I always applaud to Asian kids when they appreciate their parents sincerely for being supportive of the families

What an inspiration for all the immigrants and those who pursue of the American dream. Thank you for sharing your story and CBS.

Way to go Weijia. I grew up in Morgantown. My parents owned the only Chinese restaurant for a while. I was the only asian in my school until high school. You go Weijia!

What a great story! Tip the hats to those hardworking immigrant parents!

Congratulations Weija! You Rock!

Bonjour. I still think of your calm demeanor when dealing with the ex President at that outside event. I was so angry by how you were treated. Your professionalism is much appreciated. BTW, I wrote this comment as soon as I saw the subject. I am so glad that Vlad and the producer included that clip. Much respect.

A smart and a hardworking woman. Asians, especially women, do somehow develop a thick skin. I am not sure how. Also, must be nice to get such a wonderful tribute from your colleagues. I mean, did you see them at the end? They couldn't stop praising her. I wish my colleagues were that nice.

this is such a wonderful and heartwarming story. Love you guys at CBS News

Great observation. Most Asian women, at least these days, pick up an American name.

Proud of her achievements

What a great story. I’ve always thought she was excellent!

Weijia Jiang~ you make us so proud! I had no idea of your backstory - thank you so much for sharing.

She has always been one of my favorites... Even more so, now.

Love, love, love Weijia Jiang. She was a local reporter on New York City’s WCBS morning news show which I watched daily and she always presented herself professionally - the consummate professional. So happy and proud of her and enjoyed this showcase of her. Nice to see a Different side of her.

Happy for her. 😊 Thank you for sharing.

So inspiring, congratulations 🎊 👏🏾 💐

Beautiful story!!

Thank you for sharing your amazing story. This is good.

Stellar story… Weijia: noticed her during the tRUMP incidents. So glad Vlad featured it here. Good thing Gail missing & could not TALK OVER or Diminish this amazing success story.

I'm glad that she was blessed to be where she is now

Thanks for sharing the great story

Congrats & Thank you for your bravery.

I have strong objections when a non white person is called Colored, hey, White is a color too.

White is the absence of color on the spectrum. "In color theory, white is the color of all wavelengths together. When you see a white object, all color wavelengths are reflected off of that object. When every color reflects from the object, there's no color left. Therefore, white is the absence of color in the object, while our eyes see all the reflected colors."

@@ontheroad5555 thank you for your obviously above average intelligence comment, some people may even understand what you are talking about. Back to our subject matter, African American are called black, other darker skin American people are called brown, Asian Americans are called yellow, White people in America are called white folks, so white IS a color after all, therefore white Americans are colored too.

@@peacepipe18 you have to understand Americanism to appreciate the racial history of America. Colored only refers to those who are not genetically white. It's a catch all term that puts different races under one umbrella. A white person has never been referred to as colored not matter how dark their skin turns if tanned. It's the genetics not the phenotype that matters. There are black people who actually were able to pass as white. I watched a show on Las Vegas recently about how black performers could not stay in the hotels there overnight. They had to leave the area. There was one lady who did not look black at all but surely was able to pass as white. And that is how she was able to perform and not thrown out of Las Vegas after midnight.

You GO girl ! ❤ You're one of the very best - and we ❤ you !! 👍

Thanks CBS Mornings for this wonderful story. I would like to see more like this one showing love, encourage, appreciation and friendship, etc.

Too freakin sweet! I've always loved Weija,and could even spell her name before I watched. Love her!

It takes major guts to step into a space where nobody looks like you and the people who are in that space look like the same people who bullied and picked on you for many years of your life.

Love this!

I wish there are many more positivity American stories from CBS.

She’s amazing. I love the way she threw it right back to Trump!

❤❤❤ 👍👍👍

What an amazing story. In contrast with the Orangutan with the tiny hands who wanted to put her in her place.

Great story, so touched, hard working will be paid off.

Beautiful women and person

Yay for Weijia.....you go girl and make us Chinese girls proud....hey, why not.... And geez louise...we and they all know how awesome and sexy we Chinese females are.... it's total living proof. I'm one, and so are you.....and there are so many past, present, and future. They all dream to look like us.....for sure

Weija was a local shining star .now..a national shining stars..way to go weija

👍💐🙂

I started to call her “ my girl “ ( as in M’man) the day she told Donald Trump off . So proud of her.

You're right! It's pronounce WEI -JIA and not WE- JIA. but people who are not Chinese don't know that and Weijia herself didn't teach people to properly pronounce her name and pronounce her name WE JIA herself.

I will always remember the time when Donald Trump shut her down at a Rose Garden news conference 4 years ago. She tried to imply that Trump was picking on her because she is Asian. She's the one that asked the "nasty" question. I love how he abruptly ended the news conference. Must have angered a lot of other reporters that had legitimate questions.

Love it!!!

❤ weijia….very inspiring

Is Weijia Jiang a good reporter ? We think a good reporter should learn how respect to the higher authority!

dern im cryingggg

So proud of her

Her name really should be pronouned Way-zhah, not Wee-zhah

Don't like her politics and her bias, partisan news reporting, but it's a good immigrant story, although is fairly typical for Asian immigrants. I loved the quote her dad said about how as a child studying for the SAT that she's implicitly making money for her future.

Ditto on your comment. Inspiring story for the sake of the American dream but yeah..... she's on the left. She's probably a closeted patriot.

Good for you Weijia for dreamong big and making your dreams come true. and It's disgusting that people would ask her if she can see because she has small eyes and is of Asian heritage. That would not be tolerated in today's time period 2024 or people would think of someone as being a total idiot racist for asking something so stupid to a person.

What’s wrong with you?

Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in your entire life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?

Trump is so vile 😬

I will be happy when mainstream media stops mispronouncing Weijia’s name, so that it doesn’t sound like some occult practice. It’s. WAY GEE AH. It’s ironic because pinyin was originally supposed to help pronounce Chinese easier..

You where one of the biggest bullies to me and many others that I can remember weijia. I'm sorry you were bullied maybe that's why you became one as well..
