What do we gain, and what do we risk losing, when tradition meets modernity? In a world where change is constant and technology evolves faster than we can adapt, how do we decide which parts of our cultural heritage to hold onto? Are traditions simply personal memories and rituals, or do they carry a deeper responsibility to society? And when we begin to change or reinterpret them, do they lose their authenticity? Or gain new life? How would these answers to these questions differ depending on someone's culture, nationality or age? What resonates with you, and why?

Let's have a smart, thoughtful discussion about the tension and harmony between old and new. We’ll explore which traditions feel hardest to modernise, how modernisation can sometimes act as both a threat and a tool for preservation, and whether clinging to the past holds us back or helps us stay grounded. From national identity to personal expression, this conversation will open up new perspectives on how we navigate culture, change, and continuity in the 21st century.

当传统遇上现代，我们到底得到了什么，又可能失去了什么？在这个变化飞快、科技发展比我们适应得还快的时代，我们该如何取舍那些根植于文化的传统？传统到底只是一些私人记忆和仪式，还是承载着对整个社会的责任？当我们试图去改变、重塑它们时，它们会失去原有的味道，还是反而获得新的生命？不同文化、国籍、年龄的人，面对这些问题时会得出怎样不同的答案？又有哪些观点真的触动了你？为什么？

这场讨论，我们将一起深入聊聊“旧”与“新”之间的张力与和谐。哪些传统最难被“现代化”？现代化到底是在消解传统，还是也能成为一种保护的手段？我们对过去的执着，是一种束缚，还是一种归属感的来源？从民族身份到个人表达，我们将一起换个角度看待文化、变迁与延续，在21世纪这个快速更新的世界里，探索一种既不失根也能拥抱未来的方式。
