A Letter to My Future Daughter | Mark Hsueh | TEDxGUIS Guangzhou Youth

Mark Hsueh, an English teacher at Guangzhou Ulink International School-NCPA Division, reflects on the hopes, values and life lessons he wants to pass on to the next generation. He frames the talk as a letter to his future daughter, touching on love, family, identity and the kind of world he hopes she will grow up in. The talk also considers what matters when shaping another person's future: the values we model, the wisdom we share and the freedom to find one's own path. It was given at an independently organized TEDxGUIS Guangzhou Youth event.
