Is Living Like Most People the Easier Path? | YING PANG | TEDxTheBund
TEDx Talks· 2025-08-21 16:00
Using the debate topic “Is living like most people the easier path?” as her starting point, Pang Ying examines how the singular standards of society’s value system can quietly confine us. Conforming to the mainstream may feel effortless, but it often traps us in a one-size-fits-all measure of worth—stripping away our right to define life’s meaning for ourselves. She argues that what exhausts us is not survival itself, but the mental weight of meaninglessness and self-limitation. Pang urges her audience to r ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-08-21 15:59
To many, aging is a quiet exit—slipping away from the spotlight, slowing down, settling into the background. Ni Ping offers a different view. Through her own journey and the lives of those she loves, she shows that the “second half” of life can be just as full of purpose, curiosity, and fire. She recalls her mother and grandmother, and both everyday and celebrated figures, who kept creating, contributing, and embracing life well into their later years. In her own retirement, she picked up painting and writi ...
