Cultural Outreach: Reaching Hundreds of Millions Overseas from the Start

One day in 2002, a star with the surname Yao, struggling after his recent arrival in the NBA, stood on a street in Houston and shouted:

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a poor young man!"

But what he got in response was a chorus of passersby speaking Chinese: "Young man, that line's old news! These days, we say, 'This fellow is truly terrifying!'"

"No, no, no! Beneath the Buddha's wrath, no demon can remain. If Heaven envies me, then even Heaven can be destroyed!!"

Nobody could have imagined that an entire country would change because of one young man of Chinese descent!

The whole nation went crazy learning Chinese. People clamored for updates to a certain novel.

Taoism became a popular religion around the world.

No, no, no. Lin Nian said these were only the beginning...
