Features: Today's news is tomorrow's history. The coincidence of history made "News Broadcast" (Xinwen Lianbo) start at the same time as China's reform and opening-up. The 20 years of "News Broadcast" recorded major events of the 20-year reform and opening-up process. Browsing the broadcast schedule of "News Broadcast" is like interpreting 20 years of history. The content of this book comes from the major domestic and international news events broadcast by the CCTV "News Broadcast" program since its official launch on January 1, 1978. These 20 years were China's reform and opening-up years, during which television news gradually became the main channel for us to understand the outside world. After editing and organizing the historical events that had a significant impact on Chinese society over the past 20 years, the book is accompanied by more than 260 historical images broadcast by "News Broadcast" over 20 years. Additionally, there are little-known behind-the-scenes stories of "News Broadcast," including the familiar anchors and the less-known editors and journalists. Just as "News Broadcast" airs every day on schedule, "20 Years" presents a full record in the form of an annual, monthly, and daily chronological order, recreating the "television lenses" of 20 years of news.
