Communication University of China in 1995, where she majored in broadcasting and graduated in 1999. Upon graduation, she declined a guaranteed postgraduate placement at the university and instead began her career at

Evening News for four years. In 2003, she joined CCTV, where she anchored the morning show
First Time between 2003 and 2009. She was also one of the hosts of the
CCTV New Year's Gala in 2010. From August 8, 2011, to April 28, 2020, she co-anchored
Xinwen Lianbo, China's most prominent news program, before disappearing from public view, reportedly due to an investigation into her connections with disgraced official

Douyin, and began working as a part-time instructor at a training academy specializing in preparing high school students for China's university entrance exams in broadcasting and performing arts. In June of that year, CCTV removed her name from its list of anchors. In 2024, she launched accounts on
Bilibili and WeChat Video. ==Works==
