The Choice: An Austrian journalist and educator who told China's story to the world

Born in Austria, Ruth F. Weiss arrived in Shanghai in 1933 as a correspondent for a Vienna newspaper, embarking on a six-month study tour of China. When the tour came to an end, she decided to remain in the country. With the help of a friend, she secured a new job. It was also around this time that she adopted her Chinese name, Wei Lushi. In Shanghai, influenced by Soong Ching Ling, Agnes Smedley, Rewi Alley and others, Wei gradually developed a deeper understanding of the Chinese revolution and resolved to devote her life to China's revolutionary cause and nation-building. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
