Features: Comrade Mu Qing was an outstanding leader in China's publicity and news industry and a renowned journalist of his time. Whether working as a reporter for the Yan'an Liberation Daily or Xinhua News Agency, or serving as the head of Xinhua News Agency, he tirelessly wrote numerous reports, features, essays, and travelogues. These works documented his career and reflected the historical of China's revolutionary war era, socialist construction era, and the reform and opening-up period. They played a role in inspiring and motivating readers and those in practical work. Some of his famous works were widely disseminated by the author or included in textbooks. We have selected some of his works and compiled them into three books: Mu Qing's Reports, Mu Qing's Essays, and Mu Qing on Journalism, to present to readers.
In his more than 60 years of journalistic practice, Mu Qing remained loyal to the cause of the Party and the people, inheriting the fine traditions of Party journalism while also innovating and advancing. He strove to connect with reality and the masses, taking "seek truth from facts" as his guiding principle and "never forgetting the people" as his lifelong pursuit. His journalistic practice is particularly worth reference and study for journalists.
