I saw this guy getting heckled by Rob Riggle on the Daily Show. Apparently he is the idyllic face of China's economics scene and host of all things financial on Chinese CCTV. Okay that's great...but I couldn't really understand what I was seeing. Who is this guy? A Google search on his name returned only 7,460 results. That's tiny. (my own name returns around 479,000)
How old is he, maybe 25? He looks around my age, like a kid. In fact, he faintly resembles one of the chumps sitting next to me in econ class taking notes with a ThinkPad. (They're just too good for paper) I found his personal webpage on CCTV.com particularly curious, containing a list of his "Unforgettable Moments", which include little blurbs on everything from a personal dislike of calculus to his struggle to be a good Karaoke singer. And he's the Bob Brinker of China? Does Bob Brinker have a webpage with a poetic list of his hopes/dreams/aspirations? I hope not. Man, who is this guy?

I actually like this guy, Chenggang, and I think I don't agree with you on something. Sorry.
If you want to ask who he is, the answer is so simple!He is a tv reporter.
As for the list you found in his personal webpage,don't you see that the list is just a very very small part of the webpage?Everyone is free to write whatever they want in their personal space and you can't restrict people's freedom and individual rights! Well, I guess it's just because you don't understand Chinese and you don't understand the rest of the webpage. Chinese people have an old saying "if you know something, then you know it; if you don't know something exactly, then you just don't know it. Don't act like you know it". If you don't know details and exact things about a person or a thing, then just don't bother yourself talking about it.
He is now just over 30 years old, and he became one of the yongest Yale University World Fellows in his twenties.Maybe he's excellent, maybe he's not excellent. But it's none of your business, right? He is not a superstar like Sharon Stone or Britney Spears, he doesn't need people to gossip about his age.
Well,why did you try to judge a person by the Google search result? Isn't it funny? Is FAME really so important to you? It's a little...sorry, but really a little ridiculous. Not everyone is like you, not everyone wants to be very very famous on the internet, not everyone likes fame so much.
You know, in China it may to customary to try to shut people up with clever little proverbs or quotations by Confucius, but in the free world, people are free to discuss the merits of public figures, including mews reporters and high ranking communist party officials.
