Features: This book is calm and serene, yet it always carries a force that strikes the mind. It aims to guide readers into the depths of television news philosophy during the reading process. A book meant for reading can accompany the reader, while a book meant for thinking may change the reader.
When programs like "Focus," "News Investigation," "Straight Talk," "Linking Times," and "Face to Face" were launched one after another, energetically stepping onto the screens of the audience, a proposition was proven again: behind every outstanding program lie two essential elements—"philosophy" and "passion."
Some books are meant for reading, while others are meant for thinking. Many words have been written about the stories behind programs like "Eastern Horizon," "Focus," "News Investigation," and "Straight Talk," but the charm of this book lies in the little-known background of the stories it tells. Readers can trace the cause and effect by connecting the stories. Its uniqueness also lies in the philosophy of television that supported and propelled these programs—innovation, excitement, and the hardships they faced.
This is not a book about history; the memories of the past are sincere records of an entrepreneurial era. It is also not a narrative book, although it records many experiments the author personally experienced and tells of the comfort and fulfillment the passionate pioneers found in their dedication. But beyond these stories, the author truly wants to convey the weighty emotions and spirit advocated by a group, as well as his inner reflections on the gains and losses of a decade of television experiments.
