No.1 Yang Lan-- a combination of beauty and wisdom

Yang Lan, a famous TV hostess and famous entrepreneur, is regarded as an incarnation of wisdom and beauty. In numerous Chinese men’s eyes, she is a perfect woman that every man desires. She was born in Beijing in 1968, obtained his master’s degree at Columbia University in USA. At the age of 12, she won the position of the host of the Zhang Da Zong Yi show on CCTV. The show was a prime-time-Saturday celeb quiz and talk show, a top-rated TV program, with an audience of 220 million.

Despite her celebrity, Yang Lan quit the show after four years to go to New York where she spent two years earning a master's degree at Columbia University's School of International & Public Affairs.

Yang's TV skills are matched by a keen mind for business. In 1999, with her husband, Bruno Wu Zheng, she started her own media company, Sun Television Cyber networks (Sun TV). Traded on the Hong Kong stock exchange since last April, Sun TV was valued at $179 million on Nov. 3. Yang owns 35%, worth $63 million.

Yang's mother was an engineer, and her father taught English literature at Beijing Foreign Studies University and sometimes served as the official translator for former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai.

Yang Lan was appointed one of the image ambassadors of Beijing in its 2008 bid in January, joining Deng Yaping and two other Chinese women to be so honored: Gong Li, the film actress, and Sang Lan, the gymnast who was paralyzed in 1998 as she represented China at the Goodwill Game in the United States.

Yang Lan is a role model. She seems to be successful in every thing: a successful career and a happy family ( a good husband). Almost all Chinese women envy Miss Yang Lan.
