At Life’s Edge: Discovering Life’s Best Way of Being | Jiumei (Master Peace) Zhang | TEDxCSTU
What is the best state of life?In this moving and deeply insightful TEDx talk, Jiumei (Master Peace)—once a celebrated entrepreneur and public figure in China—shares the pivotal turning points that reshaped her understanding of life and success.Having experienced both the heights of worldly acclaim and the solitude of years in retreat, Jiumei reflects on two profound encounters at life’s edge that transformed her inner world. Through personal storytelling, scientific insight, and contemplative practice, she offers a perspective rarely found in boardrooms or textbooks.This talk is more than a reflection—it is a quiet revolution. In the age of AI and constant change, Jiumei redefines success, resilience, and leadership. She invites us to reconsider: in an uncertain future, what does true “flourishing” mean? And perhaps, the “best state of life” she discovered is one of the most vital capacities we can cultivate for the future.Event: TEDxCSTU
