Joe Wong, a Chinese American, rose to fame for his unique comedy performance on The Late Show With David Letterman on CBS in 2009 and at the annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents Association in Washington, D.C. in 2010. Wong promoted his autobiography in China in November, attracting the media's attention again.

Wong was born to a rural family from Jilin Province in 1970. He majored in chemistry at Jilin University from 1986 to 1990 and went to the United States for a doctoral degree in 1994. Though Wong worked as a biochemistry researcher in America after graduation, he began telling jokes at comedy shows in 2001. At the beginning, Wong spoke English with a strong Chinese accent when he performed solo comedy for English-speaking audiences. He then became more and more popular in both America and China becaouse of his hard work and wit on comedy shows.

"Everyone has a unique voice. Find your voice and practice it," said Wong in his new book.
