With his talent and charisma, Zhou Libo quickly became a star on the Chinese comedy stage.
In 2006, Zhou Libo and Guan Dongtian joined hands to create Shanghai-style Qingkou, a new art form that combines traditional cross talk with modern humor and was well received by the audience. His masterpieces "Thirty Years of Laughter" and "Laughter in Shanghai" tell the story of the reform and opening up in Shanghainese, and show the historical changes of Shanghai in a witty way.

In 2009, he collaborated with Phoenix TV to launch "One Week Libo Show", a talk show that blended social commentary and entertainment, which was widely acclaimed. In addition, he also participated in the creation of "China's Got Talent" and served as a host in several TV shows.
Zhou Libo's influence is far more than that. His philanthropic work is equally commendable. He was named Asia's Most Influential Person of the Year by CNN, and in 2010, he was awarded the "Most Caring Donor Individual" award at the China Charity Awards. He spares no effort to support education and the development of underprivileged areas, demonstrating his sense of social responsibility through donations and public welfare activities.
Although Zhou Libo has experienced challenges and lows in his life, such as his arrest in the United States for drug-related cases, his resilience and reflection in the face of adversity have also earned him the respect of the public. His experience has taught us to be courageous and upright in the face of setbacks, while also constantly examining and growing ourselves.
To sum up, Zhou Libo is an artist who combines humor, talent, and responsibility. He not only brings laughter to the audience on the stage, but also transmits positive energy in life, and constantly makes positive contributions to society.
