My Story
Annie was born in Beijing, China. During her high school years, she had been chosen to become a work-study reporter, publishing many articles that were showcased in newspapers and magazines. Simultaneously, Annie served as the host of a well-known Beijing Radio Station program known as "Youth Campus". She carried the role of program director and voiceover position in BTV and CCTV. Her media representation greatly impacted her life, but everyone needs a hobby to compensate for their hard-working mindset. For Annie, this was creating a band consisting of four high school students including her called the"Birds of Paradise." She created original songs reflecting on the life of teenagers, hoping to influence and impact with the sound of her music.
In 1996, Annie was invited by the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation to participate in a visit to the west of China's Fujian Province to ensure that poverty situations in various areas including visits to Xiamen, LongYan, Liangcheng, and other locations in Fujian were reported truthfully to the many supporting media. China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) (Chinese: 中国扶贫基金会) is a nongovernmental charitable organization in Beijing, China, registered under the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs in 1989 and professionally supervised by the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development. To date CFPA has raised total funds and materials worth RMB 34 billion (est. USD 5.7 billion) and delivered aid and assistance in 33 million individual cases. This event attracted attention from all levels of society and received various aid and donations. It has provided long-term help to people in poor areas, especially out-of-school children.
Wanting to further expand her horizons, Annie decided to study overseas in the year 2000. She built on her educational prowess by studying in Singapore, majoring in mass media. Annie came to USA in 2003 and founded the nonprofit organization named ANC ESCO in 2008. She began to build a platform that supported young people. She organized highly successful student study exchange programs that gained the interest of the US Embassy. In 5 years, Annie has expanded the ANC platform to provide more variety of programs, such as studying abroad, college planning, academic tutoring, volunteer alliances, Students Athlete Programs, and Sports program. She has supported and continues to support youth around the world, providing them with a platform that supports them to communicate and explore without borders.
