Thank you for giving me the opportunity to perform tonight at TED New York. I've been a dedicated TED fan and viewer, and also, I actually used to live in Manhattan when I was younger, so New York is like a second home to me, and it's great to be back. The song I just performed was called "my mama," and the next song I'm going to perform is another original song of mine called "BLACK BANANA." This song I wrote about the importance of being patient with your dreams. Because I think commitment will always be rewarded. Just like fruit ripens when the time is right. So it's my interpretation of building the future.
谢谢给我这次机会在纽约TED演唱。 我是TED忠实的粉丝和观众, 我小时候确实在曼哈顿住过一段时间, 所以纽约对我来说就是第二个家, 我很开心能回来。 我刚刚唱的那首歌叫“我的妈妈”, 接下来我要唱的歌 是我的另一首原创歌曲,一“黑香蕉”。 我写的这首歌是关于耐心对待自己梦想的重要性。 因为我觉得坚持就是胜利。 就像时机到了,水果自然会成熟。 这是我自己对未来的理解。
