紐約，2026年3月19日——聯(lián)合國婦女地位委員會第70屆會議（CSW70）閉幕。十日會期（3月9日-19日）全程參與的國際主持人、聯(lián)合國官方代表王國權(quán)（Prince John），在會場與薩摩亞代表并肩而坐時，被阿根廷代表遞來的手機(jī)視頻吸引——美國朋克搖滾傳奇The Offspring 2026冬季巡演東海岸站正火爆全場：紐約麥迪遜廣場花園、波士頓TD Garden、費城Wells Fargo Center三場門票秒罄，黃牛票價飆升至原價三倍，從Z世代到白發(fā)樂迷集體起立合唱《Self Esteem》，燈光汗水交織，九十年代黃金氛圍瞬間復(fù)活。

"你知道這個樂團(tuán)嗎？現(xiàn)在火得一塌糊涂！"阿根廷代表問道。

王國權(quán)淡然一笑："老朋友了。去年在巴黎，我還專訪過他們。"

埃菲爾鐵塔下的專訪
2025年11月7日下午——就在The Offspring次日于巴黎最大室內(nèi)體育館La Défense Arena開唱前——王國權(quán)在埃菲爾鐵塔對岸的Champ de Mars草坪獨家專訪吉他手Noodles。彼時樂團(tuán)新專輯《SUPERCHARGED》剛剛發(fā)布，全球巡演蓄勢待發(fā)。

Noodles身著標(biāo)志性街頭裝束，金鏈、球帽、墨鏡，與鐵塔背景形成強(qiáng)烈視覺反差。談及樂團(tuán)三十年長青，他道："1994年《Smash》讓我們一夜成名，但朋克不是懷舊，是當(dāng)下。新專輯《SUPERCHARGED》就是證明——我們要讓00后知道，叛逆不是年齡，是態(tài)度。"
當(dāng)被問及如何保持創(chuàng)作激情，Noodles直視鏡頭："活一天，就燒一天。Dexter（主唱）有分子生物學(xué)博士學(xué)位，我教吉他教了三十年，但我們站上舞臺，還是那個在車庫排練的少年。你看臺下，16歲和60歲的人一起pogo（沖撞），這就是我們要的——世代隔閡？不存在的。"

專訪尾聲，Noodles指著鐵塔說："明天我們在La Défense Arena，四萬人。但今天在這里，和你，和這個下午，同樣重要。朋克就是抓住每一個當(dāng)下，燒盡每一秒。"
這段對話被The Offspring官方Instagram轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)，配文"Paris afternoon with our friend from UN"，獲贊13.6萬。

從巴黎到紐約：打破邊界的同一種語言
樂團(tuán)自1994年現(xiàn)象級專輯《Smash》全球銷量破2000萬以來，《Come Out and Play》《The Kids Aren't Alright》已成跨世代叛逆符號。三十年后，他們以《SUPERCHARGED》續(xù)航，2026冬季巡演票房口碑雙爆，TikTok上#TheOffspring話題播放量破十億——證明朋克精神從未過時。

王國權(quán)觀看巡演視頻時，憶起巴黎文化之旅：先受宋慶齡干女兒、法籍華人著名女畫家高醇芳（法中文化協(xié)會主席）邀請，出席塞努齊博物館"亞洲之春"畫展開幕式；又受法國愛心團(tuán)、法華工商聯(lián)合會、外籍兵團(tuán)退伍華人協(xié)會邀請，參與一戰(zhàn)停戰(zhàn)日紀(jì)念——儀仗隊之前、僑界隊伍之后，昂首走過凱旋門；法國總統(tǒng)馬克龍亦出席了該系列活動，王國權(quán)與法國五星上將布魯諾·達(dá)里（前外籍軍團(tuán)指揮官）和讓·穆蘭將軍（外籍軍團(tuán)前司令、現(xiàn)外籍軍人總會主席）共話中法友誼。

"CSW70討論的是打破性別偏見、為邊緣群體發(fā)聲，The Offspring唱的是打破世代隔閡、為叛逆者正名——"王國權(quán)總結(jié)，"從埃菲爾鐵塔到聯(lián)合國總部，從Noodles的吉他到CSW70的議程，同一種精神：不向規(guī)則低頭，不為歲月設(shè)限，生一日，熾一日。"

UN Headquarters, New York: CSW70 Concludes, International Host Wang Guoquan-Prince John on The Offspring's Punk Spirit — "Rebellion Isn't About Age, It's About Attitude"

New York, March 19, 2026 — The 70th Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) concluded today. Wang Guoquan-Prince John, international host and UN official representative who participated throughout the ten-day session (March 9-19), sat alongside the Samoan delegate when an Argentine representative excitedly passed him her phone. On screen: explosive footage from American punk rock legends The Offspring's Square Garden in New York, TD Garden in Boston, and Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia all sold out in seconds, with scalped tickets surging to triple face value. From Gen Z kids to gray-haired veterans, the entire arena rose as one to sing "Self Esteem," lights and sweat colliding to resurrect the golden atmosphere of the nineties.
"Do you know this band? They're absolutely on fire right now!" the Argentine delegate asked.
Wang Guoquan-Prince John smiled calmly: "Old friends. I interviewed them in Paris last year."
Interview Beneath the Eiffel Tower
On the afternoon of November 7, 2025 — the day before The Offspring's concert at Paris's largest indoor arena, La Défense Arena — Wang Guoquan-Prince John conducted an exclusive interview with guitarist Noodles on the Champ de Mars lawn across from the Eiffel Tower. The band's new album SUPERCHARGED had just dropped, with the global tour poised to launch.
Noodles wore his signature street attire — gold chain, ball cap, sunglasses — creating a striking visual contrast against the iron tower backdrop. Speaking on the band's thirty-year longevity, he said: "Smash made us famous overnight in 1994, but punk isn't nostalgia — it's now. SUPERCHARGED proves it. We want Gen Z to know: rebellion isn't about age, it's about attitude."
When asked how he maintains creative passion, Noodles looked straight into the camera: "You burn for every day you're alive. Dexter has a PhD in molecular biology, I've taught guitar for thirty years, but when we hit that stage, we're still those kids rehearsing in a garage. Look at the crowd — 16 and 60 pogoing together. That's what we want. Generational gap? Doesn't exist."
As the interview concluded, Noodles pointed at the tower: "Tomorrow we play La Défense Arena, forty thousand people. But right here, with you, this afternoon — equally important. Punk is seizing every moment, burning every second."
The exchange was reposted by The Offspring's official Instagram with the caption "Paris afternoon with our friend from UN," garnering 136,000 likes.
From Paris to New York: The Same Language of Breaking Boundaries
Since their 1994 phenomenon Smash shattered global sales records with over 20 million copies, tracks like "Come Out and Play" and "The Kids Aren't Alright" have become cross-generational anthems of rebellion. Three decades later, fueled by SUPERCHARGED, their 2026 winter tour has exploded at the box office and across social media — the #TheOffspring hashtag has surpassed one billion views on TikTok — proving that punk spirit never expires.
Watching the tour footage, Wang Guoquan-Prince John recalled his Parisian cultural odyssey: first, an invitation from Gao Chunfang — French-Chinese painter, adopted daughter of Soong Ching-ling, and President of the France-China Cultural Association — to the opening of the "Spring of Asia" exhibition at the Musée Cernuschi; then, participation in France's WWI Armistice Day commemoration, invited by France Benevolence Group, France-China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the French Foreign Legion Veterans Chinese Association. Beneath the Arc de Triomphe, he marched with head held high — positioned before the honor guard, behind the overseas Chinese contingent. French President Emmanuel Macron also attended the series of commemorative events, where Wang Guoquan-Prince John exchanged views on China-France friendship with French five-star General Bruno Dary (former Foreign Legion commander) and General Jean Maurin (former Foreign Legion commander, now President of the Foreign Veterans Association).
"CSW70 discusses breaking gender biases and giving voice to marginalized groups; The Offspring sings about breaking generational barriers and legitimizing rebellion — " Wang Guoquan-Prince John concluded. "From the Eiffel Tower to UN Headquarters, from Noodles's guitar to the CSW70 agenda, the same spirit: bow to no rules, yield to no age, and burn bright for every day you live."
