This was a day full of harvest and vigor for us.

In the morning, we saw so many beautiful and glorious women. They looked so well not only in appearance, but also in manner. I feel in a very good mood.

The program started with the great founder and president of the women’s forum, Aude Zieseniss de Thuin delivering an opening speech. Then some of the organizers and leaders gave us a brief introduction about the three-day theme of the forum, which is “Growth and Sustainability”.

After that I attended a plenary session, “China-India: How They Are Impacting The World”, which is a universal topic and gave me a lot of knowledge which cannot be learned in college. The speaker profoundly compared China’s problems and challenges with India’s. As a young Chinese who loves her country deeply, I am aware that though China is making great achievements, there are still piracy problems, serious earthquakes, and an aging population which needs extra support. The speaker said that the differences between India and China are that they have different population policies, India has a more open political environment, China has a more open economic situation, and India's legal system is better-built than China's, so we should really learn from them. India is providing the hi-tech, and China is the factory of the world. In order to build a hi-tech industry, China should emphasize the protection of copy-rights and learn to cooperate and let the outside world know us.

Also, there may be three kinds of phenomena in sustainability which are:

1. The exchange rate in Asia will rise by 50%.
2. The environmental problems, especially the water crisis, will cause more and more desert to appear.
3. The developing countries will lead the way of changing of the life-style for the entire world.

Where there are problems, we firmly and confidently believe that there must be ways to solve them. I realize that we bring those important people who care so much about the society to this forum because these issues are not only a country’s issues, but also the whole world’s issues. We stand together to solve not my problems or your problems, but our problems.

I am also glad when the speaker said that the power of the world has started changing, because some of the developing countries, such as China and India, are growing stronger. The world will no longer be a world with only two or three powerful countries. A lot of countries will share the power and the world will be more complex and sophisticated, but more cooperation is required for that to happen.

Thanks to the sessions! They are giving us a wider horizon to care more about the whole world we live in. I am honored because I have a clear window to look out from. We youngsters have hopes in and are the hopes of the future!
