You know, everyone is afraid of losing, right?
Everyone does not want to lose; rather, they all want to win.
When he lost every match or even came in the second last or last place, what was it or what kind of strength supported him to compete and train all the time?
Later it occurred to me that he must like this sport.
He loves this sport.
So he enjoys it even if he loses.
It is the kind of person who makes me feel I can do everything.
With that, what is the limit of human beings?
Many of our functions have deteriorated, but in fact, human beings are the animals that can adapt to the environment best.
Why?
Although I have one leg, I have never thought I would have any problem surviving in this society since I just have my leg amputated.
I think that I can survive no matter what.
My job may not be particularly good, but I think I can find a job, which is my reason of confidence.
Many people say that I am not able to do it.
In fact, it's not that you can't do it.
Not really.
It's just that you haven't come to the moment.
To survive in this environment, one can always find various ways to adapt oneself to it.
Then when you have one leg, you must survive as always, so I learned to jump when I just started to be one-leg.
Later, when I got my crutch for the first time, I said to myself in the mind: "Wow! This pair of crutches feels just like the crutches I should have been born with. How can I walk so freely?"
Until now, many people still ask me, "Jin Jing, why don't you put on artificial limbs?"
"How beautiful your legs look with artificial limbs," They would say.
Why don't I use artificial limbs?
First, I can't wear high-heeled shoes when wearing artificial limbs.
I still like wearing them.
Girls look very tall and straight when wearing high-heels.
Second, wearing artificial limbs is really not as convenient as people think.
I am a practical type.
I wouldn't force myself into a beautiful look, which turns out to affect my normal life.
So why do I need a prosthetic leg?
Just to be good-looking?
In the eyes of other people?
I would say I am also pretty good-looking this way, what do you say?
So sometimes I think it is very, very important for me to affirm myself and be confident in myself.
By the terms used by athletes, the process of torch relay is like a process from individual competition to team competition.
Because when I came down from the coach for torch carriers, I found that many people around me were hostile, unfriendly protesters who even tried to grab the torch from me.
At that time, I thought, oh, why would they be like this?
Why would such a thing happen?
Out of an athlete's instinct, I would feel so angry, because it happened to be the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Olympics in our own country.
Later, it wan't until later when our Chinese overseas students come to join this team that I found: Wow, actually I am not alone.
It turns out I have such a huge force behind me.
If you are really sure about yourself, about all the decisions you have made, or the things you have done, then on what ground will you refuse to believe in our people, in us, and in our country's future destined to be better?
We really, really hope that besides giving a little confidence, a little recognition to ourselves and all our close friends, our country, our motherland can also give more people a little recognition and a little confidence.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Three apples have changed the world.
The first one helped Adam discover that he is pant-less.
The second apple brought Newton to Universal Gravitation.
The third Apple let us know that everyone deserves a smartphone.
And my apple, in this sense, is this picture, which was taken around 70 years ago.
The two people in the picture split away after they took the picture.
What's interesting about this picture is that both wore the same type of suit named as Zhongshan Suit.
The Zhongshan suit was introduced by Sun Yat-sen.
It actually contains much information.
For instance, it has five buttons that represent separation of five powers.
What about the four pockets?
They stand for the four foundations of a nation.
Courtesy, righteousness, honesty and sense of shame.
There are three buttons on the right sleeve, representing the tenet - "of the people, by the people and for the people".
And three on the left, standing for equality, freedom and fraternity of mankind.
Well, from the perspective of computers, they have basically the same interface, is that right?
But we all know deep down inside, their kernels are different.
Or to put it this way: one group of people followed the Three Principles of People and Christianity and another pursued the Marxism-Leninism.
They are just like two “operating systems” battling against each other.
In the end, the one on the left went somewhere else.
And that place is called Taiwan, which has witnessed rapid development over the years.
Over the course of last 70 years, Chinese Mainland and Taiwan have experienced drastic changes that are quite different from each other.
We all can feel that.
We can compare from various aspects such as economy, culture and many others.
But why would there be such huge differences?
For instance, in the mobile internet industry, we have the iOS operating system and Android system, an ecosystem created by Google.
Microsoft is doing the similar thing, aspiring to remake itself as one of the mobile internet giants.
You see, all competition is after all the competition of operating systems.
So when we see the world via this operating system, the society, shouldn't we also be thinking through a social operating system?
Or in the case of the mobile internet, do you understand what's competing here?
It is actually a competition between different operating systems.
That's the reason why Google, founder of Android, took a strong stance lately, quite surprisingly, forbidding Acer to release phones that have installed Alibaba's operating system.
So now you have a sense of the importance of differences in operating systems.
But what is it like in the light of society?
In fact, civilization is what's defined as operating system in the social context.
Here in the chart, there are four levels and seven modules that can match one another.
For example, our heart is like hardware with a CPU.
So how do we drive our body, so to speak?
Of course sex drives our body.
Anything else that you see?
There is a kernel, which is the way we see the world, that drives our body.
Right?
Over it, there are our values and prospects of life.
So accordingly, there are many other virtual machines or parts built above the operating system, something we normally refer to as basic service.
Another important thing is language which I've marked in another color.
This language is what we use to communicate, just like the one we use to communicate with people.
Above that we can create our own applications, right?
We have different applications inside the iOS or Android system, regarding many aspects of our life, such as clothes, food, housing, travel, medicines and elderly care, and even corporates, laws and institutions.
Everything can find its counterpart in the past.
We live in this operating system, just like our phones.
So do we have room for multiple operating systems in a large system?
Does it work that way?
So how do we do it?
We might try to build our own operating system using this way.
Four levels, seven modules.
