Author: Liang Heng

Features: This book is worth reading, especially for young journalists and correspondents. First, many of the articles in the book preserve valuable historical materials from the ten years after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, such as those on rectifying the chaos and overturning. The longer the time passes, the more valuable these materials will become. Second, it can be seen that these articles were carefully crafted. As a prose writer, the author approaches news writing with the same attitude as artistic creation. The book handles the relationship between news and literature very well, showing creativity and serving as a valuable reference. Third, the book includes over forty "soliloquies," some of which narrate the process of news gathering and writing, while others provide additional background to the original drafts. However, each piece goes beyond the original material, summarizing it in terms of news theory or writing techniques. This heartfelt, conversational research style makes the book feel intimate and many of the opinions are insightful. In short, this collection offers some valuable insights into news writing. The book is titled "Corners Without News," with the intention of referring to news written from places where it is not easily found. I especially recommend this book to young journalists and correspondents, hoping that they will learn how to seize news opportunities under difficult circumstances and strive to write excellent news.
