Endless vitality | Junkai WEN | TEDxFuxingPark
From koji-making to pharmaceutical preparation, from the differentiation of yin and yang to the transformation of the five elements, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Chinese culture have been influencing generations of Chinese people. With accessible principles and stories, Dr. WEN Junkai painted a vivid picture of the endless vitality of nature and the harmonious transformation of all things in the universe, along with their philosophical underpinnings. He also affirmed the necessity of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If unity cannot be achieved, then we can sit down and have dumplings together—you using a fork and me using chopsticks doesn’t stop us from enjoying the deliciousness of dumplings. Dr. WEN Junkai is a Ph.D. in Chinese Medicine, editorial board member of Chinese Medicine Internationalization Research, and recipient of multiple awards, including the China Association of Chinese Medicine Excellence in Thesis Award, National Excellent Paper Award for Young and Middle-aged Scholars in Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Oncology, National Best Creativity Award in TCM Museum Design Competition, and China Association of Chinese Medicine Diagnostic Branch Excellent Paper Award. He serves as the director of the Chinese Medicine Program at the Cross-Straits Fair for Economy and Trade3, a contributing columnist for "TCM Insights" on the Xuexi Qiangguo Platform, and a writer for Shanghai Chinese Medicine Daily. He has participated in the Ministry of Education’s Annual Special Project for Belt and Road International Cooperation78, the Southeast Asia TCM Strategic Talent Cultivation Model Research, and the China-Philippines TCM Center project910.
Dr. Wen founded the nonprofit organization Joyage (Joyage Happy Aging People), dedicated to advancing TCM internationalization and community health promotion while fostering age-friendly health ecosystems. Through initiatives like "TCM in Schools: Children’s First Lesson in Sinology," "Paid Wellness Programs for Professionals," "Health Literacy Academy for Seniors," and "Women’s Health Conferences," he has connected a citywide health ecosystem spanning 52 universities, community centers, and commercial complexes across Shanghai. This initiative, now Shanghai’s largest TCM public welfare program, has served over 50,000 people and been invited to share TCM insights at Shanghai Media Group and the CTB Global Youth Research and Innovation Forum.

- 19:06The Heartbeat of the World ! | The Mode . | TEDxMaviliSquareΑν η μουσική ήταν ταινία, το soundtrack θα είχε την υπογραφή τους.Οι The Mode δεν παίζουν απλώς μουσική — πλέκουν πολιτισμούς, εποχές και παλμούς σε ένα mashup που σε κάνει να θες να χορέψεις, να σκεφτείς και να χαθείς.Με το project KOSMOS, μας ταξιδεύουν από τον ηλεκτρονικό παλμό του σήμερα, στις μυστικές μουσικές του χθες. Γιατί κάπου ανάμεσα στο παλιό και το νέο, στον θόρυβο και τη σιωπή… εκεί χτυπά η καρδιά του κόσμου.Ακούστε. Νιώστε.
