Chien-Ming Wang, #57, Time Magazine's Top 100 of the Year

"Whenever he pitches, whether it's a live telecast or a rerun, Taiwan ditches its political woes and personal cares to huddle in the most unlikely places—from bars to beauty parlors to boardrooms—to cheer Chien-Ming. No matter that the fan shouting alongside is mandarin or mendicant, from the mainland or local born, a great-great-grandma with bound feet or a bare-bottomed tot, the voices are one."

• Wow. Congratulations to Chien-Ming Wang and thanks to those who allowed him to become who he is.
