Wang Chonggang, 39, is Vice Executive Chief of the Hebei Daily website. Originally from Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province, he completed not one but two majors when at university in Gansu Province.
''I'm well satisfied with my career for it is better than average,'' said Wang who is married with a six-year-old daughter.
He has enjoyed foreign music, especially the classical works of Beethoven and Mozart since high school. He likes swimming and karaoke. Like many successful Chinese citizens today, he has two residences, a house and also an apartment in Beijing.
"My company receives no financial support from the government. I'm worried about our future since there is keen competition among newspapers."
"I am considering sending my daughter abroad to study, but it will be her decision and I won't force her to go. My future doesn't matter so much. What matters is the future of my daughter. I hope she might marry a great man."
"Once I had access to Internet I found myself reading fewer books and now I don't have the patience to read books."
"I have to attend many dinner parties, but I try my best to be home for supper."
"The last time I went to the cinema was nearly three years ago. The movie was Jasmine, featuring Zhang Ziyi. It was not a blockbuster. Normally, we will rent a DVD to watch a movie."
"I choose foreign brand names when buying cameras and cell phones because of the better quality. Mostly I go for foreign brands except when buying food."
Wang is a Party member. He says that the biggest difference between a Communist Party member and a non-Communist Party member shows up when the going gets tough. A Party member will always be found in the front line.
"The 17th National Congress of the CPC is a big event for our country and it will map out the direction of our future development. With President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao in power we have a government that can be trusted. We still need to make substantive changes to our political system. For example in terms of democracy, the voice of the public can still hardly be heard, and there are too few opportunities for them to take part in decision-making."
"I believe in communism, so I joined the Communist Party. It is the only Party that can solve China's problems though it does have some shortcomings itself."
