[07:05.27]She is one of China's fifty most successful business leaders
[07:11.62]and she has been described as being "bigger than Oprah".
[07:16.48]Well known to one billion viewers,
[07:20.74]Yang Lan is among China's most popular TV personalities.
[07:26.80]Born in Beijing in 1968,
[07:31.37]Yang Lan began her career as the host for the popular "Zheng Da TV show".
[07:38.74]She was only 21 at the time
[07:42.79]and had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University.
[07:48.53]Becoming the host of a show with an audience of 200 million
[07:54.41]at such a young age was a big challenge,
[08:00.16]but Yang Lan was ready for it and quickly became popular.
[08:06.22]Many of us would probably have stayed on
[08:10.66]to enjoy the fame and money that come with being a TV star,
[08:16.09]but Yang Lan had more important plans.
[08:20.92]She left the show after four years and went to New York City
[08:26.85]to get a Master's degree at Columbia University.
[08:31.71]Her experience abroad inspired her
[08:36.47]and she made up her mind to create a new kind of TV station for Chinese viewers.
[08:44.51]When Yang Lan returned to China,she decided to develop her interest in business.
[08:51.04]Together with her husband,she started her own media company,Sun Media.
[08:58.02]When Yang Lan grew up,her family did not have a television.
[09:03.76]children in her neighbourhood
[09:07.13]would sit in front of a small black and white TV
[09:12.18]owned by one of the other families in her building.
[09:16.85]TV was a new thing at the time,
[09:21.29]but Yang Lan thought that the powerful medium could be used in a different way.
[09:28.16]She wanted to make shows that were both entertaining and educational.
[09:34.82]When she was studying abroad, she produced a feature show called "Horizon".
[09:42.09]The show introduced American popular culture to Chinese viewers.
[09:48.43]Viewers liked the first season of "Horizon",
[09:53.11]but Yang Lan wanted to do something more serious and meaningful.
[09:58.86]The following year,she began interviewing important people,
[10:04.32]such as Dr Henry Kissinger,and discussing social issues.
[10:10.87]Her viewers were pleased and the show became even more popular.
[10:16.83]She later developed "Yang Lan One on One",
[10:21.79]having interviewed more than 300 opinion leaders around the world.
[10:28.04]Despite the incredible success of her media company,
[10:33.18]she has not forgotten what made her want to be a journalist in the first place.
[10:40.44]One of Yang Lan's goals is to create a distinctly Chinese show
[10:46.50]that can act as a positive force in real life.
[10:51.47]Chinese people today,Yang Lan notes,
[10:56.14]want to watch shows that deal with problems they may experience in their own life,
[11:02.80]such as how to fit in the fast-changing society.
[11:08.37]Her media company's goal,she says,
[11:12.81]is to educate through entertainment,and to illuminate through information.
