- 7:31What We Don't Know about Cliche | Yingqi Zhang | TEDxGHCIS YouthIn this speech, Yingqi Zhang delved into clichés and discovered that they are not just empty expressions; in fact, they carry our so many shared stories and experiences. While many people roll their eyes at phrases like "love at first sight" or "think outside the box," I believe that it is precisely these seemingly ordinary phrases that can bring us closer together as a community. He reached a realisation in this talk, that the charm of clichés lies in their ability to convey our emotions, emotions that almost everyone has experienced. They are like an old friend—though the words may be a bit repetitive, hearing them always warms the heart. Therefore, he called on to stop simply criticizing them and instead explore the true meanings behind these expressions. This speech aims to make the audience reflect that perhaps the next time they hear a cliché, they should pause and think, "What truths does it hold for me?" By doing so, we might find more resonance and understanding, making communication more effective and vivid.
