I was in the ten years of the People's Daily (2)

Text/Li Shiquan

After the People's Daily approved by the Party Central Committee, the East China and South China Branch have been established to publish East China and South China News. At that time, the main leaders of the four sets of central teams congratulated all the inscriptions, which was rare. The South China News Edition should cover the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan, including the Hong Kong and Macau regions that are about to return to each other. The four versions of each issue are connected to the People's Daily.

I remember that after the report was reported at the end of April 1997, in May, the Yangcheng Evening Newspaper News Training Center in Furong, Furong District, Huadu District conducted an enrollment education training course. At the beginning of the training class, Shao Huaze, the president of the People's Daily, came to Guangzhou for a counseling report (see the training class below) to comprehensively introduce the reform and development of the People's Daily. This is a very exciting and high -quality report. It can be seen that President Shao attaches great importance to the establishment of a local branch and local news version as the "first leader" of the newspaper. Zou Jing, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the head office, lamented to me: "It is also difficult for the heads to hear such a good report by President Shao."

After the training class, Huang Rifei, a colleague of the branch, accompanied him and the Deputy Director of the Personnel Bureau of the Headquarters, Wang Wenjie, to visit the neighboring Qingyuan City. He also received the warm reception of Luo Yanqiu, the secretary of the Qingyuan Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China.

At that time, Li Renchen, deputy editor -in -chief of the People's Daily, served as the president of the South China Branch, and the other two deputy presidents, the editor -in -chief and general manager. In addition, the members of the team also had two deputy editor -in -chief and one deputy general manager. There are office, editor -in -chief, interview department, special issue department, and Hong Kong and Macao Ministry of Branch.

I was arranged to work in the Tonglian Group of the editor -in -chief. The direct leader was Tu Xiaodong, the director of the editor -in -chief. He had worked in the head of the community for many years before he came to the branch. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University in 1983 and was assigned to the People's Daily. He has a stable personality and a sense of humor and is a gentleman. Under his specific guidance, my main task is to contact party, government agencies, enterprises and institutions at all levels in the three provinces of South China, and the establishment of a correspondent team of the Land and Municipal Daily to provide manuscripts for the South China Branch to publish the South China Branch. Wait for services.

A quarter of a quarter has passed for a quarter. It was a years of passion and burning, and that was also an era of entrepreneurship. Because of the huge influence and authority of the Party Central Committee, with the support of the leaders of the editorial department, my work and other items made progress very smoothly. First, under the leadership of Liu Jingshan, deputy president of the branch community, and deputy editor -in -chief Yi Kai, they took a circle in east of Guangdong and western Guangdong. The relevant situation, I hope the local party will be supported, and the enthusiastic reception and warm response from the party committees in various places will be obtained.

Second, Li Yazhou, a photographer in the chief editor -in -chief, went to Guangxi (see the picture below) and visited the four cities of Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin and Beihai. The three cities except Guilin were involved for the first time. The Eight Gui Land, lush and lush, and the ecological vegetation is very good.

After that, I also went to Haikou and Sanya City, Hainan Province of the motherland. In the two provinces of Guangxi and Hainan, we visited the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of the two provinces, the Guangxi and Hainan Branch of the Xinhua News Agency, the party committees and newspapers of the two provinces and districts, and the party newspapers in various cities.

I remember that this trip visited the Journalist Station of the Headquarters at Nanning and Haikou City. In Liuzhou and other places, she met Gu Yizhong, Pangge Ping and Wu Gang who was about to be transferred to branches to become colleagues. people.

Although this trip was in a hurry, the dragonflies were watering, but they made friends and established a wide range of contacts with the two provinces and regions. They made a group of friends, which was quite harvesting. However, because I took this trip for many days, I missed the unveiling of the sub -agency held in Guangzhou. This activity is the most important activity of the South China Branch. Fan Jingyi, editor -in -chief of the People's Daily, and the leaders of the three provinces in South China to unveil them together. They failed to witness. We see the grand situation. Now it is regrettable.

In May 1997, the author at Nanning Airport

Immediately afterwards, I kept grasping the work of the special correspondent team of the three provinces and regions. First of all, send a letter in the name of the South China Branch of the People's Daily, and to the party committees, governments at or above the county) of the three provinces, and the large state -owned enterprises and the prefecture newspaper. (See the picture).

The list of special correspondents in the three provinces of South China that year

In September 1997, I led a total of 70 correspondent teams in the South China region to go to the Beijing People's Daily and Beidaihe Training Center to hold about ten days of training courses (see picture). This training course invites the leaders and business backbones of the relevant departments of the People's Daily Headquarters, as well as teachers of the capital college.

The batch of "special correspondents" who participated in the training that year, most of them have grown into leaders of all places and units, some are department -level cadres, some are leaders of large enterprises in the province, and some have become the president and boss of the newspaper, such as the current as the president of the newspaper, such as the current as the president of the newspaper, such as the current as the president of the newspaper. Xiao Hangfu, director of the Liaison Working Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference, Wang Wei, member and deputy general manager of the Guangdong Railway Investment Group Party Committee, and Guojiang Yongzhong, the Coston of Guangzhou Daily, is the correspondent who participated in the training. Essence

The People's Daily, as the Party Central Committee, is the "Huangpu Military Academy" of the China News Front. Imagine that since the establishment of the People's Daily in June 1948, I really do not know how many news propaganda cadres have been cultivated to lead or important jobs. It is worth mentioning that this training course is in the heads of the heads, and Li Renchen, deputy editor -in -chief of the People's Daily and the first president of the South China Branch, personally gives a counseling report, and takes a group photo of the beautiful Jintai Garden in the courtyard (see the picture) Essence

Through my two -year work efforts, I quickly set up a working platform for communicating with the work of communication in the three South China provinces and regions. At that time, the leaders of the newspaper visited everywhere, and some also had to accompany me; the reporter of the interview center went to interview, and the editorial department needed a draft, some also had to contact me; Essence

Remember that soon after the development of the South China Branch of the People's Daily, the South China News Edition has expanded among the readers and the masses, increasing the special work of the masses' visits and letter processing. Essence

In early 1999, I also planned to organize the organization in the name of the Society in the name of the Spring Festival. At that time, in addition to me, a full -time Tonglian Team arranged for a colleague to assist in the editor -in -chief room, and it was counted at most half. It can be said that with the support of the leaders of the newspaper and the editor -in -chief, the lone army fought, "killing a blood road." Looking back now, it can be considered as a bit of work during the start -up period of the People's Daily South China Branch.
