"Does speaking of death really summon misfortune?" The question haunted her.Then she witnessed a 17-year-old anime fan’s farewell party. In that moment, clarity struck: Confronting mortality isn’t cursing life—it’s honoring it. How many Chinese families, she wondered, are crumbling under this conspiracy of silence? Death was never life’s opposite—it’s the bold punctuation that gives meaning to our story. 校园时装秀主席 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Cinema is more than entertainment—it shapes our worldview and influences how we perceive others.Are depictions of mental health in film trapped in tired tropes that fuel stereotypes? Movies are not just storytelling; they can mislead or enlighten, stigmatize or heal. Every frame holds the power to distort—or dissolve—the fog of misunderstanding. “荟”艺术馆策展人 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
