First, I would like to thank all speakers and panelists for the enlighting speeches.
首先,我要感谢所有代表和嘉宾,感谢他们引人深思的发言。
My name is Roy Wang. I’m a young singer and actor from China, the country that hosts 278 million young people, and the second largest youth population in the world.
我叫王源,是来自中国的年轻歌手和演员。中国有两亿七千八百万青年人,是世界上青年人口第二多的国家。
Until yesterday , I only saw the UN building on TV. so, this is the very first time that I am honored to participate in the youth forum to raise my voice.
在昨天之前,我只是在电视上见过联合国大楼。我非常荣幸能够参加本届青年论坛,并代表中国青年发出声音。
I’m grateful for this unique opportunity. I was fortunate to work with the United Nations China sub-group on use to advocate for the image 2030 Campaign, which aims at encouraging the young generation in China to reflect and think about the world we want to see in 2030, the year the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are expected be achieved.
This campaign, meaningfully engaged a large number of young people, including millions of left-behind children, and other marginalized young people, and provided them with an opportunity to express their views and share their imagination to inspire our world.
I submitted a cartoon-drawing project. My passion for 2030 is that every young person can access good quality education, girls have the same potential to achieve amazing things as boys.
With the support from many young people across the country, the campaign, which has been running for a few months since October 26th, recorded over 500 million views online. Inspired by the campaign, understanding SDGs has become a fashion among the young people.
Dear excellencies, friends, and colleagues, taking this opportunity, both as a leader and a young person myself, I want to reassure you of Chinese young people's motivation to advance and realize SDGs wherever you are. I truly believe that our youth power can influence the world we live in, and hope that our determination can make a difference.
