Three years have passed, and things have changed. How does Zhang Xianjun, who is still working as a journalist, view himself back then? Has his feelings about his journalistic career changed? -

A "Forced detention" is followed by maturity< /p>

"How many years later, I will remember these two days. In the early morning of May 8, 1999, three missiles from NATO led by the United States accurately hit the Chinese Ambassador to the Yugoslavia Alliance from three different directions. Museum, which shocked the whole world. This special opportunity made me step into the news interviewing profession from an engineering student who was about to graduate. I will never forget this day in my life. Likewise, I will still remember December 16, 1999. It’s still fresh. What happened on that day in ‘Nanjing

The judge forcibly detained a reporter’ and what happened in the following days made me become an absolutely famous journalist in just a few months. famous reporter.

On the eve of Journalists’ Day, when our reporter Zhang Xianjun was interviewed, he said this sentence that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

Just now in June 1999. After graduating from university, Zhang Xianjun joined the former Economic Morning News and began his career as a reporter. After the "forced detention of journalists" incident, the national media and Nanjing citizens gave reporter Zhang Xianjun full understanding and support, which made him better in his future work. , vowing to be a good reporter who upholds justice and pays attention to vulnerable groups. Over the past three years, he didn’t even know how many citizens he had helped tell the truth and seek explanations. “I was very sad after what happened. Feeling wronged and angry. And now that I think about it, it is this process, rather than the beginning and end of the incident, that has given me a better understanding of news and life than some other new reporters. I should actually be grateful that I had such an extraordinary experience. Some people say that journalists are the eyes of social conscience. I think this is the real comfort of being a journalist and the highest praise people can receive. My colleagues and I will work hard!"

In the Nanjing journalism world, there are active a group of "journalism couples" who love and help each other. Their similar interests and professional characteristics make these "young couples" "Becoming news partners, colleagues, assistants, and even opponents in newspapers, on camera, and on the radio. For the sake of their careers, they may have lost a lot of warmth and happiness that ordinary people have, but they also gained a taste that is difficult for ordinary couples to experience - --

B It is difficult for "couples on the same stage" to meet each other

In the media industry, couples often perform on the same stage. Coincidentally, it happened to be the couple that the reporter wanted to interview yesterday. "Couple Reporters" are celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary. They are the host of the Nanjing People's Broadcasting Station news station Ming Jing and her husband Zhang Yong.

The two didn't have much contact in daily life, but due to their love for the journalism industry, the comradeship gradually established at work developed into a sweet love during the unprecedented flood fighting and rescue operation in Nanjing in 1998. Zhang Yong went to the front line every day to interview, and every time he came back from work, he was always covered in dirt, which was very hard. After Ming Jing finished his work, he always stayed on the stage and waited to see Zhang Yong come back, which made the two of them feel at ease. , finally got married on November 6, 1998.

“In the eyes of many people, journalism is a ‘glorious’ profession, but I think this profession is a hard job, especially if you want to. Being an excellent reporter is impossible without a good professional spirit and preparation for hardship. "Zhang Yong told reporters that in order to be a good reporter, they don't want children yet. Although they work in the same station, he is in the news center and his wife is a host.
