At 7:30 AM on a Tuesday, 28-year Zhang Wei—an office worker at a Shanghai tech firm—grabs his phone while waiting for the subway. The first thing he does is open theChat Public Account of "财经时榜" (Finance Time Rankings) to check the latest "Weekly Fund Hot List". Today’s top entry a consumer fund that rose 3.2% last week, with a note: "This fund focuses on snack and beverage companies—ideal for short gains as the Spring Festival approaches".

For him "财经时榜" is more than a自媒体 account—it’s his go-to guide for navigating the confusing world of finance.
Since its 219 launch, "财经时榜" has grown from a niche WeChat account to a multi-platform financial media brand with over 2 million across WeChat, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Bilibili. It’s known for data-driven rankings, practical actionable tips, and tone that speaks to ordinary people rather than Wall Street experts. Let’s dive into what makes it stand out in China’s crowded financial自媒体 ecosystem.

He quit after covering the 215 stock crash—where he saw a 50-year-old woman lose her retirement savings to a high-risk stock she didn’t understand. " wanted to create a space where ordinary people get reliable, easy-to-understand financial info," he says.
