Colorful years

The authoritative definition of news is: news is a means of information dissemination that aims to convey recent events, news, or developments to the public.

News is highly time-sensitive; the information must be recent and possess a certain level of importance or influence to attract public attention. Furthermore, news must guarantee its authenticity; the information must be accurate, reliable, and subject to verification and confirmation.

In short, news, as a form of information, aims to convey the latest, most important, and most influential information to the public, helping people understand the events happening around them and the latest developments in the world.

Zhang Cong seemed rather indifferent to written definitions, even finding them somewhat lengthy and complicated. In his view, the key to news lies in the word "new."

In short, news should focus on events that have never happened before but are currently unfolding. To put it simply, a common dog bite incident isn't news; but if it were a case of a person biting a dog, that would undoubtedly be a major news story that attracts attention!

It is precisely this unique and profound cognitive philosophy that gives Zhang Cong an extraordinary keen insight into news compared to ordinary people.

Therefore, whether in the vast sea of ​​people or in the complex social phenomena, he can easily discover and accurately capture those valuable news clues hidden within, as well as major news events worth reporting.

In addition, his superior comprehension and excellent writing skills make writing various news articles a breeze for him.

Zhang Cong's outstanding performance in news reporting quickly made Mr. Man Guoliang overjoyed, and also allowed him to leave this demanding position earlier with greater peace of mind.

In the early 1980s, the transportation situation in Dayong County was extremely backward. Several remote communes had not yet been connected by roads, and those communes that had been connected by roads only had one passenger bus per day.

When conducting research and news interviews in rural areas, most of the time one can only rely on walking. As a veteran comrade approaching fifty, considering my advancing age and declining health, it is normal to feel the urge to retire in the face of such a arduous working environment.

According to his initial plan, he wanted to help Haitian get his work on track, guide him for one or two years, and once he was able to perform his job well, he could then transfer to another position and no longer engage in news reporting.

Zhang Cong was able to quickly rise to prominence thanks to his critical reporting on a breaking event.

That day marked one month since he started working, and Zhang Cong went to Luoshui Commune alone for an interview. The bus stopped at Jiaoziya District Station.

Just as he was about to get off the bus and walk to Luoshui Commune, the passengers in Luoshui Commune refused to get off and got into an argument with the bus driver.

"The bus hasn't even reached Luoshui yet, why has it stopped?" The villagers in the bus were discussing among themselves, their faces filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

However, no matter how strongly the villagers pleaded, the driver refused to continue. Not only that, the driver also said rudely, "Luoshui is a poor, remote place, full of unruly people; we dare not go there!"

"Sir, you can't say that! You can't generalize like that!" The villagers were getting increasingly angry and demanded an explanation from the driver.

Zhang Cong keenly sensed that this was an unexpected incident, and if not handled properly, it could escalate into a group fight.

There may be a valuable news lead hidden behind this incident, and if we delve deeper, we might find some unexpected insights.

So he decided to launch an investigation, and went to the driver, the ticket seller and several fellow villagers to ask them in detail about what had happened.

After thoroughly understanding the ins and outs of the matter, and seeing the situation becoming increasingly chaotic, he was extremely anxious, but his mind was racing, trying to find a way to quickly resolve the crisis.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked loudly, "Fellow villagers, may I ask where your tickets are for today?"

However, when faced with this question, the villagers looked at each other, and not one of them was willing to answer.

Just then, the ticket seller spoke up: "Passengers, the final destination of the tickets sold at our station is Jiaoziya."

Upon hearing this, the complaints and doubts from the crowd immediately grew louder.

One of the villagers shouted angrily, "This bus was originally going to Luoshui, but now it's not running anymore, forcing us to walk 20 miles of mountain road to get home. How can you live with yourselves doing this?"

Zhang Cong took a deep breath and calmly replied, "Fellow villagers, don't get agitated. Since your tickets are for Jiaoziya, you should indeed get off the train when you arrive at your destination, according to regulations."

If you continue to make a scene here, then you're being unreasonable. But rest assured, I will definitely help you report the issue of the station suspending passenger buses to Luoshui to the relevant departments and strive to give you a satisfactory answer.

After hearing Zhang Cong's reasonable words, the villagers, though still somewhat unhappy, realized that they had indeed done something wrong. So they could only mutter under their breath as they reluctantly got off the bus.

Seeing that the situation had finally calmed down, Zhang Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself for successfully solving this thorny problem.

The reason why the Cairo water passenger bus service was suspended at the station is as follows.

It turned out that half a month ago, a middle-aged man returning home boarded a bus bound for Luoshui Commune.
