As Pakistan gears up to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, there’s one question on everyone’s mind: will India cross the border to compete? Legendary pacer Wasim Akram certainly hopes so, and he’s not alone.

Cricket fans in both countries are eagerly waiting to see if the Indian team will finally make their way to Pakistan, a trip they haven’t made since the Asia Cup in 2008. The upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, set for the February-March window, is already making headlines. However, with India’s participation still uncertain, tensions are high.

Reports from Indian media suggest that the BCCI is seeking government approval before making any commitments about the tour. But here’s the twist—Akram has been picking up on some positive vibes, and he’s hopeful.

What’s Keeping India Away?

Due to long-standing political tensions, India hasn’t played in Pakistan for over 15 years, though Pakistan has crossed the border to compete in India four times since then, including the recent ICC World Cup 2023. This back-and-forth, or rather lack thereof, has left fans on both sides hungry for a proper face-off on Pakistan’s home turf.

Akram, speaking during an online press conference from Melbourne, expressed his optimism. He believes that things might just work out, saying, “I think whatever I’m reading, there are positive vibes from the Indian government and the BCCI.”

The legendary bowler even mentioned hearing that India might play all its games in Lahore if they do decide to participate. “I’m all for it, as long as India is comfortable,” he added, with the assurance that Pakistani hospitality would be at its finest.

Why It Matters to Wasim Akram?

For Akram, this potential visit means more than just a sporting event. It’s about reigniting a historic rivalry and building connections across borders. Akram enthusiastically welcomed Indian players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav to Pakistan, noting that these stars have massive fan followings in Pakistan.

“The young cricket fans adore them,” he said, hinting at the admiration that Pakistani fans have for Indian cricket heroes. Akram’s words echo the sentiments of many Pakistanis. Fans here are eager to see Indian players in action, not just on TV screens but live on Pakistani soil.

PCB’s Take on the Matter

It’s not just Akram who’s feeling optimistic. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi recently assured fans that all eight teams, including India, would participate in the Champions Trophy 2025.

In a casual interaction with the media in Karachi, Naqvi said, “Do not worry, all teams will come to Pakistan to play Champions Trophy.” His confidence signals the PCB’s dedication to making this tournament a success.

The ball is in India’s court. If the BCCI gets the green light from their government, we might just see a historic return. If that happens, Pakistan promises to roll out the red carpet with unparalleled hospitality. While logistics are a work in progress, Akram’s words offer a glimmer of hope.

‘Even One Win Would Be A Big Deal’: Wasim Akram On Pakistan’s Tour Of Australia

As Pakistan prepares to kick off its ODI series against Australia on November 4, there’s a new leader at the helm—Mohammad Rizwan. Replacing Babar Azam, who decided to step down from the captaincy to focus on his batting, Rizwan is ready to lead Pakistan in white-ball cricket.

But is he ready for the huge challenge Australia brings to the table, especially on their home soil? Legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram believes Rizwan has the potential, but it won’t be an easy ride.

Rizwan’s Journey to Captaincy

Rizwan, who debuted in 2015, is no stranger to the pressures of international cricket. His experience spans 74 ODIs and 102 T20Is, with impressive stats including 5,401 runs and four centuries.

On November 4 in Melbourne, Rizwan will become Pakistan’s 31st ODI captain, and just ten days later, he’ll lead Pakistan in T20s, marking his place as the 12th T20I captain in the team’s history.

For Rizwan, this new role is a mix of excitement and responsibility. Wasim Akram, who spoke about the upcoming series at an online press conference in Melbourne, praised Rizwan’s leadership qualities.

“He’s been captaining all his life, leading Multan Sultans in the PSL to one trophy and two finals,” Akram noted. “When it comes to leadership, he’s a seasoned campaigner.”

A Steep Learning Curve Awaits

But experience alone won’t make this an easy task. Playing against Australia on their turf is an enormous challenge. As Akram put it, “It’s his first tour [as captain], and a difficult one. Beating Australia in Australia, especially in ODI cricket, is no easy feat.”

Australia is known for its aggressive style and home advantage, which they rarely let slip. Akram was clear that in ODI cricket, Australia is as tough as they come.

He hinted that T20Is might be a different ball game with shorter, more unpredictable matches, but the three-match ODI series will be a true test of Rizwan’s leadership.

Wasim Akram’s Advice

Wasim Akram had some words of advice for Rizwan and the team. He urged them to keep their heads down and focus on playing quality cricket. According to Akram, winning even one of the ODIs would be an accomplishment.

“Winning even one ODI out of three in Australia would be a big deal,” he said. It’s not just about victory; it’s about showing grit and determination in some of the most challenging conditions.

Minal Khan’s Motherhood Journey: Sacrifices, Surprises and Joy

By

Oct 31, 2024

Young Pakistani actress Minal Khan recently opened up about her journey on motherhood in a deep conversation with journalist Amna Isani. Known for her acclaimed roles on television, Minal took a significant hiatus from the entertainment industry, stepping back to embrace the new phase of her life as a mother. In the podcast, Minal shared her personal experiences, the challenges she faced, and the responsibilities she’s embraced as a mother.

Stepping into Motherhood: Minal Khan’s Journey

Minal candidly spoke with Amna Isani about her journey into motherhood, when she spoke of how the fundamental shift brought in by motherhood makes one ponder, “I think motherhood comes with a lot of responsibilities.” She continues; “As a mother, you have to leave many things that you would like for yourself, and you have to be totally for your baby.” Minal began talking about the first few weeks of her baby’s life, how fragile newborn babies are, and how mothers automatically shift their priorities towards their children. The perspective on life changes with the baby, they become the central part of one’s life, everything is about them.

A Surprising yet Beautiful, Change in Plans

“It was an unexpected baby, but a precious one, of course,” said Minal. “I wanted to have a family; this was always my plan, yet I never really planned for a baby. But I did want to have a family. I didn’t want to wait till my thirties for this chapter in my life. I wanted to see the best of both worlds at a young age. My career, family and contentment.” she described. In that sense, this attitudinal balance is part of what made her numerous fans love her simply because she has been straight and ambitious about wanting both personal and professional fulfilment.

Facing the Challenges: Pregnancy to Postpartum Period

Minal said the pregnancy period was smooth and easy, but she readily admitted that the post-partum period was not always easy. She shared a few of her problems dealing with postpartum health, saying, “It was tough after my pregnancy because I fell sick.” There’s also mom guilt—that feeling of guilt whenever you leave your child to do something else. Minal’s openness with what happened physically as well as emotionally during postpartum recovery made her emphasize a supportive environment. She did admit that she received much emotional support from her family and friends, which made things less arduous for her, but she knew such was not the case for every young mother.

Building a New Home Life with Her Partner

Minal also shared how she chose to return to her husband’s house after delivery instead of going back to her mother’s, as is the norm in most Asian households. She wanted him to be there for the child and to experience with her the difficulties she was facing. “I wanted to share this experience with him, to let him see what I was experiencing, and to help him appreciate the realities of being a mom,” she said. Minal said, “Though they are always around, I do everything on my own about child care.”

A Word to Young Mothers

Minal Khan advises new moms and pregnant women that motherhood is very fulfilling but calls for sacrificing many things for little time. She mused over how she’s learned to balance career ambition with personal life. The child will come first, but she is passionate about returning to work at the right time. To a young mother, she’d say: “Take it one day at a time. Know that it’s okay to ask for help and to give yourself grace as you grow with your child.”

It’s Minal’s insight into motherhood that has resonated with everyone who has felt the glamour but forgotten it in the very real moment of depth, resilience, and love that characterizes each mother’s journey.

Meta Is reportedly Working On An AI-Powered Search Engine

By

Oct 31, 2024

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, is looking into moving into the AI search space, as Google continues its domination in this area. The company is developing the search engine for its own platforms and is focussing on building AI features on the Meta platforms using ‘Meta AI.’ This development may see a shift in how people find things on social media and messaging platforms and put Meta more seriously against Google and OpenAI’s ChatGPT in terms of traffic from search.

Moving Away from Reliance on Google and Bing

At present, Meta AI’s search function is still heavily dependent on Google Search and Microsoft’s Bing to ensure updated information on news, sports, and stocks. According to reports, it has taken steps to become self-sufficient, including making a Reuters deal to obtain news content directly for Meta AI. If it works, then Meta would be able to reduce its dependence on other tech companies because, with its independent search, access to the information would be directly streamlined through its apps.

Meta’s AI search ambitions come in the wake of greater change in user behaviour in which traditional search engines are failing to catch up with this shift. Generative AI ChatGPT and newer tools such as Perplexity are great examples of such platforms, which attract users in search of more interactive and insightful answers than Google or Bing would typically be able to offer. Others have been expressing discontent with the current Meta AI search bar that can be embedded across Meta platforms but cannot be disabled. Despite these criticisms, the alleged search engine project by Meta has reportedly been under-way for months, even with the company indexing its sites and building out databases.

Customising Search for Meta’s Ecosystem

It might bring to Meta-powered search unique functionalities suited to user experience on the platform. In fact, by having direct control over the search engine’s data sources, Meta would be able to create a more customised interface for users by using advanced AI and wide user data for a more relevant experience in search. However, this might also face resistance because publishers who are wary of web crawlers have blocked Meta’s web crawler already.

Entering into the search engine market is a change that Meta is introducing to the world, portraying ever-increasing battles among all tech giants. The well-set launch of an AI-driven search engine by Meta will redefine the balance on search, challenge the position quo of the established, and redefine how users find and interact with information all on their favourite social platforms.

“He’s a Smart Cricketer”: Shoaib Malik Backs Mohammad Rizwan As Captain

By

Oct 31, 2024

shoaib-malik-backs-mohammad-rizwan-as-captain

Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has welcomed the appointment of Mohammad Rizwan as the national white-ball captain. And it’s safe to say Malik is more than just supportive—he’s downright thrilled.

“I’m pleased that Mohammad Rizwan has become the captain of the cricket team,” Malik said with a smile in a recent media talk in Riyadh. “He is a smart cricketer.”

Rizwan has been given the captaincy for both ODI and T20 formats, while Agha Salman is set to support him as vice-captain. But what exactly does Malik see in Rizwan that has him so optimistic?

Mohammad Rizwan: A Captain with a Winning Track Record

Rizwan isn’t new to leadership. He’s proven himself with strong performances as captain in various domestic formats and franchise leagues, showcasing a knack for strategy and team management.

Malik sees this as a massive asset for the national team, and he believes Rizwan has all it takes to bring this same success to Pakistan’s ODI and T20 sides. For Malik, Rizwan’s intelligence on the field is key.

“He is a smart cricketer,” he emphasized. Malik’s confidence in Rizwan isn’t just based on talent but on a mix of resilience, intelligence, and experience—qualities Rizwan has shown time and again.

The Value of Failure and the Trap of Success

In a refreshing take, Malik also shared some words of wisdom that might just become Rizwan’s mantra. He reminded Rizwan (and all of us, really) that failure teaches more than success ever could.

Success can be a great feeling, but it can also breed complacency. Malik’s message to Rizwan was clear: embrace both the victories and the inevitable setbacks.

“I pray for his success,” Malik said, “but remember, failure teaches you more, while success can lead to complacency.” Wise words from someone who’s been through the highs and lows of the game.

Babar Azam Needs to Show He’s the Next Sir Viv Richards: Ramiz Raja

By

-

Oct 31, 2024

ramiz-raja-advice-to-babar-azam-stay-away-from-social-media

Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman and ex-Test cricketer Ramiz Raja recently put Babar Azam under the spotlight with a high-stakes challenge. In Raja’s eyes, Babar has the raw potential to reach the heights of the legendary Sir Vivian Richards. That’s a tall order, especially in Test cricket, but the question is: can Babar live up to it?

The Vivian Richards Comparison

It’s not every day that a batsman is compared to someone as iconic as Sir Vivian Richards. Known for his commanding presence, Richards had this uncanny ability to step up his game when it mattered the most.

Raja wants Babar to embody that same fire and grit, particularly in the red-ball format. “Babar has to prove with his temperament that he is Vivian Richards,” Ramiz stated on his YouTube channel.

“Bigger the contest, bigger the innings Richards used to play.” That’s a massive endorsement—but it also highlights where Raja feels Babar could elevate his game: in Test cricket.

Babar’s Red-Ball Struggles

While Babar’s white-ball stats are impressive (he averages over 50 in both T20Is and ODIs), Test cricket has been more challenging lately. Babar hasn’t scored a half-century in red-ball cricket since 2022, which is surprising for someone of his calibre.

Recently, he was even dropped from the last two Tests in the series against England, following a series of lacklustre performances. As of now, Babar’s Test average sits at 43.92—a decent number, but far from legendary.

Chasing A Record

Currently, Babar is on tour in Australia for the ODI and T20I series, and there’s another big milestone within his reach. He’s just 271 runs shy of 6,000 ODI runs, which puts him on the brink of overtaking Hashim Amla as the fastest player to reach that landmark.

Amla achieved it in 123 innings, while Babar, with 5,729 runs in 114 innings, has a solid chance to beat that record. If he pulls this off, it will only bolster his legacy in white-ball cricket. But for Raja, it seems that Babar’s ultimate validation will come from success in Test cricket.

Fakhar Zaman: Will He Return To The Team?

fakhar-zaman-breaks-ties-with-saya-after-babar-azam-tweet-could-fakhar-zaman-be-pakistan-white-ball-captain

Fakhar Zaman has found himself in the headlines again, but not for his signature blazing shots or those stunning sixes. This time, it’s a mix of social media drama, his exclusion from the team and fitness issues. So, what has exactly happened?

The Social Media Slip and its Aftermath

It all started when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to drop Babar Azam from the squad after a tough loss to England in the first Test. Fakhar Zaman didn’t hold back his thoughts and took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his support for Babar.

A post in favour of a teammate might sound harmless, but in the PCB’s eyes, Fakhar’s tweet went against the board’s code of conduct. Soon after, PCB slapped Fakhar with a show-cause notice.

Not only that, he was removed from the central contract list. To make things even harder, he was dropped from upcoming tours to Australia and Zimbabwe.

But as they say, time heals wounds—or at least smooth them over. New reports now suggest that the PCB may have softened its stance. Fakhar recently submitted his response to the PCB’s notice, and it seems his clarification hit the right notes with the board.

Rumour has it that progress could be made on his situation in the coming days, and his exile from the national team might just be temporary.

Support from Mohammad Rizwan

Amid all the drama, there’s one voice that’s been vocal about bringing Fakhar back—newly appointed white-ball skipper Mohammad Rizwan. Rizwan reportedly urged the PCB to reconsider, emphasising Fakhar’s value to the team.

Rizwan’s support hasn’t gone unnoticed, adding weight to the argument that Fakhar’s suspension might be a tad bit harsh. And if you’ve heard the whispers about Fakhar’s retirement, they’re just rumours.

Despite feeling disheartened over the contract snub, Fakhar has no intentions of walking away from international cricket. He’s disappointed, yes, but he’s not done yet.

Fakhar’s Fitness Struggles

While the social media post may have stirred the pot, the PCB insists there’s more to the story. According to PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, Fakhar’s exclusion wasn’t solely about the tweet; it was also about his fitness.

Fakhar has been nursing a knee issue since 2022, which he believes impacted his performance in recent fitness tests. Mohsin emphasised that the selectors want Fakhar to prioritise his health, suggesting he needs to complete rehab and pass the required fitness tests to rejoin the squad.

PS5: Is It Worth the Investment in Pakistan?

By

-

Oct 31, 2024

At a price of around PKR 170,000 in Pakistan with the manufacturer-boxed Sony PS5 Disk Edition many might ask: is it worth investing in this console right now (being that we know what the situation has been for last years up until recently) there are still great gaming experiences to be had otherwise through an existing Sony PS4? At such a high price, the PS5 offers a range of all-new features and levels of immersion that some gamers have not yet heard of. But the decision to buy is not an obvious one. At this point, it all depends on what you want to do with your PC in terms of gaming, while also taking budget into consideration.

Highlights for the Gamers

It’s absolutely a Pro-gaming console, and not just by name but the features. The near-instantaneous transitions between scenes and exponentially faster load time, thanks to the ultra-high-speed SSD. Do you want to power up those loading times and squeeze out some extra pixels from the graphical fidelity of a game as rich in story, like Bloodborne or Ghost of Tsushima? Now the graphics, the PS5 ray tracing offers far more realistic lighting, shadows and reflections to create an ambience that looks closer to real life than the others. In addition to this, since the TCL 55R617 supports 4K resolution and HDR technology everything looks sharp even on the big screens, with almost real-life colour.

The DualSense controller on the PS5 is one of its most impressive features. The haptic feedback along with the adaptive triggers deliver an adjustable tactile sensation that coordinates perfectly well with gameplay mechanics providing a more immersive experience. With the additional support of Sony’s Tempest 3D AudioTech sound engine, sounds move seamlessly in a three-dimensional space enabling players to pinpoint enemy locations through audio alone. These features make it clear Sony is worried about providing a richer, more immersive gaming experience that cannot be delivered on the PS4 even by Pro Board measures.

The Backward Compatibility

The PS5 will also be backward-compatible with most PlayStation 4 games, so you can keep playing your favourite games from the previous era. Functionally, a number of the PS4 games running on the PS5 are also using enhanced performance/GPU features to effectively provide a boost for something like God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn. New console, new platform exclusives and with GTA 6 due for release on the PS5 it is futureproofing your gameplay to ensure you get the most out of big titles as they launch.

Is it really worth it?

As the exchange rates fluctuate, and the availability of gaming consoles is uncertain, there seems to be no fixed price for a PlayStation 5. The PS5 Disk Editions, usually cost between PKR 150k to 180K which is a hefty sum when you consider that you can get your hands on hopefully well-performing PS4 for quite less. Buying the PS5 from abroad may also seem like a compelling idea to a gamer in Pakistan. For instance, in the Middle-East the console could be found for approximately 126K with delivery charges. While the savings are excellent, you should also be aware that any imported electronics may be subjected to customs duties in Pakistan which would eventually add up to the same.

Should You Wait or Buy Now?

Holding out until the launch of GTA 6 sounds appealing, provided that the price can be reduced somewhat. On the flip side, when all of these new games drop, it could raise the demand, which could keep the prices high, or drive them up due to supply chains. Besides, if you value graphics and next-gen experiences the PS5 offers, for peace of mind, upgrading sooner rather than later is a better idea.

Many gamers on forums like Reddit discuss similar dilemmas, weighing whether the improved experience of the PS5 is worth the premium cost over a cheaper PS4. Some argue that if you’re a casual gamer or mainly interested in single-player exclusives, the PS4 can still be fulfilling, especially with the availability of titles like The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima on the platform. Others point out that if you have a 4K HDR display and appreciate high-quality graphics, the leap to PS5 is well worth it.

To upgrade or to not upgrade?

Another factor to consider for PKR 170,000 is that gamers might also look into building a custom gaming PC. While a PC may lack some of the exclusive PS5 titles, it offers flexibility with upgrades and access to a broader range of games. Additionally, gaming PCs can be used for purposes beyond gaming, making them a more versatile investment. However, the PS5 offers a streamlined, no-fuss gaming experience that many find appealing.

Is the PS5 Worth It in Pakistan?

The decision to buy a PS5 at current prices depends on several factors, such as your budget, gaming needs, and access to a 4K HDR screen. If you’re a gamer who values the immersive experiences that come with the PS5’s next-gen features—such as the ultra-fast SSD, 3D audio, and haptic feedback—it’s likely a worthwhile investment. On the other hand, if you’re more of a casual player and already own a PS4, waiting for price drops or major game releases could be a smart move.

The PS5’s price tag in Pakistan remains high due to import costs and limited availability, but for dedicated gamers, its features and exclusive titles offer an experience that may justify the expense. As one Reddit user wisely noted, “If you have the money, it’s worth it; but if you’re stretching your budget, the PS4 is still a fantastic console with plenty to offer.” Ultimately, the PS5 is a powerhouse that brings a refined, immersive experience, setting a new standard in console gaming—but only you can decide if the upgrade is worth the cost.

Rubab’s character is a testimony to why young women need to be financially independent. She portrays in the series that a woman should be financially self-reliant and not rely on her partner.

Empowerment and self-reliance are the need of the hour in modern-day relationships. Rubab, her determination not to be financially dependent on anyone else, reflects a shift among women in defining roles in society.

Apart from financial independence, respect and self-respect are the other qualities Rubab portrays. She does not let anyone speak to her in a disrespectful manner and stands firm on her boundaries. Her strength is well-evident in her response to the betrayal she receives.

Infidelity: a Shared Offence

Both her husband and her best friend are held accountable for their actions by Rubab. In doing so, she gives an important message: that infidelity is just not the other woman’s problem but a shared one. She preaches self-respect and brings home the point that all parties involved are responsible.

Naeema Butt has become a symbol of empowerment for many viewers. Through her strong, independent role, she encourages young women to seek financial independence, self-respect, and accountability in relationships.

Smog in Punjab: Precautions You Need to Take

Smog has become a serious health hazard over the past years, particularly in Punjab. It irritates your eyes, throat, and lungs. More than this it worsens respiratory conditions such as asthma.

Unfortunately, for those with chronic illnesses, smog makes matters far worse. Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Multan have frequently reported extreme levels of worsened air quality. To protect yourself, these next few precautionary steps are essential for your well-being.

How To Stay Safe During Smoggy Days

1. Limit outdoor activities

Spend more time indoors on days when air quality levels are poor, especially if you live in high-traffic areas. Add air purifiers in every room, and plants such as aloe-vera, and snake plant to improve the air around you naturally.

2. Wear Masks Outdoors To Protect Yourself

Use a face mask to reduce the amount of harmful particles you inhale. The N95 mask in particular is recommended for smoggy days. Bike users should also wear protective glasses to shield their eyes from dusty air.

3. Monitor Air Quality

Stay updated on local Air Quality Index (AQI) levels and follow health advisories. Either download apps, or follow reliable websites to make ensure you’re not at the wrong place at the wrong time.

4. Hydrate and Rest To Protect Yourself

Drink lots of water to keep your respiratory system hydrated. This hydration will replenish your respiratory system. Plus, take breaks in shaded areas if you have to be outside.

5. Reduce Pollution

Every little contribution matters! Protect yourself and those around you by driving less, avoiding smoking, and minimizing any activities that can contribute to air pollution. If you must drive, drive slowly and use headlights during smoggy conditions to stay safe.

It’s important to be vigilant of your surroundings when the environment is not safe. Health is definitely not something to laze around about either. Grab your N95 masks now! and remain in clean environments.

TikTok owner ByteDance Founder Is Now China’s Richest Man

The founder of TikTok parent company, ByteDance, Zhang Yiming, is now China’s richest person, the first in a long line of significant changes in China’s wealth profile.

He has an estimated net worth of $49.3 billion. He surpassed the former champion, Zhong Shanshan, the founder of bottled water company Nongfu Spring, whose wealth dropped to $47.9 billion.

This implies that digital innovation still takes the cake over traditional industries since ByteDance keeps on increasing its global presence and revenues despite headwinds that come with new regulations.

ByteDance’s Global Expansion Drives Revenue Growth

In 2021, Zhang resigned as ByteDance’s CEO; however, his company’s flagship, TikTok, remains popular around the world.

In 2023, ByteDance experienced a 30% surge in revenue, reaching an astonishing $110 billion, fueled by the company’s potential to capitalize on advertising and data-driven trends on a global level.

Zhang’s path from entrepreneur to China’s richest man is one of impressive and historic proportions, particularly against the backdrop of shifting economies, regulatory pressures, and the high-stakes competitiveness of the tech world.

In one of the most significant comments on the upheaval of wealth in China, Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman of the Hurun Report, said that billionaires in real estate, renewables, and manufacturing, saw sharpest declines in wealth.

China has had one pretty challenging economic year and has seen a real downtrend in stock markets,” and this hit real estate ‘the hardest, where perhaps the most brutal change overall is at the top ten'”.

For example, tycoons in the realm of solar panels and lithium batteries were battered by sharp declines triggered by both competition as well as uncertainties in tariffs along with related issues. Cases such that their wealth stood up to 80 percent low against what it had gone up last year.

Zhang Yiming’s rise signals the evolving nature of China’s economy, where technological innovation, rather than traditional sectors, increasingly defines wealth and influence. As ByteDance’s success story unfolds, Zhang’s journey is a testament to the vast potential within the tech world, inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs in China and beyond.
