As a Chinese American, it honestly made me emotional seeing someone who looks like me succeed at the highest levels and turn their dreams into reality. Sometimes it feels daunting when I dream about the magnitude of success that I want to achieve, knowing that I don't come from wealth or have connections to rely on. However, stories like Zhang Xin's give me hope that as long as I remain tenacious and unrelenting in the face of hardship, I too can achieve anything I want in this life.

Zhang Xin is so inspiring!!! She is another kind of Zaha Hadid in Asia. I've lived in Asia Shanghai - Hong Kong for 5years. I have learned so much in business in China.So much going on, many inspiring people, great ideas,hard working people and funny. How fast is the evolution? I guess culture in China is still "Everyone is equal but everything is not grey no longer Now it's colorful and red and bright light " 😊 ... My First time in China was in Shanghai and Beijing Expo better city better life. My Grandfather told the most inspiring things about Chinese to us as tough cuz they could not be colonized, remember that and hardworking the people who makes from the smallest thing such as srew device and needles 'till manufacturing cars. And now even all materials to build all the cityskape and skylines around the world. She is smart and full of creativity, strong but the greatest thing is she represent her country to the world, She had not forgotten who she is and where she came from. Great woman!

great interview! answered many of the questions i had - after i found myself watching a far less comprehensive video (on another channel) which made me aware of her existence...well done! and wondering if anyone lives in those beautiful homes her company built in that Great Wall mountain side (hope so!)..or are they just used as 'museum pieces' and open for tours..i mean i don't know if that location is near any towns or cities..or if any part of the Great Wall is near any cities at all..but seems a waste of beautiful home spaces - which could at least be used as holiday facilities..maybe some kind of travel demographics could be invited to stay short-term: school groups, the hostelling communities (all ages), architecture student groups, medical patient groups (who are medically strong enough to be in a remote (?) location like that..where a basic medical support team would be able to help them there, if needed). just something where it fosters healing and/or cultural exchange & understandings..that would be cool. 👍👍
