On China's Journalist's Day last Friday, I received a special gift at the China International Import Expo—a pin inscribed with the words \"Record the times.\" 📸
Holding that pin took me back 15 years to when I had just started out as a community reporter at a local TV program. Back then, lugging around a giant shoulder-held camera was just part of the job. Those things were heavy! But around that time, a new, smaller camera with a handle was becoming popular—just like the one on the pin. Not only was it lighter, but it also made capturing stories so much easier.
It's amazing to see how much technology has evolved since then, but the essence of our work remains the same: to capture moments and share stories that matter. 🎥✨
This pin isn't just a souvenir; it's a reminder of why I became a journalist in the first place—to record the times and connect with people through storytelling.
