(Yang Lan)
The refeshing new image of China's sophisticated and talented young generation. Yang Lan, China's most popular TV hostess. A banana like me cannot read Chinese, but the internet has it all. Yang Lan, a businesswoman and co-owner with her husband of Sun Television Cybernetworks in Shanghai, speaks impeccable English. And look at her flawless facial complexion! What a lady!
Yang Lan, a journalist and entrepreneur who's been called "the
Oprah of China," offers insight into the next generation of young Chinese
citizens -- urban, connected (via microblogs) and alert to injustice.
Yang Lan’s rise to stardom in China has drawn comparisons to
Oprah Winfrey’s success in the US. It’s easy to see why: Yang is a self-made
entrepreneur and the most powerful woman in the Chinese media. As chair of Sun
Media Investment Holdings, a business empire she built with her husband, Yang is
a pioneer of open communication.
Yang started her journalism career by establishing the first
current-events TV program in China. She created and hosted many other
groundbreaking shows, starting with the chatfest Yang Lan One on One.
The popular Her Village, which now includes an online magazine and
website, brings together China’s largest community of professional women (more
than 200 million people a month).
Yang, who served as an ambassador for the 2008 Olympic Games
in Beijing, wields her influence for philanthropic endeavors, too. She founded
the Sun Culture Foundation in 2005 to raise awareness about poverty and to
promote cross-cultural communication.
"Yang stands out as a role model for women who want to achieve across the industry spectrum in an increasingly global society."

When someone sent me this video, I thought I might spend a few minutes watching it, given it's length of 18 minutes. But once I saw her face and heard her voice and perfect English diction, I forgot about the time, although it was past midnight.
Don't believe me?
I couldn't embed the Ted Video here. So here is the link : CLICKHERE
