In September, Li Xiaomeng will usher in the year of knowing right from wrong.
This former CCTV anchor of Virgo is not the so-called "microphone shelf", but a rare media person with the will to speak and the literacy.
Recently, her new book "Hello, Us" was launched.
At the beginning of the book, it responds to the reason for Li Xiaomeng's resignation, which has been disturbed and discussed by the outside world.
Li Xiaomeng herself said that she resigned from CCTV, mainly to go home to bring her children.
At first, my relatives, friends, and colleagues were a little surprised to hear this reason, and in their opinion, this could not be a valid reason.
However, Li Xiaomeng said that he did think like this, "alternative and unpursued." ”
As a female anchor of CCTV News Channel, Li Xiaomeng at that time was a representative of the post-70s youth faction.
Choosing to resign during the rising period of his career, in addition to sincerely wanting to go home with his children, there is also an indescribable insider:
The CCTV news channel was in the midst of a revision, with all-weather news broadcasts as the mainstay, and Li Xiaomeng, who had an independent style, was about to become a marginal existence.
This "mechanical work rhythm" is still its own shortcoming:
Li Xiaomeng said that she was not qualified to read the teleprompter broadcast work.
"It's really hard for me to do a good job." She often feels frustrated, and sometimes she makes mistakes that leave her helpless.
This was not Li Xiaomeng's arena in the first place, and Jing Yidan said that she was so agile when she went out on location.
But there is no such soil for exterior or hosting (programs with their own space, not content).
Once the program allowed the host to unscript, Li Xiaomeng was like a fish in water, she could code in her own language, and she could express her personal understanding.
Later, as soon as the stipulation "no unscripting, you must read the teleprompter" came out, she had to follow what she said, "Many words are not your own words, and it is always awkward to say them." ”
When the positive feedback and glory of having appeared on camera and reporting and personality play were withdrawn, her heart was empty.
She knew that "all this vivid, warm feeling would never come back."
So she struggled to escape this state, and finally the excellent female anchor who worked for CCTV for 20 years chose to return to her family.
Resigned, she has not stepped into the door of CCTV for 8 years.
In 2008, among the lives and deaths of more than 80,000 people, two reports marked the warmth and coldness of the world:
The first is Lin Tianhong, the "Bingdian Weekly" of China Youth Daily, whose special article "Going Home".
The second is the scene when CCTV news channel host Li Xiaomeng interviewed Uncle Zhu and cried bitterly.
"Among all Li Xiaomeng's expressions, this is the most beautiful."
CCTV editor-in-chief Wang Kailing commented.
