- 14:13Racing Through Chaos: Lessons from the World’s Toughest Runs | PenBin CHEN | TEDxTheBundFrom the Sahara Desert to Antarctica, from the Amazon rainforest to the Himalayas, Chen Pen Bin has run through some of the harshest environments on Earth. In ultramarathons stretching hundreds of kilometers, he has faced freezing cold, searing heat, oxygen-thin altitudes, swamps, and brutal fatigue. Along the way, he has dealt with tactical missteps, injuries, and even penalties caused by language barriers. Yet, through constant adjustment and steady accumulation of experience, he has learned to turn unpredictable conditions into opportunities—using strategy to navigate the uncontrollable and calm to hold on to victory. For Chen, “victory in the midst of chaos” is not just crossing the finish line—it is the ongoing process of correcting course in the unknown, awakening the body’s instincts, and carrying the power of being seen as a Chinese athlete on the world stage.

- 12:30The Steady Work Behind Every Breakthrough | JUN CAO | TEDxTheBundCao Jun went from childhood stardom to choosing to slow down, experiencing both the highs of fame and the long quiet stretches in between. In an industry that changes by the minute, he’s faced fewer roles, failed auditions, and skeptical eyes. But in those low seasons, he chose to dig in—treating every small part and every rehearsal as a step toward what’s next. With the guidance of his teachers and years of self-discipline, he’s learned to throw himself fully into a role while staying in control, and to redefine what success and worth really mean. For him, true victory isn’t the moment the world notices you—it’s the work you keep doing when no one’s watching.
