Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China

Translator: Lenka Tušar Reviewer: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

The night before I was heading for Scotland,

Večer, preden sem se odpravila na Škotsko,

I was invited to host the final

sem gostila finale šova

of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai

"Kitajska ima talent" v Šanghaju

with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium.

pred 80.000 gledalci na stadionu.

Guess who was the performing guest?

Uganete, kdo je bil gost na dogodku?

Susan Boyle.

Susan Boyle.

And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day."

Povedala sem ji, da se naslednji dan odpravljam na Škotsko.

She sang beautifully,

Čudovito je pela

and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese:

in celo povedala nekaj besed v kitajščini, in sicer

送你葱

sòng nǐ cōng (送你葱).

So it's not like "hello" or "thank you,"

To ne pomeni "zdravo" ali "hvala",

that ordinary stuff.

kar se ponavadi najprej naučimo, pač pa

It means "green onion for free."

"mlada čebula zastonj".

Why did she say that?

Zakaj je to rekla?

Because it was a line

To je nekoč zapela

from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle --

naša kitajska Susan Boyle --

a 50-some year-old woman,

gospa petdesetih let,

a vegetable vendor in Shanghai,

prodajalka zelenjave v Šanghaju,

who loves singing Western opera,

ki rada prepeva arije zahodnih oper,

but she didn't understand

a ker ne razume

any English or French or Italian,

angleško, francosko ali italijansko,

so she managed to fill in the lyrics

je besede nadomestila

with vegetable names in Chinese.

z imeni zelenjave v kitajščini.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma

In tako je zadnji verz arije Nessun Dorma,

that she was singing in the stadium

ki jo je pela na stadionu,

was "green onion for free."

postal "mlada čebula zastonj".

So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that,

Ko je Susan Boyle to ponovila,

80,000 live audience sang together.

je 80.000 gledalcev skupaj zapelo.

That was hilarious.

Res je bilo zabavno.

So I guess both Susan Boyle

Zame torej tako Susan Boyle

and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai

kot šanghajska prodajalka zelenjave

belonged to otherness.

predstavljata drugost.

They were the least expected to be successful

Nihče jima nikdar ne bi pripisal uspeha

in the business called entertainment,

v zabavni industriji,

yet their courage and talent brought them through.

pa vendar sta se s pogumom in talentom prebili vanjo.

And a show and a platform

Oddaja in oder sta jima

gave them the stage

omogočila,

to realize their dreams.

da uresničita svoje sanje.

Well, being different is not that difficult.

Biti drugačen niti ni tako težko.

We are all different

Vsi smo drugačni

from different perspectives.

iz različnih vidikov.

But I think being different is good,

A biti drugačen je zame nekaj dobrega,

because you present a different point of view.

saj predstavlja drugačen vidik na stvari.

You may have the chance to make a difference.

Tako obstaja možnost, da spremenimo stvari.

My generation has been very fortunate

Moja generacija je imela srečo,

to witness and participate

da je bila priča in dejavnik

in the historic transformation of China

v zgodovinski preobrazbi Kitajske,

that has made so many changes

saj jo je zaznamovalo ogromno sprememb

in the past 20, 30 years.

v zadnjih dvajsetih, tridesetih letih.

I remember that in the year of 1990,

Spominjam se leta 1990,

when I was graduating from college,

ko sem se po univerzitetni diplomi

I was applying for a job in the sales department

potegovala za delovno mesto v prodajnem oddelku

of the first five-star hotel in Beijing,

prvega hotela s petimi zvezdicami v Pekingu,

Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there.

Sheratonovem hotelu Great Wall, ki še vedno stoji.

So after being interrogated

Po pol ure razgovora

by this Japanese manager for a half an hour,

z japonskim poslovodjo

he finally said,

mi je rekel,

"So, Miss Yang,

"Torej, gospodična Yang,

do you have any questions to ask me?"

me želite tudi vi kaj vprašati?"

I summoned my courage and poise and said,

Zbrala sem pogum in mirno rekla,

"Yes, but could you let me know,

"Da, bi mi lahko povedali,

what actually do you sell?"

kaj pravzaprav prodajate?"

I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about

Nisem imela pojma, s čim se ukvarja

in a five-star hotel.

prodajni oddelek hotela s petimi zvezdicami.

That was the first day I set my foot

Takrat sem namreč prvič stopila

in a five-star hotel.

v tak imeniten hotel.

Around the same time,

Približno v istem času

I was going through an audition --

sem sodelovala na avdiciji,

the first ever open audition

prvi javni avdiciji

by national television in China --

kitajske državne televizije,

with another thousand college girls.

skupaj s še tisoč študentkami.

The producer told us

Producer nam je povedal,

they were looking for some sweet, innocent

da iščejo prikupen, nedolžen

and beautiful fresh face.

in lep mlad obraz.

So when it was my turn, I stood up and said,

Ko sem prišla na vrsto, sem vstala in rekla,

"Why [do] women's personalities on television

"Zakaj morajo biti ženske na televiziji

always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent

vedno lepe, prikupne, nedolžne

and, you know, supportive?

in razumevajoče?

Why can't they have their own ideas

Zakaj ne bi mogle imeti svojih zamisli

and their own voice?"

in svojih stališč?"

I thought I kind of offended them.

Bala sem se, da sem jih užalila.

But actually, they were impressed by my words.

V resnici pa sem jih s tem navdušila.

And so I was in the second round of competition,

Tako sem se prebila v drugi krog,

and then the third and the fourth.

nato še v tretjega in četrtega.

After seven rounds of competition,

Po sedmih krogih izbiranja

I was the last one to survive it.

sem ostala edina, ki je prišla do konca.

So I was on a national television prime-time show.

Tako sem dobila oddajo v najbolj gledanem terminu državne televizije.

And believe it or not,

Verjeli ali ne,

that was the first show on Chinese television

to je bila prva oddaja kitajske televizije,

that allowed its hosts

ki je voditeljem dovolila

to speak out of their own minds

izražanje lastnih stališč

without reading an approved script.

brez vnaprej odobrenega besedila.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

And my weekly audience at that time

Takrat je moje tedensko občinstvo

was between 200 to 300 million people.

štelo med 200 in 300 milijoni ljudi.

Well after a few years,

Po nekaj letih sem se odločila

I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University

iti v ZDA na univerzo Columbia

to pursue my postgraduate studies,

in se posvetiti podiplomskemu študiju,

and then started my own media company,

nato pa sem ustanovila lastno medijsko podjetje,

which was unthought of

ki je bil v letih, ko sem začela

during the years that I started my career.

poklicno pot, še nepredstavljiv.

So we do a lot of things.

Tu počnemo veliko stvari.

I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past.

V oddaji sem gostila že več kot tisoč ljudi.

And sometimes I have young people approaching me

Včasih mi mladi ljudje povejo,

say, "Lan, you changed my life,"

"Lan, spremenili ste mi življenje,"

and I feel proud of that.

na kar sem zelo ponosna.

But then we are also so fortunate

Prav tako pa smo imeli srečo

to witness the transformation of the whole country.

biti priča spremembi celotne države.

I was in Beijing's bidding for the Olympic Games.

V Pekingu sem se potegovala za olimpijske igre.

I was representing the Shanghai Expo.

Predstavljala sem Šanghajski Expo.

I saw China embracing the world

Bila sem zraven, ko je Kitajska sprejemala svet

and vice versa.

in svet njo.

But then sometimes I'm thinking,

Včasih pa se vprašam,

what are today's young generation up to?

s čim se ukvarja današnja mladina?

How are they different,

Na kakšen način so drugačni

and what are the differences they are going to make

in kakšne spremembe bodo spodbudili

to shape the future of China,

za oblikovanje prihodnosti

or at large, the world?

Kitajske in sveta?

So today I want to talk about young people

Danes torej želim govoriti o mladih,

through the platform of social media.

aktivnih v družabnih medijih.

First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like?

Prvič, kdo so? Kako izgledajo?

Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei --

To je dekle po imenu Guo Meimei,

20 years old, beautiful.

čedna dvajsetletnica.

She showed off her expensive bags,

S svojimi dragimi torbicami,

clothes and car

oblekami in avtom se je bahala

on her microblog,

na Microblogu,

which is the Chinese version of Twitter.

kitajski različici Twitterja.

And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross

Predstavljala se je kot generalna direktorica

at the Chamber of Commerce.

Rdečega križa pri Trgovinski zbornici.

She didn't realize

Ni se zavedala,

that she stepped on a sensitive nerve

da je dregnila na občutljivo mesto

and aroused national questioning,

in po celi državi sprožila dvome,

almost a turmoil,

celo razburjenje

against the credibility of Red Cross.

glede verodostojnosti Rdečega križa.

The controversy was so heated

Spornost položaja je dosegla višek

that the Red Cross had to open a press conference

in Rdeči križ je moral sklicati tiskovno konferenco,

to clarify it,

da bi zadevo pojasnil,

and the investigation is going on.

podrobnejša preiskava pa že poteka.

So far, as of today,

Za zdaj vemo,

we know that she herself made up that title --

da se je dekle sámo ovenčalo s tem nazivom,

probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity.

najbrž, ker je ponosna na svojo povezanost z dobrodelnostjo.

All those expensive items

Vse te drage stvari

were given to her as gifts

je dobila kot darilo

by her boyfriend,

od njenega fanta,

who used to be a board member

bivšega člana odbora

in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce.

manjše enote Rdečega križa pri Trgovinski zbornici.

It's very complicated to explain.

Precej zapleteno.

But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it.

Kakorkoli, javnost še vedno ni zadovoljna,

It is still boiling.

v njej še vedno vre.

It shows us a general mistrust

Izraža splošno nezaupanje do

of government or government-backed institutions,

vladnih ustanov in ustanov z vladno podporo,

which lacked transparency in the past.

v katerih je primanjkovalo preglednosti.

And also it showed us

Prav tako pa prikazuje

the power and the impact of social media

moč in vpliv družabnih medijev,

as microblog.

kot je Microblog.

Microblog boomed in the year of 2010,

Microblog je bil na vrhuncu leta 2010,

with visitors doubled

ko se je število uporabnikov podvojilo,

and time spent on it tripled.

čas uporabe pa potrojil.

Sina.com, a major news portal,

Zgolj Sina.com, pomemben informativni portal,

alone has more than 140 million microbloggers.

ima preko 140 milijonov mikroblogerjev.

On Tencent, 200 million.

Na Tencentu jih je 200 milijonov.

The most popular blogger --

Najbolj priljubljena blogerka,

it's not me --

ne jaz,

it's a movie star,

pač pa znana filmska igralka,

and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans.

ima preko 9,5 milijonov oboževalcev oz. sledilcev njene strani.

About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people,

Okrog 80 odstotkov teh mikroblogerjev je mladih,

under 30 years old.

mlajših od trideset let.

And because, as you know,

In kot veste, so klasični mediji

the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,

še vedno strogo vladno nadzorovani,

social media offers an opening

zato družabni mediji ponujajo

to let the steam out a little bit.

ventil za vsaj posredno izražanje mnenj.

But because you don't have many other openings,

In ker drugih ventilov praktično ni,

the heat coming out of this opening

sta jeza in vrenje, ki prihajata iz tega,

is sometimes very strong, active

včasih zelo močna, dejavna

and even violent.

in celo nasilna.

So through microblogging,

Preko mikrobloganja

we are able to understand Chinese youth even better.

torej lažje razumemo kitajsko mladino.

So how are they different?

Kako se razlikujejo od nas?

First of all, most of them were born

Prvič, večina se jih je rodila

in the 80s and 90s,

v osemdesetih ali devetdesetih letih,

under the one-child policy.

v času politike enega otroka.

And because of selected abortion

Zaradi selektivnih splavov v družinah,

by families who favored boys to girls,

ki so privilegirale dečke,

now we have ended up

imamo sedaj 30 milijonov

with 30 million more young men than women.

več mladih moških kot žensk.

That could pose

To bi lahko predstavljalo

a potential danger to the society,

določeno nevarnost družbi,

but who knows;

a kdo ve,

we're in a globalized world,

živimo v globaliziranem svetu,

so they can look for girlfriends from other countries.

zato lahko kitajski fantje najdejo tudi tuja dekleta.

Most of them have fairly good education.

Večina mladih je precej dobro izobraženih.

The illiteracy rate in China among this generation

Stopnja nepismenosti med Kitajci in Kitajkami

is under one percent.

te generacije je nižja od enega odstotka.

In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.

V večjih mestih kar 80 odstotkov otrok obiskuje fakulteto.

But they are facing an aging China

Soočajo pa se s starajočo Kitajsko,

with a population above 65 years old

delež prebivalstva, starejšega od 65 let,

coming up with seven-point-some percent this year,

letos dosega dobrih sedem odstotkov,

and about to be 15 percent

kar pa se lahko poveča na 15 odstotkov

by the year of 2030.

do leta 2030.

And you know we have the tradition

Najbrž poznate naš običaj,

that younger generations support the elders financially,

da mlajša generacija finančno preživlja starejšo

and taking care of them when they're sick.

in zanjo skrbi v primeru bolezni.

So it means young couples

To torej pomeni, da bodo morali

will have to support four parents

mladi pari skrbeti za štiri starše

who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.

s pričakovano življenjsko dobo 73 let.

So making a living is not that easy

Preživljanje torej za mladino

for young people.

sploh ni preprosto.

College graduates are not in short supply.

Diplomantov ne primanjkuje.

In urban areas,

V mestnih območjih

college graduates find the starting salary

je začetna plača diplomirancev

is about 400 U.S. dollars a month,

okrog 400 ameriških dolarjev na mesec,

while the average rent

povprečna najemnina

is above $500.

pa presega 500 dolarjev.

So what do they do? They have to share space --

Kaj torej storijo? Življenjski prostor si delijo,

squeezed in very limited space

stisnjeni na zelo omejenem prostoru

to save money --

in tako privarčujejo --

and they call themselves "tribe of ants."

sami sebi pravijo "pleme mravelj".

And for those who are ready to get married

Tisti, ki se bodo kmalu poročili

and buy their apartment,

in kupili lastno stanovanje,

they figured out they have to work

bodo predvideno morali delati

for 30 to 40 years

trideset do štirideset let,

to afford their first apartment.

preden si bodo lahko privoščili prvo stanovanje.

That ratio in America

Za primerjavo, v ZDA

would only cost a couple five years to earn,

bi si ga lahko privoščili po nekaj petih letih,

but in China it's 30 to 40 years

na Kitajskem pa po skoraj štiridesetih letih

with the skyrocketing real estate price.

zaradi astronomskih cen nepremičnin.

Among the 200 million migrant workers,

Med 200 milijoni priseljenskih delavcev

60 percent of them are young people.

je 60 odstotkov mladih ljudi.

They find themselves sort of sandwiched

Ujeti so med mestna

between the urban areas and the rural areas.

in podeželska območja.

Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside,

Večina jih ne želi nazaj na deželo,

but they don't have the sense of belonging.

vseeno pa nimajo občutka pripadanja.

They work for longer hours

Delajo več časa

with less income, less social welfare.

za manj plačila in manj socialne varnosti.

And they're more vulnerable

Poleg tega so bolj ranljivi ob

to job losses,

odpuščanju,

subject to inflation,

inflaciji,

tightening loans from banks,

strožjih bančnih posojilih,

appreciation of the renminbi,

porastu kitajskega juana,

or decline of demand

in upadu evropskega

from Europe or America

ali ameriškega povpraševanja

for the products they produce.

po izdelkih, ki jih izdelujejo.

Last year, though,

Lani pa se je v južnokitajskih obratih

an appalling incident

za proizvodnjo originalnih sestavnih delov

in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China:

zgodil šokanten incident:

13 young workers

trinajst mladih delavcev,

in their late teens and early 20s

starih okrog dvajset let,

committed suicide,

je storilo samomor,

just one by one like causing a contagious disease.

eden za drugim, kot bi šlo za nalezljivo bolezen.

But they died because of all different personal reasons.

A razlogi njihovih smrti so bili osebne narave.

But this whole incident

Kljub temu je ta incident

aroused a huge outcry from society

sprožil veliko zgražanje družbe

about the isolation,

nad osamitvijo,

both physical and mental,

telesno in duševno,

of these migrant workers.

teh priseljenskih delavcev.

For those who do return back to the countryside,

Tiste, ki se vrnejo na deželo,

they find themselves very welcome locally,

doma sprejmejo odprtih rok,

because with the knowledge, skills and networks

saj zaradi znanja, veščin in poznanstev,

they have learned in the cities,

ki so jih pridobili v mestih,

with the assistance of the Internet,

in s pomočjo interneta

they're able to create more jobs,

lahko vplivajo na ustvarjanje delovnih mest,

upgrade local agriculture and create new business

razvoj lokalnega kmetijstva in novih poslovnih priložnosti

in the less developed market.

na manj razvitem trgu.

So for the past few years, the coastal areas,

V zadnjih nekaj letih je zato obalna območja

they found themselves in a shortage of labor.

zajelo pomanjkanje delovne sile.

These diagrams show

Ti diagrami prikazujejo

a more general social background.

splošnejše družbeno ozadje.

The first one is the Engels coefficient,

Prvi predstavlja izračun Englovega koeficienta,

which explains that the cost of daily necessities

po katerem so stroški dnevnih potrebščin

has dropped its percentage

kot delež družinskih prihodkov

all through the past decade,

celo prejšnje desetletje,

in terms of family income,

odstotkovno padali

to about 37-some percent.

na okrog 37 odstotkov.

But then in the last two years,

Zadnji dve leti

it goes up again to 39 percent,

pa se je delež povzpel na 39 odstotkov,

indicating a rising living cost.

kar kaže na rast življenjskih stroškov.

The Gini coefficient

Ginijev koeficient dohodkovne neenakosti

has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4.

je že presegel nevarno mejo 0,4.

Now it's 0.5 --

Danes znaša 0,5,

even worse than that in America --

celo več kot v ZDA,

showing us the income inequality.

kar prikazuje večjo neenakost v prihodkih.

And so you see this whole society

V celotni družbi se torej

getting frustrated

vzbuja jeza in skrb

about losing some of its mobility.

za lastno mobilnost.

And also, the bitterness and even resentment

Poleg tega se tudi odpor in zamera

towards the rich and the powerful

do bogatih in vplivnih

is quite widespread.

hitro širita.

So any accusations of corruption

Vse obtožbe o podkupljivosti

or backdoor dealings between authorities or business

ali nezakonitih poslih med oblastmi ali poslovneži

would arouse a social outcry

bi torej sprožile javno nasprotovanje

or even unrest.

ali celo nemire.

So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging,

Preko nekaterih najbolj komentiranih tem na mikroblogih

we can see what young people care most about.

lahko torej vidimo, kaj najbolj skrbi mlade ljudi.

Social justice and government accountability

Pravična družba in vladna odgovornost

runs the first in what they demand.

sta med njihovimi prvimi zahtevami.

For the past decade or so,

V zadnjem desetletju

a massive urbanization and development

sta masovna urbanizacija in razvoj

have let us witness a lot of reports

pripeljala do številnih poročil

on the forced demolition

o prisilnem rušenju

of private property.

zasebne lastnine.

And it has aroused huge anger and frustration

To je spodbudilo izjemno jezo in zaskrbljenost

among our young generation.

med mlado generacijo.

Sometimes people get killed,

Nekateri ljudje so žrtve uboja,

and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest.

nekateri se zažgejo v znak protesta.

So when these incidents are reported

Ko pa o teh incidentih na spletu

more and more frequently on the Internet,

poročajo vse bolj pogosto,

people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.

se ljudje prebudijo in od vlade zahtevajo ukrepe, ki bi to preprečili.

So the good news is that earlier this year,

Dobra novica je, da je v začetku letošnjega leta

the state council passed a new regulation

državni svet sprejel nov predpis

on house requisition and demolition

o zasedbi in uničenju hiš

and passed the right

in s tem pravico odločanja

to order forced demolition from local governments

o prisilnem rušenju prenesel

to the court.

z lokalnih vlad na sodišče.

Similarly, many other issues concerning public safety

Podobno je še veliko drugih tem o javni varnosti

is a hot topic on the Internet.

na spletu množično komentiranih.

We heard about polluted air,

Govora je bilo o onesnaženem zraku,

polluted water, poisoned food.

onesnaženi vodi, zastrupljeni hrani.

And guess what, we have faked beef.

Imamo celo ponarejeno govedino.

They have sorts of ingredients

Posebne sestavine premaza

that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish,

po kosu piščanca ali ribe

and it turns it to look like beef.

ustvarijo videz govedine.

And then lately,

Zadnje čase so ljudje zaskrbljeni

people are very concerned about cooking oil,

zaradi jedilnega olja,

because thousands of people have been found

saj so odkrili tisoče ljudi,

[refining] cooking oil

ki so ga prečiščevali

from restaurant slop.

iz ostankov v restavracijah.

So all these things

Vsi ti dogodki

have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet.

so sprožili veliko nasprotovanje uporabnikov spleta.

And fortunately,

Na srečo

we have seen the government

se je vlada na vprašanja javnosti

responding more timely and also more frequently

začela odzivati vse hitreje

to the public concerns.

in pogosteje.

While young people seem to be very sure

Čeprav so mladi precej aktivni in jasni

about their participation

v sodelovanju

in public policy-making,

pri javnem oblikovanju politike,

but sometimes they're a little bit lost

pa so včasih nekoliko izgubljeni

in terms of what they want for their personal life.

glede želja v osebnem življenju.

China is soon to pass the U.S.

Kitajska bo kmalu prehitela ZDA

as the number one market

kot največji trg

for luxury brands --

za luksuzne znamke,

that's not including the Chinese expenditures

kar pa ne vključuje potrošnje Kitajcev

in Europe and elsewhere.

v Evropi in drugod.

But you know what, half of those consumers

A vendar polovica teh kupcev

are earning a salary below 2,000 U.S. dollars.

na mesec zasluži manj kot dva tisoč dolarjev.

They're not rich at all.

Ne gre torej za bogate ljudi.

They're taking those bags and clothes

Te torbice in obleke so zanje

as a sense of identity and social status.

izraz identitete in družbenega statusa.

And this is a girl explicitly saying

To dekle je v neki televizijski

on a TV dating show

oddaji za zmenke jasno povedalo,

that she would rather cry in a BMW

da bi raje jokala v BMW-ju,

than smile on a bicycle.

kot se smejala na kolesu.

But of course, we do have young people

Seveda pa imamo tudi mlade,

who would still prefer to smile,

ki se še vedno raje smejijo,

whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.

v BMW-ju ali na kolesu.

So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon

Na sledeči sliki vidite zelo priljubljen pojav,

called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage.

imenovan "gola poroka", oz. "goli zakon".

It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding,

To ne pomeni, da na poroki ne nosijo ničesar,

but it shows that these young couples are ready to get married

pač pa, da so se ti mladi pari pripravljeni poročiti

without a house, without a car, without a diamond ring

tudi brez hiše, avta, diamantnega prstana

and without a wedding banquet,

in brez poročne pogostitve,

to show their commitment to true love.

in s tem izrazijo predanost pravi ljubezni.

And also, people are doing good through social media.

Poleg tega ljudje preko družabnih omrežij tudi koristijo družbi.

And the first picture showed us

Prva slika prikazuje,

that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogs

kako so tovornjak s 500 brezdomnimi psi, ugrabljenimi

for food processing

za prehrambene namene

was spotted and stopped on the highway

odkrili in ustavili na avtocesti,

with the whole country watching

cela država pa je to spremljala

through microblogging.

prek mikroblogov.

People were donating money, dog food

Ljudje so darovali denar, hrano za pse

and offering volunteer work to stop that truck.

in ponudili sodelovanje pri ustavitvi tovornjaka.

And after hours of negotiation,

Po urah dogovarjanja

500 dogs were rescued.

so rešili 500 psov.

And here also people are helping to find missing children.

Ljudje tu tudi pomagajo iskati pogrešane otroke.

A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet.

Neki oče je sinovo sliko objavil na splet.

After thousands of resends in relay,

Po tisoče posredovanih sporočilih

the child was found,

so dečka našli,

and we witnessed the reunion of the family

ponovno združitev družine pa smo lahko spremljali

through microblogging.

vsi preko mikroblogov.

So happiness is the most popular word

Sreča je torej najbolj priljubljena beseda,

we have heard through the past two years.

ki smo jo slišali v zadnjih dveh letih.

Happiness is not only related

Sreča ni povezana le

to personal experiences and personal values,

z osebnimi izkušnjami in vrednotami,

but also, it's about the environment.

pač pa tudi z okoljem.

People are thinking about the following questions:

Ljudje se sprašujejo naslednje:

Are we going to sacrifice our environment further

Ali bomo še vedno žrtvovali naše okolje

to produce higher GDP?

za dvig BDP-ja?

How are we going to perform our social and political reform

Kako naj izvedemo družbene in politične reforme,

to keep pace with economic growth,

da bomo sledili gospodarski rasti

to keep sustainability and stability?

ter ohranili trajnost in stabilnost?

And also, how capable is the system

Poleg tega pa tudi, ali sistem

of self-correctness

premore dovolj samokritičnosti,

to keep more people content

da ljudstvo ne bi skrbelo

with all sorts of friction going on at the same time?

za več sočasnih trenj okoli njih?

I guess these are the questions people are going to answer.

To so vprašanja, na katera bodo odgovorili ljudje.

And our younger generation

Naša mlada generacija

are going to transform this country

bo spremenila to državo

while at the same time being transformed themselves.

in se hkrati spreminjala sama.

Thank you very much.

Najlepša hvala.
