Features: From broadcasting a 100-line long poem on university radio in late autumn 1987 to publishing a front-page headline news story as a reporter in deep winter 1991; from being commissioned by the United Daily to cover the National "Two Sessions" in Beijing in early spring 1997 to editing and publishing Listening to Media's Confucianism and Media's Classics in midsummer 2003; from obtaining a master's degree in history at East China Normal University a decade ago to today being a PhD student at Beijing Broadcasting University immersed in researching media theory—"burning midnight oil to extend the day, constantly striving to exhaust the year"—I have traversed the historical tunnel, illuminated the light of journalism, and deeply understood the situation of the media. In the vibrant resonance of history, journalism, and media, I have been inspired to reflect: How should we evaluate the direction and responsibility of Chinese media? How should we understand the accelerated transformation period of Chinese media? How can we better develop the core competitiveness of the media? How can we encourage the media to protect the public interest in the market regulation? "Believing firmly and learning diligently, guarding the good path to death," over the years, I have happily pursued the "stars of academia" and willingly served as the "wedding dress" for the media. Together with PhD and master's students from national journalism universities, I have interviewed many industry giants and academic elites. "The wise, with their clarity, make others clear," "Speakers have three types: those with standards and origins, those with principles and foundations, and those with applications." As Marx said, "In some aspects, it is a norm and an unattainable model." Reading this book, I deeply feel the profound impact, as if striking jade with a stone, penetrating the marrow, with several layers of subtle and dynamic meanings. This book interprets the current situation and future trends of Chinese media from various perspectives and aspects. It includes long interviews with a group of individuals such as Mu Qing, Zhao Qizheng, Shi Zongyuan, Liu Binjie, Shi Feng, Liang Heng, Yang Bo, Li Dan, Liu Jinnan, Liu Changle, and Li Xiguang. Its the new spirit of high-level leaders in Chinese media, the new insights of leaders in media institutions, and the new achievements of media researchers.
