Cao Jingxing, a well-known media person, graduated from the History Department of Fudan University, served as the director of the speech department of Phoenix Satellite TV, a news commentator, and was previously the deputy director of Phoenix Satellite TV Information Station.
He has also had many titles, such as becoming a writer and deputy editor-in-chief of Asia Weekly, concurrently serving as the chief writer of Ming Pao, writing articles for many domestic and foreign newspapers; visiting professor, visiting scholar...
But he was known to a wider audience and attracted to the scholarly host by the late-night show "Current Affairs Lecture".
As an in-depth report of news, "Current Affairs Lecture" has become one of the signature programs of Phoenix Satellite TV. In today's "fast food era", when everything is fast, the high ratings of "Current Affairs" can prove that in-depth reporting is not only necessary, but also has a considerable audience.
Some fans said to him, "I can't sleep at night, I think it's not bad after watching your show, and I can't sleep soundly after I get used to it." Cao Jingxing joked that he hopes that there will be more and more such "insomniacs" and "night owls".
"Lectures on Current Affairs" has been hailed as "China's most valuable TELEVISION program in the past 15 years".
As a result, Mr. Cao Jingxing has also been called "the first person to review tv times" and has won the honor of "the most valuable TV host in China in the past 15 years".
Chen Luyu called him a "master milk killer" and Dou Wentao called him a "news radar."
No matter whenever he mentions his achievements, Cao Jingxing will humbly say, "We are like a team." I'm not necessarily the best to play, but I'm in this position and the ball is right at my feet, and if the ball is kicked away, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm good in myself, because the opportunity is good. ”
After graduating from high school, he "went to the mountains and went to the countryside" and worked as a farmer for ten years, but he was admitted to Fudan University under harsh conditions, and the hardships in it can be imagined.
So how did he achieve this "climbing" of life?
His father was Cao Juren, a well-known journalist and writer of the Republic of China; Cao Juren was an introductory disciple of Mr. Zhang Taiyan, a master of traditional Chinese studies; he also had close contacts with Lu Xun, and was even a guest of Honor for Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai; and the father and son of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo in Taiwan also secretly invited him to "talk freely" and secretly discuss the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.
Perhaps because of his father's insight and sensitivity to current politics, Cao Jingxing also inherited his father's advantages, but unfortunately, when his father was about to die, he and his sister did not see his father for the last time.
When some people say that Cao Jingxing's work in the Hong Kong press is 'inheriting his father's business', he can only smile bitterly, saying:
"For me, it's a luxury, it's hard to come by."
Cao Jingxing did not spend much time with his father, one at home and one abroad, and communication was not convenient in the era at that time, not to mention frequent meetings. Separated from his father at the age of 4, Mr. Cao Jingxing not only did not "dip" his father's light, but also worked hard to find his own path under his father's "aura".
During the period of going to the countryside, Cao Jingxing and his wife had a combined salary of 84 yuan per month, which was considered a "rich man" among the same class of students, leaving 40 yuan to buy meal tickets, 20 yuan to make living expenses for their daughters, and the remaining 24 yuan was almost used to buy books.
Lack of information, there are books to read, until I went to college, I began to digest from the "random reading" of the date.
Keep reading habits and read 10 daily newspapers a day.
"When I was a presenter, I consumed all the accumulation of my youth."
Nearly 30 years old to watch TV, to 51 years old "know the destiny of heaven" age, but "electrocution" became a TV person, Mr. Cao Jingxing can not help but sigh: life is really full of accidents, reading has become a solid backing for his news work.
"Do what you haven't done, and the future is still full of variables."
This is Mr. Cao Jingxing's summary and encouragement of himself, and you all encourage him.
Floating across the sea of life, heaven is at peace.
