Journalists are the ones who light the torch and illuminate the reality. When we are still in the chaos and unaware, there is always their pen, page, and lens to convey the information. The Sun Zhigang case in Guangzhou, under the attention of the media and academia, became the driving force for the rewriting of a law; the Sanlu milk powder incident, reporters’ torture of the dairy industry and food safety, promoted the maturity of related industries; and college students because of saving people Reports of drowning people asking for help only to be "recovered at exorbitant prices" make us angry about the slackness of government departments in their responsibilities, but also read about the indifference of people who put people in dire straits without saving them. And all of this is only possible because of the reporters' news reporting. can be presented in front of us.

In fact, we can even say that we are living in the world conveyed by reporters - wherever there is singing, there is turmoil, ranging from the world economy to the smallest human relationships. Warmth and coldness are what reporters’ reports tell us about the real drama unfolding in a space beyond the reach of our eyes. It is these small pieces of news that constitute our perception of the big world.

It is precisely because of this , it is even more important to be the "lookout on the bow". In the early years of the Republic of China, the famous reporter Huang Yuansheng once concluded that journalists must have the "four abilities" - the ability to think, the ability to run, the ability to listen, and the ability to write. In fact, a good A reporter should have far more than these "four abilities". First of all, he should be a person with an upright conscience, not afraid of power and money, but dare to work for the people, instead of losing his professional integrity due to "hush money". He also needs to be a jack of all trades, a know-it-all, with the meticulous logic of a lawyer, and not missing any clues like a detective. He also needs to be able to understand philosophy and be able to gain insight into life through events. And all of this must be based on what he wants to do. In addition to having a good body, you must be able to endure hardships and travel, because the sudden nature of news determines that reporters are "either collecting and writing news, or on the way to collect and write news."

Perhaps, Liu Yong said more Well, "a warm heart, a pair of cold eyes, a pair of diligent hands, two busy legs, and a free spiritual realm", we all need this kind of life principle.
