How to get along with misunderstanding | Dan LI | TEDxCEIBS

Writer, Scriptwriter, Curator and Co-Founder of Fun Factory Dan Li entertained the audience by sharing the origin of a quote that went viral across social media in China. After watching the particularly sad ending of a play, Li posted "Nothing worths your sorrow on earth"or (人间不值得) on his Weibo account. The words were taken out of context and spread across the internet. But Li has embraced the misunderstanding, creating a series of merchandise, wine labels and festival attractions that carry the quote. - Writer, Scriptwriter, Curator and Co-founder of Shanghai Fun Factory Media Ltd

LI Dan is recognized to be a person with a great spirit of fun. As a poet, he is sensitive, stubborn and desolate. However, his work as a talk show actor has made him funny, humorous and incisive. He has quietened the mind of many people and gained numerous fans with a few words:“Be happy, my friends, there’s nothing worth your sorrow on earth.” People who are not familiar with him will take him to be a facetious talented comedian, while people who have followed him for a long time say that he is just trying to face the bitter life with a sense of humor. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
