Chinese actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Yao Chen shared how social media changed her life on Sept 10 in Tianjin.

In fact, Yao Chen is not tech-savvy at all. She rarely opens her email account, doesn't do online shopping and lives a somewhat "ancient" life. All of a sudden, she met many interesting people through the platform Weibo provided. With her rising number of followers (more than 73 million as of today), the actress felt the power and pressure from social media. And she learned to use the platform as a tool for philanthropy to help people in need.

In June 2010, Yao Chen became the first Chinese honorary patron to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and became a spokeswoman for the organization. Three years later, she was named UNHCR's Goodwill Ambassador.

Yao shares her emotions through social media. The purpose is  to let more people know what's happening around the world and make more people to take action to help those in need.

The birth of her first son "Little Potato" last year added another layer of responsibility on Yao's shoulders. "I want my child to grow up in a better environment, so things I care about were more in detail. When he's older, I want to take him with me to go outside to help others and show him what the world outside is really like."

"Responsibility comes with abilities," Yao said she reminds herself this from time to time.
