第一篇：体育教师工作总结王保宏

体育教师工作总结

2011上半年的一个学年即将过去，又到了本学年教学总结的时间，反思在这一学年里我深刻体会到了做体育老师的艰辛和快乐，我把自己的青春倾注于我所钟爱的教育事业上，倾注于每一个学生身上；一个学年的工作已经圆满结束，收获不少，下面我对本学年的工作做以下总结，并为新学年的工作确立新的目标。

一、思想认识

在一学年里，作为一名年轻老师，我在思想上严格律己，热爱党的教育事业，全面贯彻党的教育方针，以党员的要求严格要求自己，鞭策自己，力争思想上和工作上在同事、学生的心目中都树立起榜样的作用。积极参加学校组织的各项政治活动。一学年来，我服从学校的工作安排，配合领导和老师们做好校内外的各项工作。我相信在以后的工作学习中，我会在党组织的关怀下，在同事们的帮助下，通过自己的努力，克服缺点，取得更大的进步。新的学年即将来临，我将更加努力工作，勤学苦练，使自己真正成为一个经受得起任何考验的好同志。

二、教学工作

在教学过程中，教学进度和教学内容的安排，按照由易到难，由简到繁的原则，实行多次重复练习，使学习内容在学生头脑中留下较深刻的印象，有利于学生对技术动作的掌握和运动表象的形成。运动负荷由小到大，满足了不同类型学生的要求，学生上课积极性高，能在老师的要求下积极锻炼，对学生本身增强体质，矫正和补偿身心缺陷起到了很大的作用。使他们养成了良好的行为习惯和正确的课堂常规。

通过体育课的锻炼，使那些有行动障碍的学生消除了自卑心理，感受到了学校、班级和老师的温暖，有利于学生在今后的学习过程中树立良好的自尊心，促进德、智，体等方面的全面发展。

整个体育教学，突出了实用性和趣味性的原则，既保证了学生得到积极锻炼，又使学生在学习过程中感到愉快，养成了锻炼身体的习惯。在教案的编写上，突出了个别化教学原则，尽量使每个学生都能有适合自己的活动内容和活动方式，更增强了学生的自信心，使他了解到自己在这个群体中重要性，是我们这个大家庭中不可缺少的一员。教师对学生的过高要求也是不利快乐体育的实施。教师在要求学生完成动作或训练时，有必要降低难度或要求，使身体素质较差的学

生也能在运动中体验到成功，如我在单足跳的练习中，可允许学生换一次脚，这样就使学生尝到了成功的滋味，有了很大的成就感。对待学生方面，既要求严格注重素质的培养，提高他们的自信心方面，还多给予鼓励和表扬，坚定他们克服困难决心，也培养他们吃苦耐劳，顽强拼搏的体育精神。

三、学校工作

我严格要求自己，工作实干，认真组织课余训练工作，精心计划、筹备每次的课外活动和比赛，尽力丰富师生的校园生活。时刻为学生的活动安全着想，及时维护有隐患得体育设施和场地。作为体育组的一员，通过其他教师和我的共同努力和配合，我们出色地完成了2011年银川科技职业学院田径运动会径运训练和比赛工作，还有2011年CUBA（宁夏赛区）我校女篮训练工作，并取得了四强的好成绩。积极组织学生参加2011年教育部安排的学生体质达标工作。增加了全校师生的运动参与热情培养了他们对体育运动的爱好，强化了师生们的团结拼搏意识。在以后的工作，我将一如既往，脚踏实地，我会更加积极地配合学校领导完成各项任务，为学校的美好明天更加努力。

四、考勤方面

我在做好各项教育教学工作的同时，严格遵守学校的各项规章制度。处理好学校工作与个人之间的关系，在新学年中，我应更加勤恳，为学校作更多的事，自己更加努力学习专业知识，使自己的工作知识水平更上一层楼。

五、主要成绩

在这一年中，我认真对待、积极参与上级部门组织的各项活动。我上交的体育学科论文在县教育局的论文评比中获得二等奖；上交的五中区连片教研论文获初中组优秀奖，个人通过不断努力和其他同事的帮助和指点使我的专业水平得到了极大的提高。在以后的教学和学习中我会更加努力学习。

教书育人是塑造灵魂的综合性艺术。在课程改革推进的今天，社会对教师的素质要求更高，在今后的教育教学此文转自斐斐课件园工作中，我将立足实际，认真分析和研究好教材、大纲，研究好学生，争取学校领导、师生的支持，创造性地搞好体育与健康课的教学，使我们的工作有所开拓，有所进取，更加严格要求自己，努力工作，发扬优点，改正缺点，开拓前进，为美好的明天奉献自己的力量

第二篇：王宏杰 工作总结

工作总结

时光荏苒，岁月如梭，转眼间2017年已接近尾声。2017年是系统体制改革、ETC收费车道顺利开通的关键年。一年里，我们在收费工作上取得了一定的成绩，但是离所要达到的目标还有一定的距离。作为收费班长，我深知自身应该要担当起的责任。在带好班集体，为领导分忧解难，做好收费班管理等工作上应在多下功夫，为大时尼奇收费工作做出贡献。关于一年工作，我做如下总结：

一．班组工作

我们收费一班，共有收费员7名，监控员3名。我们都在为了同一个目标而努力，这个目标就是要把收费工作给做好，努力成为站级甚至是局级优秀班集体。一年里，我们班从收费业务、文明服务、安全生产、工作纪律、打击逃费与超限车辆、加强学习等方面展开工作。

1.收费业务

收费业务的好坏直接影响收费工作的顺利开展。我们每月有目标、有计划、有步骤的学习和考核，熟悉掌握各类收费政策及操作流程。努力提高应对突发事件、特殊事件能力，保证收费现场的畅通。

2.文明服务

收费亭做为站所形象的窗口，我们的一言一行、一举一动都代表着站所以及局里的形象。我们班要求每一个成员都严格做好文明服务，做到每一辆车必须做到唱收唱付，着装整洁统一，面带微笑、说文明用语。

3.安全生产

我在工作中时刻恪守“安全意识”，严把安全观，严格按照局里和收费站要求做好安全工作，经常组织学习安全知识及应急安全演练。按时按标准完成班组安全日志、安全学习、安全检查、安全会议，积极做到全年零事故。

4.工作纪律

无规矩不成方圆，经常组织本班同志学习各项规章制度，做到人人都严格要求自己。平时工作从小事做起、从细节抓起，杜绝各类违纪违规现象的发生，当班期间，坚决不做与工作无关的事情。

5.打击逃费与超限车辆

在打击逃费与超限车辆方面，尤其是冲卡车方面收效甚微，还需要改进工作方法和力度。

6.加强学习

今年是系统体制改革、ETC收费车道顺利开通的关键年，许多新的制度、新的操作流程及操作技巧都发生了改变。我们积极组织开展学习，提升业务能力，加强自身素质，努力做好收费工作。

二．个人方面 1.放眼大局

作为一名班长，就要比收费员担待的多，吃苦在前，享受在后，处理特情的时候时刻站在站所的角度，去分析、去思考。上级领导下发的每一份文件，班长要在第一时间学习并熟记于心，通过班会传达给员工。让班组成员能够在实际工作中从容应对，最重要的是能够认真熟练地贯彻和执行。

2.抓业务

一班的业务水平一直不错，但是下半年出现的操作失误还是较多，究其原因是因为新进员工较多造成的，针对此现象我们进行了系统的培训，只有通过系统的培训才能够从根本上解决问题。一点一点抓起，最终取得了很明显的成效。

3.加强班组成员之间的沟通

班长要在班组成员之间搭建起交流的桥梁。别看平时大家都各忙各的，但是也会因为种种原因产生一些矛盾，这时候班长的协调能力就得到了体现，协调好了班组成员之间的矛盾，班组氛围就好了，班长的工作也能顺利的开展。

三、存在不足

在不断系统实践的同时，我应当要加强学习，提升自己的觉悟，及时跟领导沟通，让领导了解班组的情况。我深刻知道，在大时尼奇收费所作为一名收费班长，需要的能力还应该更多，对此我将在以后的工作中向领导及老员工学习，取长补短，争取以更高的姿态去面对工作。

奶奶许留芬是清华大学经济系毕业，著有《会计学原理》、《英汉汉英会计学辞典》等；舅公许倬云台大历史系、芝加哥大学博士毕业，是著名的史学家；然后，王爸爸是台大的，王妈妈是政大的，王力宏的哥哥是耶鲁的学士、芝加哥大学的硕士和博士，嫂嫂则是布朗大学的学士，芝加哥大学的硕士，两人现在在哈佛医学院工作，弟弟是麻省理工的硕士，弟媳是其 同学。王力宏自己则是毕业自威廉姆斯音乐学院。真正是学霸一家啊！

01 音乐是我的生命，谢谢大家肯定我的生命（金曲奖感言）

02 刚上中学时，我在纽约地下了解过很多不同的音乐风格，比如Hip-Hop、摇滚等，后来融入自己的风格中。这是优点也是缺点。（总结自己的音乐特性）03 这不是真正的竞争对手，我竞争的是要把华人的音乐更加国际化，对手应该是国外歌手或音乐人，反而觉得华人歌手都是我的同事们，不应该分散力量，我们都是自己人

04 现在流行R&B?不见得完全是，孙燕姿唱的不是R&B啊！好歌绝对可以突破任何市场，产生共鸣。（2000年评说“流行音乐”）

05 我作音乐的原则就是大胆，大方，开放。哪里有喜欢我音乐的人，我就去。我喜欢拿音乐和全世界的人沟通，我相信音乐的力量，能够改变人的生活，改变整个世界。

06 我不会后悔，因为我觉得人生只有一条路，你既然已经做了决定的选择，就好好的去做吧，任何事情都必须付出代价的，在我选择音乐，选择自由的同时，或许其实就已经付出了孤独的代价。

07 如果别人只看外形，对我来说，是悲哀。

08 我现在的生活很靠近地狱（2000年形容自己被媒体烦扰的生活）

09 你不能一直停留在过去的回忆之中，人要很诚恳的生活，才会激发更多的灵感。水在杯子里是一个杯，在壶里就是一个壶，可以千变万化，有时很温柔，又可以非常Powerful,所以我想做“水”。球是机遇，握在手中的球不能太重也不能太轻，否则发挥欠佳，也许，就因为我们不能每次都一击全中，所以更需要看准机会，该出发时就全力以赴，无需迟疑。这一盘打的不好，只要不放弃，一定还有下一盘的。只有寂寞才可以让人成长，我享受一个人的孤独。音乐人都是寂寞的，而且也是自虐的，太好的环境做不出好音乐。荣誉让我感到欣慰，而挫折才真正使我进步。看到他们在神父面前边宣誓边流泪，我真的很渴望自己的幸福快点到来！当一个人比当一个艺人更重要，我不否认我也很期待恋爱。但一段感情是要细水长流的是要努力去营造的，而不是理所当然。（对哥哥结婚的感想）爱情我希望一球全中，白头到老。16 我不太相信一见钟情，那实在是太危险了。我专一浪漫，但只会为我爱的人而浪漫。我尽量不谈感情和私生活，因为我尊重对方。当一个艺人最有趣、最有意义的就是：虽然音乐对大多数人来说是娱乐而非理想，但试想你的歌曲可能陪着当代孩子的成长，它可能会拥有足以跨越时代的力量。

第四篇：王力宏

Leehom Wang Oxford Union speech exception。。because knowing both of a coin I really think thatthere’s a love story willing to be told and willing to unfold。I’m willing to tointerpret the love story because I believe it is the story that will save us，will bring us together。

And my thesis statement for today’s talk is that the relationship between east and west needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture。

（laughing。。）I’m going to try to back it up！

The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said：“There are no languages required in a music world。That is the power of music and that’s the power of the

heart。Through this promotion of arts we can better understand the

culture and civilizations of the other people。In this era ofinstability and intolerance we need to promote better understanding through the power of music。”

The UN Secretary General thinks we need more music，and I think he’s right。

Music and arts have always played the key role in my life，in building relationships，replacing what once was ignorance fearing of hatred with acceptance，friendship and even love。

So I have strong case for growing in music between cultures because it happened to me earlier in life。

I was born and raised up in New York，barely spoke a word of Chinese。I didn’t know the difference between Taiwan and Thailand。

（laughing。。）

I was American as。。until one day on a third grade playground，the inevitable finally happened。I got teased for being Chinese。

Every kid just teased for making fun on the playground，but this was fundamentally different and I knew it right then and there。This kid，let’s call him Brayan the Cowboy。。

He started making fun for me，saying“Chinese，Japanese,Dirty kneess,Look at these!”

(laughing…)

The kids started laughing at me and it hurts!

I can still remember how I can felt，I felt shamed，I felt barrased，but I laughted along with them，with everybody。I didn’t know what else to do。I was like having out-body experience，as if I could laugh at that Chinese kid on the playground with all the other American kids because I was one of them。

Right？Wrong！On many levels。

And I was facing first but definitely not the last time the harsh reality that I was minority。

In Rochester，which in those ages Asian population was about 1%。And I was confused。I wanted to punch Bryan，I wanted to hurt him for hunting me in that situation。But he was masculine，stronger than me and he will kick my butt and he would do that so I just took it in。And I didn’t tell anyone with these feelings and I just held them in and let them repressed.Those feelings trough surface in a strangely therapeutically for me through music。

It was no coincident that around that time I started paly violion，guitar and drums，I soon discovered that playing music or singing，other kids would，for a brief moment，forget about my race of colour and they be able to see who truly I am，as a human being who’s emotional spiritual curious about the world and has a need for love just like everyone else。

And by the sixth grade，guess who asked me if I could join him for his band。

（Bryan）Bryan！

I said yes and that’s Bryan and me together，from the elementary school rock band called“Nirvana”

（laughing）

I’m not kidding，I was a rock band called“Nirvana”before Kurt Cobain’s band。So when Nirvana came out，Bryan and I were like:Hey，he’s stealing our name!

What really attracted to me is that music at this young age and still I love about it is that it breakes down the walls between us and show us so quickly the truth that we are much more alike than we are different。

Then in high school，I learnt that music was not just about connecting with others，like Bryan and I were connected through music。It was a powerful tool of influence and inspiraton。

Sam Nguyen was my high school janitor。He was an immigrant from Vietnam who barely spoke a word of English。

Sam swept the floors and cleaned the bathroom of our school for twenty years。

He never talked to the kids and the kids never talked to Sam。

But one day，before the opening night before our school’s annual，he walked up to me and holding a letter。

I was taken to the back and I was thingking;why Sam the janitor would approaching me?

He gave me this letter that I was draw off in a shaky hand and written in all capitals，and I read it:

In all my years of working as a janitor at Sutherland，you are the first Asian boy who plays the rock，I will bring my six-year-old daughter to watch you perform because I wanted her to see the Asian communities and inspire her。

第五篇：王力宏演讲

I never thought I would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the Oxford Union, without a guitar or an erhu, without my crazy stage hair and costumes, but I did perform in the O2 Arena in London last week.I’m not sure if any of you [x]…

But in many ways that is similar to what I’m talking about today, that is, introducing Chinese pop music.See, I’m actually an ambassador for Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, for both music and movies, and today I’m here to give you a State of Union address.It’s not the Oxford Union, it’s the union of East and West.I want to frankly and openly and honestly talk about how we’ve done a good job, or how we’ve done a bad job, of bringing Chinese pop to the West.And I also want to impress upon all of you here today the workings of that soft power exchange and how each of us is involved in that exchange.Soft power, a term I’m sure you’re all familiar with, coined by Rhodes Scholar and Oxford alumnus Joseph Nye, is defined as the ability to attract and persuade.Shashi Tharoor called it, in a recent TEDTalk, “the ability of a culture to tell a compelling story and influence others to fall in love with them”.I like that definition.But I want to put it in collegiate term for you students in the audience.The way I see it, East and West, are kinda like freshmen roommates.You don’t know a lot about each other aside that you’re living with each other in the same room.And each one is scared the other’s gonna steal his shower time or wants to party when the other wants to study.It has the potential to be absolute hell.We all have horror stories of that roommate, we all heard about those stories.I know a lot of students here in Oxford have their own separate bedrooms.But when I was a freshman at Williams College [crowd interjects] You’re kidding!Woohoo!Well I had a roommate.And he was that roommate.Let’s just call him Frank.So Frank was my roommate and Frank liked nothing more than to smoke weed.[laughter] And he did it every day.And Frank had a 2-foot long bong under his bed that was constantly being fired up.For those Chinese speakers in the audience, Frank would 火力全开 on that bong.So I guess I was kinda the opposite of Bill Clinton, who tried marijuana but didn’t inhale: I didn’t try marijuana but I did inhale.Every single day.Second hand.And strangely enough, every time I go into our bedroom, I mysteriously end up being late for class.I was like, dude is it already 10 o’clock?

So, how many of you have lived with that Frank, or be a Frank? Having a roommate can be a recipe for disaster, but it also can have the potential of being the greatest friendship you’ve ever had.See, Frank, he didn’t make it to second year.And I got two new roommates instead: Stephan and Jason, and these days the three of us are the best of friends.So going back to my analogy, East and West, as roommates, do we want to be Frank, or do we want to be Steph and Jason, and I think in this day and age, in 2013, we should all be striving for the latter.I’m assuming we all agree that this is the goal that we all strive for.Now, let’s look at where we are in reality, in recent headlines, in the media include, Foreign policy [maybe?], China’s victim complex, Why are Chinese leaders so paranoid about the United States or the [AP, the Associated Press?], Human rights in China worse than US.Bloomberg says, on the cover of this magazine, Yes, the Chinese army is spying on you [laughter] And it’s such a great one that I want to show you the cover of the magazine [laughter][Ed:check out the photo on the right!] Yes, be very afraid![laughter]

There’s actually an extremely high amount of negativity and fear and anxiety about China, Sinophobia, that I think is not just misinformed and misleading and ultimately dangerous.Very dangerous.And what about how Westerners are viewed by Chinese? Well, we have terms for Westerners.The most common of which are gwailo, in Cantonese which means “the old devil”, laowai, meaning “the old outsider” in Mandarin, ang moh, which means “the red hairy one” in Taiwanese, and the list goes on and on.So are these roommates heading for a best friend relationship? I think we need a little help.And as China rise to power, I think it is more important than ever for us to more discerning about what we believe because after all, I think, that’s the purpose of higher education, and that’s why we are all here, to be able to think for ourselves and make our own decisions.China’s not just those headlines.The burgeoning economy with unique politics.It is not just the world’s factory or the next big superpower, it’s so much more, a billion people with rich culture, amazing stories, and as a product of both of those cultures, I want to help foster an understanding between the two.And [x] that incredible relationship, because knowing both sides of the coin, I really think that there is a love story waiting to be told, ready to unfold.And I’m only half joking when I said love story because I believe it is the stories that will save us and bring us closer together.And my thesis statement for today’s talk is that the relationship between East and West needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture, and I’m going to try and back it up.Now, the UN Sec-Gen Ban Ki Moon said, “There are no languages required in the musical world.That is the power of music.That is the power of heart.” Through this promotion of arts we can better understand the culture and civilisation of other people.And in this era of instability and intolerance, we need to promote better understanding through the power of music.The UN Sec-Gen thinks that we need more music, and I think that he is right.Music and arts have always played a key role in my life, in building relationships, replacing what once were ignorance, fear and hatred, with acceptance, friendship and even love.So I have a strong case for promoting music between cultures because it happened to me early in my life.I was born in Rochester, New York, I barely spoke a word of Chinese.I didn't know the difference between Taiwan or Thailand.[laughter] I was as American as apple pie, until one day on the 3rd grade playground, the inevitable finally happened: I got teased for being Chinese.Now every kid gets teased or being made fun of in the playground, but this was fundamentally different and I knew right then and there.So this kid let’s call him Brian [x].He started making fun of me, saying “Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these!” [laughing] We’re laughing now but it hurt!

I could still remember how I felt, I felt ashamed, I felt embarrassed.But I laughed along with everyone.And I didn't know what else to do.It was like having an out of body experience.As if I could laugh at that Chinese kid on the playground with all the other Americans because I was one of them, right? Wrong, on many levels.And I was facing the first and definitely not the last time the harsh reality was that I was minority in Rochester, which in those days had an Asian population of 1%.And I was confused.I wanted to punch Brian.I wanted to hurt him for putting me in that situation but he was faster than me, and he was stronger than me, and he would kick my butt and we both knew that, so I just took it in.I didn't tell anyone or share with anyone these feelings, I just held them in and I let them fester.And those feelings would surface in a strangely therapeutic way for me through music, and it was no coincidence that around at that time I started getting good with the violin, and the guitar and the drums.And I’d soon discovered that by playing music or singing that the other kids would for a brief moment forget about my race or color and accept me and then be able to see me for who I truly am: a human being who is emotional, spiritual, curious about the world, and has a need for love just like everyone else.And by the sixth grade, guess who asked me if I would the drummer of their band? Brian.And I said yes.And that’s when we together formed an elementary school rock band called… Nirvana.I’m not kidding, I was in a rock band called Nirvana before Kurt Cobain's Nirvana was ever known… So when Nirvana came out, Brian and I were like, hey he’s stealing our name!But really what attracted me to music at this young age was just that, and still is what I love about music, is that it breaks down the walls between us and shows us so quickly the truth that we are much more alike than we [think?].And then in high school, I learned that music wasn’t just about connecting with others, like Brian and I were connected through music.It was a powerful tool of influence and inspiration.Sam [Nguyen?] was my high school janitor.He was an immigrant from Vietnam who barely spoke a word of English.Sam scrubbed the floors and cleaned the bathrooms of our school for twenty years.He never talked to the kids, and the kids never talked to Sam.But one day before the opening night of our school’s annual musical, he walked up to me holding a letter, and I was taken aback and I was thinking, why is Sam the janitor approaching me? And he gave me this letter that I’ve kept it to this day, it was scrawled in shaky hand written in all capitals and it read, in my all years working as a janitor at Sutherland, you were the first Asian boy to play the lead role.I’m going to bring my 6-year-old daughter to watch you perform tonight because I want her to see that Asians can be inspiring.And that letter just floored me.I was 15 years old and I was absolutely stunned.That was the first time I realized how music was so important.With Brian, it helped two kids who were initially enemies to become friends, but with Sam, music went beyond the one-on-one.It was an even higher level;it influenced others I didn’t even know, in ways I could never imagine.I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Sam to this day, he really is one of the people who helped me discover my life’s purpose, and I had no idea that something I did could mean more than ever imagined to an immigrant from Vietnam who barely even spoke English.Pop culture, music, and the other methods of storytelling, movies, TV dramas, they are so key, and they do connect us, like me and Brian, and do influence us, and inspire us.Then let’s take another look at this state of union, the East and West union, with this soft power bias.How is the soft power exchange between these two roommates? Are there songs in English that have become hits in China? Sure.How about movies? Well, there are so many that China has had to limit the number of Hollywood movies imported into the country so that local films could even have a chance at success.What about [x], well, [inaudible exchange with an audience member], yeah, and movies, well there was Crouching Tiger [Hidden Dragon], that was 13 years ago.Well, I think there’s a bit of an imbalance here.It’s called “soft power deficit”, that is to say the West influences the East more than vice versa.Forgive me for using “East” and “West” kinda loosely, it’s a lot easier to say than “English-speaking… language” or “Asian-speaking… language/Chinese”, I’m making generalisation and I hope you can go with me on this.And it’s just intrinsically a problem, this imbalance in pop culture influence.And I think so.In any healthy relationship, friendship, marriage, isn’t it important for both sides to make an effort to understand the other? And that this exchange needs to have a healthy balance? And how do we address this? As an ambassador for Chinese pop music and movies, I have to ask myself a question: Why does this deficit exist? Is it because Chinese music just [is lame?].Do you want me to answer that? [laughter] Yeah I think I see some of you are like, stop complaining and write a hit song!Psy did it!But there’s truth in that.The argument being that, the content that we’ve created just isn’t as internationally competitive.But why shouldn’t it?

Look at Korean pop, look at K-pop for example.Korean is an export-based economy and they are outward looking and they must be outward looking.Chinese pop on the other hand can just stay domestic, tour all over China, stick in territories and comfortably sustain.So when you’re that big and powerful, with over 160 cities in China with a million or more people, you tend to kinda turn inward and be complacent.So this certainly can be made an argument made for Chinese pop not being marketed with international sensibilities, but the other side of the argument I think is more interesting and thought provoking and even more true, is that Western ears aren’t familiar with and therefore don’t really understand how to appreciate Chinese music.Ouch!

The reason I think that the argument holds water though is because that’s exactly what I went through, so I happen to know a thing or two about learning to appreciate Chinese pop as a Westerner.'Cos I was 17 years old when I went from being an Asian kid in America to being an American kid in Asia, and the entire paradigm suddenly got flipped on its head.I grew up listening to Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, and I found myself in Taiwan listening to the radio and thinking, where’s the beat? Where’s the screeching guitar solos? Here I am as an American kid in Asia listening to Chinese music for the first time and thinking that “this stuff is lame.I don’t like it!” I thought it was cheesy, production value was low, and the singers couldn’t belt like Axl Rose or Mariah Carey.But then one day, I went to my first Chinese pop concert, and it was Harlem Yu performing at the Taipei Music Centre, and as he performed, I looked around the audience and I saw their faces and the looks in their eyes and their response to his music, and it was clear to me finally where the problem lay.It wasn’t that the music that was lacking, it was my ability to appreciate it and to hear it in the right way.The crowd, they would sing along and be totally immerse in his music, and I thought that it was significant, that I was missing the point and from now on, I was going to somehow learn how to get it, I was gonna learn how to hear with both ears, and I deconstructed and analysed what it was that made Chinese audiences connect with certain types of melodies, and rhythms, and song structures, and lyrics, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past almost twenty years, and it took me a long time and I am still learning but at some point, I not only began to be able to appreciate the music but I started being able to contribute to it and create my own fresh spins on the tried-and-true.And I think this happens to everyone, really, who is on the outside looking in.It always looks strange if you looked at things from your perspective, you’re always going to think that these people are weirdos, what’s wrong with them, why are they listening to these stuff? And I’m saying that you can make the effort [x], it can be done, and I’m living proof of that.And as an ambassador of Chinese pop, I’m trying to get people to open up to a sound that they may not feel is palatable on the first listen.So what else can we do to reduce this imbalance in our popular cultures? Well, maybe we could talk a lot, tour more outside of China? But seriously, actually I think the tides have already started to change, very slowly, very cautiously, almost calculatedly.You see more cross-cultural exchange now, more interest in China, definitely a lot of joint ventures, a lot of co-productions in recent years, Iron Man 3, Transformers, [53?][laughter], Resident Evil, really it’s beginning to be kinda like a world pop, and that’s what I’m looking forward to and focusing on these days.There’s J-pop, there’s K-pop, there’s C-pop, and there’s like this W-pop that’s kinda starting to emerge.It’s world pop, and I love that idea.It’s not World Music.There used to be section in HMV called World Music, and I was like Ethnomusicology class in college.But world pop is more about breaking and tearing down age-old stereotypes, the artificial confines that have kept us apart for way too long.It’s a melting pot, and it’s mosaic, that even if we looked up close, we’d still see the colours and flavours of each culture in detail.And where can we go to listen to world pop? I don’t think there’s a world pop station or magazine, unfortunately, there are none--there should be.There is the internet, and YouTube has proven to be a driving force for world pop.Britain’s Got Talent made Susan Boyle the hottest act in the world, and she achieved that not through the record labels or the networks, but through grassroots sharing.Gangnam Style is another great world pop, and how that just took over became huge worldwide world pop phenomenon.So world pop as it suggests is a worldwide pop culture is something that can be shared by all of us and gives us a lot of common ground.So today, what’s my call of action? I’ve already proven multicultural exchange between the East and West, I think I have made that clear, but how? I think… you can all become pop singers, really, I think that’s the [x], unless that’s what you really want to.My call of action is this: build and protect that roommate relationship between the East and West.Value this relationship and take ownership of it.Don’t come to Oxford as an exchange student from Taiwan and only hang out with other Chinese students.Why would you do that? You could do that in [x] or Nanjing or wherever you came from.Don’t buy into the headlines or the stereotypes or in the hypernationalism.Think for yourselves, and this goes for the East and the West, both.Get to know one another and think for yourselves and don’t believe the hype.For just a moment, if we could just disregard the governments and what the media are saying, just for the sake of the argument, with our own tools of critical thinking, can we build relationships that actually see one another as inpidual human beings and not faces or members of a particular ethnicity or nationality? Of course we can do that.And that’s the goal and dream, I think of the romantic artists and the musicians, I think it’s always been there.And that’s what I reach for, and that makes music so powerful and so true, that breaks down instantly and disintegrates all the artificial barriers that we create between each other, government, nationality, black, brown, yellow, white, whatever colour you are, and shows each other our hearts, our fears, our hopes, our dreams, and it turns out in end that the East isn’t that far after all, and the west, well the west, ain’t so white.And through understanding each other’s popular cultures, we gain insight into each other’s heart and true selves.And for those of you who are just beginning that journey, the West and East, I want to invite you today on this amazing journey with me, and I, as an experienced traveller on this road, on this West and East road, I’ve prepared a mixtape for all of you today, of ten songs that I love.There, that’s a C-pop mixtape that you can check out.I was gonna bring you all CDs but my publicist reminded me lovingly that that would be illegal, that as a professional recording artist, I shouldn’t do that.But I still think that it works out nicely because you get to see the music videos as well on a lot of these songs.These ten songs are songs that I love and ten different Chinese artists to start you off on getting to know and love Chinese pop and I think these guys are awesome.I just want to wrap up by saying that being here on the Oxford campus really makes me nostalgic for my days at Williams.And when I look back on those four years, some of my fondest memories are spending time with my roommates Stephan Papiano and Jason Price.In fact Jason is here in the audience today, and made a special trip from London just to see me.And I suppose in the beginning we were strangers, we didn’t know much about each other, and sometimes we did compete for the shower and there were times we did intrude on each other's privacy, but I’ve always loved listening to Stephan’s stories about growing up in a Greek family and his opinions about what Greek food really was.Or Jason’s stories, about wanting to make violins and to live in Cremona, Italy like Antonio Strapari and he did do that, and I will never forget many years later when I played a Jason Price handmade violin for the first time, and how that felt.They were always attentive and respectful when I told them what it was like for me growing up in a Chinese household with strict parents who always made me study.So we shared stories, but the strongest bonds between us were formed just sitting around and listening to music together.And I really do see that as a model for East and West.So I really want to share Chinese music with you today because it’s the best way I know how to create a lasting friendship that transcends all barriers and allow us to know each other truly, authentically and just as we are.
