Bai Yansong’s evaluation:
Bai Yansong’s hosting style is profound but not rigid, lively but not kitsch. In hosting, he is in a league of his own. In life, he is extremely wise and has a strong sense of social responsibility. On the surface, his language is gorgeous and poetic, lively yet profound, simple yet full of sincerity. But the small but bright eyes hidden behind a pair of glasses tell the audience that his thoughts are deeper and more composed.
In 2000, his impromptu live broadcast at the Sydney Olympics was not inferior to that of sports channel hosts. He is unpretentious and upright; he never tries to impress others, he is a real person, and he is down-to-earth in his work. Bai Yansong appears serious, upright, and even a bit "old-fashioned" on the TV screen. But majesty is just a greeting, and his easy-going nature is revealed later. Away from the screen, Yansong is like a big boy who loves to play and has a colorful life.
