What began as a summer volunteer gig at the 1995 UN Women’s Conference has blossomed into a three-decade legacy for CGTN host Tian Wei. This week, she returned to Beijing – not as a wide-eyed helper, but as a leading journalist covering the 2025 Global Women’s Summit. Talk about full-circle moments! 🎯
📆 1995 vs. 2025: Back when dial-up internet ruled, Tian first witnessed the power of women’s voices during heated debates about equality. Fast-forward to today’s AI-driven world, where she’s moderating panels about digital inclusion and climate leadership. "That spark I felt at 25?" she tells us. "It’s now a bonfire carried by millions of Chinese women." 🔥
🌱 The Growth: Tian’s career mirrors China’s evolving gender landscape – from fighting stereotypes about "women’s roles" in the 90s to celebrating record-breaking female STEM graduates in 2025. Her secret? "Real change needs both microphones and listening ears," she laughs, adjusting her iconic red-framed glasses.
💡 Why It Matters: As over 5,000 delegates debate workplace equity at the summit, Tian’s team is livestreaming discussions to Gen-Z viewers via Douyin. Because in 2025, women’s empowerment isn’t just boardroom talk – it’s trending content. 🚀
