In the summer of 1995, a young Tian Wei flew to Beijing, on the Chinese mainland, to volunteer at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women. 🎤 It was there she felt the spark – a tiny seed of equality, respect and strength taking root in her heart.
Fast forward 30 years, and that seed has grown into a beacon. Now a respected journalist and CGTN host, Tian Wei returns to Beijing, on the Chinese mainland, ready to share stories and insights at the Global Women's Summit. 🌟
Back in '95, Tian Wei worked alongside experts, activists and world leaders, all driven by a vision of gender equality. It was the first time she truly heard her voice – a call to amplify women's stories and drive real change.
Today, she has moved from the wings to center stage, guiding conversations on equality, innovation and leadership. Her journey from volunteer to host mirrors a shift in China's media landscape: from observer to storyteller, from spectator to shaper of narratives.
Looking back, Tian Wei describes her return as surreal. The seed she planted three decades ago has blossomed into a movement powered by women across the Chinese mainland and beyond. For young changemakers everywhere, her path shows that active involvement can lead to leading the conversation tomorrow. 🌍✨
