Born in 1976, Chai Jing is an award-winning reporter and television host in China. While working at CCTV from 2001, she gained recognition covering the SARS epidemic in 2003. Her reporting on domestic violence in China contributed to the enactment of groundbreaking anti-domestic violence legislation in 2005. In the same year, Chai released "In the Name of Life," an interview with members of China's LGBT+ population that marked the first open appearance of queer people in Chinese media. In 2007, she won the National Green People Award for her coverage of pollution in her hometown. Seeing has sold over 5 million copies since its Chinese publication in 2012. In 2015, Chai Jing was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people, and one of the top 100 global thinkers by Foreign Policy.
