Since the establishment of CCTV in 1958, it has gone through 63 years. Among its successive directors is an outstanding woman who has walked out of Danyang Middle School in Jiangsu Province. She is the 6th director of CCTV, Huang Huiqun.
Huang Huiqun, the 6th director of CCTV
Huang Huiqun was born in July 1931 in Hangzhou to a family of railway workers, the mother of a housewife. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, 7-year-old Huang Huiqun was forced to suspend school, follow his parents to escape the war, and flee all the way to Chongqing. Because Huang Huiqun's uncle worked as a chinese doctor in Chongqing, he had a good idea to rely on to go to Chongqing. However, during the escape, the father and their mother and son were separated, and the mother took Huang Huiqun and her younger siblings all the way to beg, and after many hardships, they finally arrived in Chongqing in 1942. Found his uncle who was a Chinese medicine doctor.
With the arrival of Huang Huiqun's family of four, in that era of war and turmoil, a Chinese medicine family suddenly added four mouths to eat, which made the uncle's family more difficult. In order to reduce the family burden on her uncle's family, Huang Huiqun's mother went to a restaurant as a handyman, and Huang Huiqun's sisters and siblings also chose the national school to recruit difficult children and resume their education that was abandoned due to refugees. Because such a school, not only free tuition, but also include food, as long as the grades pass, you can go all the way to high school graduation.
After two years of day and night review and preparation, Huang Huiqun was finally admitted to the National Institute of Social Education Affiliated High School (the predecessor of Danyang Middle School in Jiangsu Province) at the then in Qingmuguan, Chongqing. For this hard-won opportunity to study, Huang Huiqun cherished it. I feel that the country's mountains and rivers are broken, the people are not happy, and only by studying seriously can we repay the country and the family. Therefore, although the learning conditions were extremely difficult at that time, Huang Huiqun still insisted and worked hard silently.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, the National Social Education Affiliated High School was relocated to Danyang, Jiangsu. The school gave travel expenses to publicly-funded students like Huang Huiqun and encouraged them to continue their secondary school studies in Danyang. Huang Huiqun and his family took a wooden boat down the river and after several months of bumps, arrived at Xiaguan in Nanjing. As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, Huang Huiqun bid farewell to his family, took a train from Xiaguan with a load of luggage to the National Social Education Affiliated High School in Danyang Ximen Confucian Temple, and continued to study.
In Danyang, Huang Huiqun finished junior high school. Although there were two parts of the students in the school at that time. Part from Chongqing Qingmuguan and part from Danyang. Aoki Guanlai speaks Chongqing dialect, and Danyang locals speak the difficult Danyang dialect, but everyone respects each other and gets along well, neither engaging in gangs nor factions, nor having a portal view. The study style and school spirit are very positive, and everyone is thinking about reading books well.
At the beginning of 1949, the War of Liberation was about to be completely victorious, and the situation in the kuomintang-ruled areas was turbulent and the tide of students continued. Huang Huiqun also drove to Nanjing with his classmates to petition and participate in the anti-hunger march, refusing the authorities to accept spoiled flour that the United States gave students to eat. After that, some of the boys in their class secretly went to northern Jiangsu to join the People's Liberation Army, and the Communist Party was also very active in organizing revolutionary activities underground in Danyang. Therefore, in the name of strengthening management, the school strictly investigates the "violations of discipline" of students. Huang Huiqun was also remembered once by the school for going to Nanjing to petition.
On April 20, negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communists broke down, and a million male divisions of the People's Liberation Army crossed the Yangtze River and marched to Jiangnan. Huang Huiqun and most of his classmates hoped that the People's Liberation Army would come to fight as soon as possible. Under the leadership of the school's underground party, they actively participated in the preparatory activities for the liberation of Danyang. During the day, everyone went to the county grain depot to beg for rice, but there were not enough pockets, so they took the pants they did not wear, tied the trouser pipes to death, loaded the rice and crossed their necks, and snatched the rice back to the school to the greatest extent possible; at night, the students secretly pasted bunting flags and wrote slogans to prepare for welcoming the People's Liberation Army and celebrating the liberation of Danyang.
In the middle of the night on April 22, the People's Liberation Army drove into Danyang City one after another, and Huang Huiqun and his classmates took out the bunting flags and slogans prepared in advance and walked out of the campus. Because it was dark in the middle of the night, it was impossible to distinguish at a glance whether the troops entering the city were the People's Liberation Army or the Kuomintang army. So they first sent two students to explore the way in front. It was agreed that the students who explored the road were empty-handed, did not hold the bunting flag, and when they found out that it was the People's Liberation Army, they would shout hello, and the other students would hide in the alleys or alleys on both sides of the road. In this way, after hearing the loud greeting of the pathfinder students in front, Huang Huiqun and other students finally ushered in the long-awaited People's Liberation Army at the first time. The students cheered and took the PLA to the school camp. The National Social Education Affiliated High School (Provincial Danzhong) also became the first stop of the People's Liberation Army stationed in Danyang City.
On April 23, Danyang was officially liberated, and Hangzhou was not yet liberated at this time. Huang Huiqun did not care about his parents' ideas, nor could he seek his parents' opinions, so he signed up for the People's Liberation Army without hesitation. In the army, because only students have experience, they are not adapted enough to the iron discipline of the Plaster, and their minds are still full of democracy and freedom, so they have become "backward elements" and have been transferred to several platoons. In the following months, with the education and help of the leaders and comrades-in-arms of the troops, Huang Huiqun gradually transformed from a backward soldier into an advanced cadet. Rushing to march, building roads, digging wells, dirty work, she rushed to do it. In November of the same year, Huang Huiqun was the first batch of recruits to join the Communist Youth League. Since then, she has consciously accepted the party's education and resolutely obeyed the organizational arrangements, which has become Huang Huiqun's lifelong professional habit.
Because of his excellent performance, Huang Huiqun was later selected by the army to study at the Russian Language College of the Third Field Army of the People's Liberation Army. After two years of study, the school was abolished due to the reorganization of the troops. Huang Huiqun and nearly 100 other students were selected and transferred to shanghai foreign language schools to continue their Russian language studies. Due to his excellent grades, the country urgently needed a Russian translator, and Huang Huiqun graduated early and was assigned to the Central Broadcasting Bureau as a translator. In 1958, Huang Huiqun was transferred to the newly established Department of Foreign Languages of Beijing Broadcasting College as secretary, group leader and deputy director of the department. He was then transferred to the Chinese Embassy in Albania as an interpreter, in June 1984 to the Cadre Department of the Central Radio and Television Administration in Beijing as deputy director general, and in July 1985 to CCTV, successively serving as deputy director and director.
Huang Huiqun accompanied Jiang Zemin and Li Peng to pay homage to the people of the whole country at the "Spring Festival Gala."
From 1988 to 1991, when Huang Huiqun was the director of CCTV, he advocated the road of "running columns and creating brands", and led CCTV colleagues to create some well-known brands such as "News Network", "Animal World", "Variety Show", "Chia Tai Variety"; produced a number of Chinese classic literary and artistic film and television works such as "Tang Ming Huang", "Wu Zetian", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Journey to the West"; actively carried out foreign exchanges and cooperation, for CCTV to go to the world, so that CCTV can become China and the world" The bridge of friendship, the bridge of unity" and made a positive contribution.
