Author Video Description
Huang Yinbao shares how Esperanto became his bridge to the wider world. Esperanto not only opened new paths in agricultural science and international exchange but also became a tool to tell the stories of his hometown and to step onto the global stage. Life may not be defined by a single “Plan A,” but by the “Plan B” we dare to embrace. Huang Yinbao, a college graduate and small-town civil servant from Gansu, used little-known language Esperanto to reach the world stage. He spoke at UNESCO, led the Esperanto edition of The UNESCO Courier, and served as vice president of the Universal Esperanto Association. Through his own journey, he shows that hard work brings rewards, and that life can always have its own “Beta version.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
