Features: Nearly 100 Phoenix people review the eight-year growth journey of Phoenix TV with their own perspectives, supplemented by nearly 250 exclusive photos. Originally created for Phoenix TV's eighth anniversary, the book turned out to be "not very serious" and "not very coherent" due to the "show-off" of exclusive anecdotes and personal photo albums by Phoenix TV's famous anchors and reporters. At first glance, it might seem like another "Editor's Story," but it is a true family photo album. The characteristics of a family photo album are: minimal techniques, little art, mostly family members, endless stories, and each photo is extremely precious. TV stations are called audio-visual media with a swarm of photographers. If you ask where the photographic works are, they all answer: none. This cannot be blamed on us; it can only be blamed on the cameras. TV cameras cannot take photos—just like giant pandas, though belonging to the cat family, cannot catch mice. However, no matter what, this photo album has its highlights. Publishing it is not just about self-admiration but more about sharing with you the little-by-little feelings of Phoenix's eight years.
