Kwong Yue Yang, 3rd place winner of the 2019 World Championship of Public Speaking®.

I can't help but notice that top three speakers all spoke in one way or another about acceptance, irrespective of any barrier.

@J You do realize that anyone can because a minority by movie to another country, even white people

[@RanaSingh-lp4sb]

@J Dang seems like you got nothing from watching the video... What he pointed out is in fact relevant. The theme behind the motto of "Judge less, help more" is being a good person, and acting towards others as you'd want to be treated. So if anyone could be a minority in another country- knowing that would increase one's likelihood of empathizing w/ & helping others. Furthermore, your pseudo-intellectual babble impresses no one. There are thousands like you, still trying to defend the status-quo... and for what? Acting like guard dogs for your corporate masters. Why do you point out things with such hubris? Other errors in your comments; English & European & white aren't used interchangeably. Most Europeans don't identify as "white", that's Americans & aussies. Same way Africans for continent, & black for those abroad. What's your pedigree?

[@chalkcheese2503]

Loved it! Thank you

[@IMP3TIGO]

Saw the top 3 finishers and liked this one the most, although I saw this one the first so may have been biased because of that. Mic issues notwithstanding, though, I found this talk the most interesting, the speaker the most engaging, and the conclusion the most satisfying. Was a bit disappointed when I saw the top two finishers afterwards as I was expecting something at least as impressive. Good job Kwong-o!

[@ZeroOne46]

Wow. They have competition and championships for everything, huh? This one is a first for me.

I mean is a great story, but I just can't help thinking how is there no English signs in an airport. If you ever been to China, at least in Beijing airports, there are definitely English signs that direct you to places you need to go to. So, I'm not sure if he made up the story or what.....

[@kwongyueyang]

Hi Roy, this happened in 2000 or 2001, and back then there was little english to be found. It is a true story.

Hey David, Kwang graduated from University in 2002. That was about 18 years ago. So back then it might be possible that China haven't adopted English that extensively yet..

I love Kwong's humor, but does anyone feel he was lack of enough passion? I thought he could got to at least 1st runner up.

[@kwongyueyang]

I'll admit, when compared to the other 2 contestants, then my passion does look a little lower. In my mind I wanted to have a conversation with the audience, so toned down my energy. Something for me to think about

[@mattgoldberg4335]

Well done, Kwong. I think it's important that you remain authentic - true to yourself and to the objectives of your speech. Theatrics don't always work.

@@mattgoldberg4335 Thanks Matt. You're right, authenticity is super important :)

[@IwasUnknownUser]

@@kwongyueyang I really feel a little bit boring with these kind of story like "pollution/noodles/fortunate cookie (there is no such thing in China)". I don't know your parents background, but I totally understand your parents generation moved out mainland China/Hong Kong/ or other places because of the poverty and isolation of China by western countries, and also that's the reason they didn't want you to learn to speak Mandarin, but now, which turns out to be a huge mistake, right? No one is going to brainwash you. I am in EU now, and not interested to get involved with local 2nd Asian originated from China (Chinese is not a race).

A good speech but I doubt he improvised it. I suspect that he memorised the speech, then tried to work the given phrase (less and more) into it.

His smile makes me uncomfortable

[@thelegend90028]

Lmao....World Championship of Public Speaking.... I've seen it all....

[@terrie001]

I feel his other speeches like the fortune cookie and four words are better than this one. I don’t find the humor that funny on this speech and it seems to bore me out a bit with the long boring setting of being on the plane with a lot of self-thoughts throughout rather than progressing the story (there really isn’t much of a story... if it progress faster, this speech will be like 4min long). I like creativity and crafting new speeches, but it is sad that the Indian guy who won 2 years ago just re-used his old speech and won... so may want to just reuse your old speech next time if you can’t come up with a better one.

I can not believe people actually fall for this stuff almost cult of personality. I worked in marketing for 30 plus years I have heard hundreds of speeches and lectures. I have learned words are only words, virtually anyone with an IQ over 90 can prepare to deliver a knock out speech, it is called mimicking, however a person who mimics with an approx IQ of 90 is a poor critical thinker. Everyone has something to say I am not interested. People must be easily impressed with a polished scripted speech, I think we are in trouble if we place this much value in a speech.
