She Was Pretty | Trúc Anh Nguyễn | TEDxLuong The Vinh Youth
Trúc Anh tells a heartfelt story of how a life shaped by beauty and admiration was suddenly disrupted when change arrived, bringing judgment, silence, and loss. What once felt like a downfall became a turning point, as she slowly rebuilt her health, her confidence, and her voice. Through this journey, she discovered that true beauty lies not in fitting expectations, but in authenticity, resilience, and the courage to love herself. Her message reminds us that strength is born not from perfection, but from rising after we fall Nguyễn Trúc Anh (born September 23, 1998, in Ho Chi Minh City) is a Vietnamese actress best known for her breakout role in Dreamy Eyes (Mắt Biếc, 2019), where she was chosen over 1,400 candidates and helped the film reach record box-office success. A former Top 20 finalist of the Miss Áo Dài Student contest, she has also appeared in youth films and commercials, and was nominated for Best Actress at the 2020 Golden Kite Awards.

- 3:06How my moves make me a superhero | Zeqian MENG | TEDxPennon Qingdao YouthThe minute I hear music my sneakers start sparking like loose wires. I pop, lock, flip, and freeze, turning our living-room rug into my own bright stage. Every lunch break I practice footwork; every spelling word gets a back-spin. Today I’ll show how hip-hop tricks teach me math beats, bravery, and big smiles. Dancing lets me tell stories with my whole body, no pens needed. I hope my wiggles make your feet itch to join the groove too! Hi, I'm Zech, 8 years old. I love hip-hop dancing, playing basketball, and speaking up—they make me happy! I also enjoy English books, English songs, and my favorite cartoon Journey to the West. Cool, right?
