God, Sakyamuni, and Brahma think you are too pitiful and think you should not be single! Send you a beautiful woman to marry.

After marriage, you often hear her say that whose husband has been promoted again, whose family has bought a new house, whose children have gone to better schools...

Later, you are very happy to have your own children. You tell him viciously that if you don't get A's, you can only become a beggar in the future...

One day, you finally died, turned into a ghost, and found that the cemetery was crowded too!

Distinguished and honourable Chancellor /ˈtʃænslər/ 校长, distinguished Pro-Chancellor, Members and Chairman of the Council /ˈkaʊns(ə)/l 理事会, Acting President and Vice-Chancellor, ladies and gentlemen, friends, students and alumni /əˈlʌmnaɪ/ 尊敬且令人尊敬的校长先生、尊敬的副校长先生、各位成员、理事会主席、代理校长兼副校长先生、女士们、先生们、朋友们、同学们以及校友们：

Good afternoon, I'm extremely honoured and moved and touched by this great marvellous traditional ceremon, and thank you very much, Hong Kong University [the University of Hong Kong], for giving me this great trust and honour.

You know I've been trying to enter university for many times and I failed three times until I went to university. I never thought in my dreams to become a PhD of Honour. But I did work very hard, I just failed examinations again and again. And my story tells that those people that work very hard but failed again and again: don't give up. Someday, a great university like Hong Kong University is waiting for you.

And Professor Tang and Dr David Mong, I'm very honoured to be with you, and thank you very much for this opportunity to speak on behalf of you. /代表某人或某个团体行事。/

And I would also love to thank Professor Charles , for these great words for me and for our people. And I think, when I was listening there, I was not that good, and I think I got this honour, not because I'm qualified /ˈkwɑːlɪfaɪd 具有xx的资格/ - I will work hard to prove I will be qualified, one day.

And this PhD degree, I don't think it's just an acknowledgement of me, but it's a recognition /ˌrekəɡˈnɪʃ(ə)n/ 表彰 of entrepreneurship /ˌɑːntrəprəˈnɜːrʃɪp/ 企业家精神, of the spirit /ˈspɪrɪt/ 精神 ‘never give up'.

I think entrepreneurs are the scientists in the social science. Scientists and social scientists, we have a lot of similarities. We all take risks. We all want innovation./ɪnəˈveɪʃ(ə)n/ And scientists know how to do things properly, and business people know how to do things effectively and efficiently.

For most people, seeing is believing. People like us, we believe, and then we will see. When we start our business, we don't have money, we don't have resources, we don't have anything. The only thing we have is that we believe in the future, we have dreams. We make hundreds of thousands of mistakes. There is only one thing that we did not make the mistake - that is, never give up.

And business people talk about money. But I think a real businessperson, a real entrepreneur, not only knows how to make money, but how to spend money. And we do not live for money, we do not work for money. When you have one million, that is your money. When you have ten million, maybe, the problem comes. When you have a hundred million dollars, I think that is not your money. That's the trust the society gives to you. That they believe that you can spend the money better, you can use the money better. So a real businessperson is not making money by making use of the mistakes, makes use of the problems, social problems. A real businessperson makes the money by solving the social problems for the others.

There are so many great cities in the world, but Hong Kong is one of the best cities that I've ever seen. And this is the city I've been here more than (just the second after Hangzhou) my hometown. And of all the great advantages 优势 Hong Kong has, there are three attractions 吸引力 that really attracted me. The inclusiveness, the innovation, and young people.

I love Hong Kong because of Hong Kong's inclusiveness, because the open spirit, it's the open trade, open culture, open policy that has made Hong Kong today. There is no such city, like Hong Kong, in the world. Such a small place, with so many different languages, different colours , there are so many different things, and there are so many similarities.ˌsɪməˈlærətɪz

Today, young people say, people say, Hong Kong has a lot of problems. Any city has its problems. People say Hong Kong young people have problems. Any young people has problems. The way is how to solve the problems, how to face the problems, how to challenge these problems.

And I have confidence in Hong Kong, Hong Kong will solve these problems. I love Hong Kong young people. When I was young, we saw a lot of Hong Kong movies, and dreamed that one day, I will be in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is so great, I never thought that I could visit Hong Kong, it was just a dream when I was a child. And I never thought about that one day I could study in Hong Kong. Today when I see on the campus ˈkæmpəs 校园 there are so many young people here studying, I envy 羡慕 them, I respect them, and I hope they will be great. And I wish today was not a doctorate ˈdɑːktərət 博士 of honour, it's like the day I got the letter of acceptance əkˈseptəns of my university, that I could start my new career.

So because of the inclusiveness, that make we have so many great young people in Hong Kong. Hong Kong embraced ɪmˈbreɪst 拥抱 innovation, Hong Kong has the best conditioning environment for innovation. Today, people in Hong Kong talking about, a lot about, Hong Kong will be the scientific, the new scientific hub of this Asia, of this area. Because we have the Mainland China, such a huge market. Hong Kong has great people and money. And Hong Kong, I think, does not only belong to Hong Kong, Hong Kong does not only belong to China, it belongs to the world, it belongs to this century.

So I think Hong Kong might, my talking to a lot of young people, that Hong Kong people should not only look at Hong Kong. Hong Kong young people's eyes should look around the world, we should look at the other people's problems, not only our problems, we should solve the other people's problems too.

There are a lot of experts ˈekspɜːrts 专家 today, but there is no expert for the future. All the experts are yesterday's experts. Only by working hard, we can be the experts, someday. So I think Hong Kong's innovations should solve the problem for the future.

Hong Kong will succeed, but the world is changing rapidly ˈræpɪdli 快速的. Hong Kong used to be the hub for trade, but today the trade world, because of technology, is changing a lot. The future of trade is not about the B2C, is about the C2B. The future of trade is not about the containers, about the packages. The future world trade is not about made in China, made in America, made in the internet. So we have to change. Only by changing, Hong Kong could be the new hub of trade of the world. Hong Kong is also a great centre for financing, but today we are talking about fintech and techfin, Hong Kong should be the pioneer ˌpaɪəˈnɪr 开荒的人, a leader of fintech and techfin.

So, in the past half year, in the past six months, I met the Chancellor almost five times. Every time, we discussed young people, we talked about science, we talked about innovation, we talked about the future of Hong Kong. I think the next thirty years, the world is going to change a lot. The new technology is going to change every aspect of the world. If we do not want to make this technology revolution to become a social revolution, we have to change from now.

Among all the challenges, I think the most challenging thing is about education. Even if today, the best university of the world, will face the same challenges, because everything we teach our kids are the things that the past two hundred years, the things we taught them, the machine will do better. So we have to think about what are the best ways, what are the contents to teach our kids in the future. We have to teach the kids the way the machines will never be able to win, this is my belief, because machines only have the chips tʃɪps 芯片, humans have the heart.

So I think we have to change from now on, the education system. In the future, it's not about the competition of knowledge, it's the competition of creativity, it's the competition of imagination, it's a competition of learning, it's a competition of independent thinking. If you think like a machine, the problem will come. In the past twenty years, we make people like the machine, in the next twenty years, machine will look like people. So in the future, it's not knowledge driven, it's the wisdom ˈwɪzdəm 智慧 driven, it's the experience driven. So in the past, it's the manufacturing driven, and in the future it's the creativity driven.

So this is what we think the world should be focusing on. Not only the IQ, EQ, but also focus on LQ, the Q of love. Because only when you care the others, only you care the others that succeed, are more successful than you are, you have the chance. So in my heart, Hong Kong is the city that in all China is the closest to the world, and I believe tomorrow Hong Kong will be the city the closest ˈkloʊsɪst to the future. And I believe Hong Kong, I believe the young people in Hong Kong, I believe the future of Hong Kong, and I believe Hong Kong University.

Thank you so much, and it's my honour to be part of the Hong Kong University.

Thank you.

never give up

”Years from now, some of them may look back and ask whether they made right choices, whether they’ve made the most opportunities they’ve been given. Together we have the same mission. Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair, you will find things that happened to you are not always warranted.

You have to put your heads down and fight, fight, fight, Never ever ever give up. Don’t give in , don’t back down and never stop doing that you know is right.

Nothing worth doing never ever ever came easy. The more righteous /ˈraɪtʃəs/ you are fighting , the more opposition you will face.

You have to go into the world and turn your hopes and the dreams into actions.

America is always the land of dreams, because America is the nation of the true believers. When the pilgrims /ˈpɪlgrɪmz/ landed at Plymouth /ˈplɪməθ/ they pray.When the founders wrote the declaration /ˌdekləˈreɪʃn/ of independence they invoked our creator four times. Because in America we don’t worship the government, we worship God!

It is why our currency proudly declares ” In God we trust” and why we proudly proclaim that we are on nation under God. The story of America, the story of adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams and humble beginnings.

The next generation of leaders never ever give up. There will be times in your life you want to quit, never quit fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you. Carry yourself with dignity /ˈdɪɡnəti/ and pride. Demand /dɪˈmænd/ the best from yourself.

The more people tell you is not possible that can’t be done, the more you should absolutely determined /dɪˈtɜːrmɪnd/ to prove /pruːv/ them wrong. Treat the world ”impossible” as nothing more than motivation.

Relish the opportunity to be outsider, the more that a broken system tells you that you are wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead, you must keep pushing forward.

Always have the courage to beat yourself. America is better when people put their faith in their actions.

Pray to God and follow his teachings! Today each of you begins a new chapter as well. When your story goes from here, if will be defined by your vision, your perseverance /ˌpɜːrsəˈvɪrəns/毅力 and your grit.

We will build a future will we have courage to chase our dreams, no matter what cynics /ˈsɪnɪks/ 愤世嫉俗者 and doubters /ˈdaʊtərz/ have to say.

You will have confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and express the love that stirs /stɜːz/ your soul as long as you have pride in your beliefs.

Courage your convictions /kənˈvɪkʃn/ and faith in God, then you will not fail. As long as America remain true to its values. Loyal /ˈlɔɪəl/ to its citizens and devote to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.
