王微 / Wang Wei (Tudou)

Wang Wei is the founder of 土豆网 / Tudou in No.204 互联网视频平台混战：从后舍男生到漫长的季节 | 中国互联网故事21. The episode uses him to represent a creator-first version of Chinese online video: Tudou began closer to podcasting and user uploads, then became a platform where early web creators could find audience.

After Tudou’s delayed IPO and merger with 优酷 / Youku, Wang Wei left with a “江湖再见” message and founded 追光动画 / Zhuiguang Animation. His arc connects early UGC ideals to later professional animation and film production.
