In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

There are at least two ways in which we hope to extend life by 2050. First, advances in genetic and medical technology will extend human life by at least 20 to 30 years, and then technological breakthroughs may extend life again. Second, human's way of thinking, personality and knowledge will be fully informatized, and artificial intelligence (AI) will be used as the body carrier to create another kind of life body that is half human and half mechanical. But everything has its dual character. As man gradually satisfies his desire for immortality, he must also face future problems. When we open the door of life, will we also open the door of the devil?

In this speech, I introduced the history, development, and purpose of positive psychiatry, which is conceived as applying positive psychology principles to psychiatry. It is based on the bio psychosocial model and the empowerment model, and is aimed at addressing structural, social, and internalised level of stigma behind mental illness. As a high school student, I'm speaking to raise the awareness of mental illness stigma and encourage more people around me to care for, and empower, those individuals with mental illness. Most importantly, we should not merely harbor a hope to alleviate suffering, a sense of compassion, but serve as positive agents on those individuals' pathway to recovery and growth.

On June 6, 1981, the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported the world's first case of HIV infection. Discrimination against HIV infection is still widespread in modern society. Such behaviors will not only cause great psychological harm to these infected people, affect the treatment process, but also distort the reality and increase the risk of HIV infection in the population. In 2015, UNAIDS proposed a plan to eliminate AIDS by 2030, but what we are doing is far from enough to achieve this great goal. Let us work together to understand the facts about AIDS and work together to eliminate AIDS, the number one infectious disease, in the next 20 or 30 years.

This is an exciting time, not just because of the emergence of the Internet and the possibility of humans migrating to Mars. We've pulled out some of our favourite ideas about the 2050. This is an open-ended topic, and we hope that everyone's collision of ideas can gain even a little insight. Thirty years later, which things have grown from nothing, and which things have grown from nothing. For example, some things that we think we are used to, are actually not needed in future urban life. The barrier poles of the parking lot, the traffic lights at the crossroads, the green belts on the lanes, various payment cards, etc. This is also the most challenging era. Urban development issues, disease issues, and environmental issues have left many problems in the future. The world naturally leaves the challenges of the future to young people. If young people are given a choice, they will choose to stay on the earth and make the earth a better place instead of emigrating to Mars, because the former is more challenging. Going to Mars is only one option for young people to travel abroad. Only young people can make such a choice.

What kind of life can a girl lead? Although we have been pursuing equality, there is no denying that everyone is born with different opportunities and faces different troubles. In remote corners of the world, or even around us, there are still such girls who cannot go to school and are discriminated by others. Although great progress has been made in girls' education over the years, it has not been enough to completely erase the gender bias. In this way, universal education for girls will receive more emphasis.

Now the collapse of Japanese animation system is five years at the earliest and twenty years at the latest. Now "EVA", "Silver Eagle" and other classic works belong to the past. The fast-paced society stimulates the animation industry to create the so-called abandoned cute works. How did Japanese animation enter such a field? Where is the future of animation industry?
