Walking through the mud and continuing to trek is a must in the theme of "busyness becomes the norm", and it is also our belief in hoping to cross the hills.
Perhaps because the number of confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia in many places the previous day continued to increase, the journalists' day in 2021 has a cold smell.
The cloud of this round of epidemic has not yet dissipated, news events are endless, this journalist's day is destined to be busier, more online at any time. In a sense, it's a particularly busy journalists' day.
The ceremony of the day is still intense, the warmth is still doubled, but no journalist will think of it as a day to recuperate.
On this day, journalists will run on the road and editors will be on night watch. This is the norm for Journalists' Day.
In the context of the epidemic, there will be more clues, more tasks, and more "positions". "November 8th" is still an "extraordinary day" condensed from countless "interview days" and "newspaper release days". This is also the choice of many media.

We can't imagine journalists' day as a silent presence. For any media with professional ethics and sensitivity, the essence of journalists' day is to "move".
On this day, the meaning of the "festival" is noble, it blends the journalistic ideals and sense of honor of the practitioners, and then stimulates the production momentum for each individual.
On this day, perhaps not many people say "Happy Holidays", and perhaps many of us are too late to hear "Happy Journalists' Day". "Forgetting" is, of course, an illusion. Fellow journalists are still concerned, still blessed, still expected, but more importantly, still accustomed to the normal busyness of Journalists' Day.
This busyness is orderly and tense.
If "busy" has taste, the busyness of journalists must be the most tasteful one: busy and not chaotic. This is not arrogance, but an honest feeling: the inevitable result of being noticed and "sculpted" by values.
A "journalist" must not sit idle and have nothing to do; a "team of journalists" must not lose the power of inquiry and insight and be mediocre. Otherwise it would be pathetic.
For journalists and even the busyness of the media, its "structure" is like this: it has been on the road + 24-hour hotline. Its value stems from these: the voice of the masses, the presence of journalists, the way the news is spoken... In the era of new media, "journalists are busy" and "media is busy" have evolved various characteristics and bright colors. It stems not only from the power of "tears", but also from the confidence of media transformation.

We are still recording the "most recorded". Yesterday, The Chinese female astronauts went out of space for the first time, and it was the duty of the media to record and interpret this historical moment. Just as we will count the "serial number" of each year's Journalists' Day and express the 2021 Journalists' Day as the 22nd Journalists' Day, we have extraordinary footprints to mark every day, month, and year.
But in every ordinary day, recording the truth, lashing out at the ugly, and promoting human morality are the deeper aspirations of "journalists." Some people say, "Tell the truth with facts, let the pessimists move forward"; some people say, "Write the words, speak righteously"; some people say, "With the tip of the pen, with the lens, with the sound, capture every beam of light in the world"... These words have undergone the "cooking" of the years and become mellow and deep. Undoubtedly, on this big road of smoke and dust, it is difficult to have people who walk alone, and it is difficult to have people who are lost and helpless. We resonate, we look forward to it, and we win together.
"Journalists are busy", this is the best way to celebrate Journalists' Day and act.
