When it comes to CCTV's "News Network", the first faces that appear in the minds of many post-70s and post-80s should be Li Ruiying and Luo Jing.
In 1996, "News Network" decided to adopt the method of live broadcasting, and for the sake of safety, the important task of making the first live broadcast debut was given to Li Ruiying and Luo Jing.
Li Ruiying hosted in "News Network" for 28 years, her hosting career is not a mistake, and she was rated as "Iron Mouth" by everyone,
She served as a front-line reporter for the handover ceremony of Hong Kong's handover and as a live commentary on the 60th anniversary of the National Day. She is the "best journalist in the country" and has also been named one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Women in China".
But such an outstanding female host did not escape the curse of successful people's family and career, and she was scolded by everyone for being "cold-blooded" and "unworthy of being a mother" because she chose to work.
What happened at that time to make Li Ruiying fall into such an evaluation?
Sudden surprises
In 1998, Li Ruiying suffered the biggest challenge of her hosting career, but the choice she made also made her bear the stigma of "six relatives do not recognize" for many years. What happened then?
In 1998, two years after the "News Network" was changed to live broadcast, everyone was already familiar with the workflow, and that day Li Ruiying and her partner were seriously checking the manuscript as usual, when the mobile phone rang.
When recording the program, you definitely can't bring your mobile phone into the live broadcast room, but there were still twenty minutes before the start of the live broadcast, and Li Ruiying had not yet entered the live broadcast room.
Li Ruiying didn't expect that someone would look for her at this time, and she hung up directly without looking at it for the first time, after all, she was about to enter the live broadcast room.
But unexpectedly, the mobile phone immediately vibrated again, and helplessly she picked up the mobile phone to see who was so persistent, and saw that the number turned out to be from her family.
"Come back quickly, the child fell downstairs, covered in blood, and he was unconscious! What about this? ”
The mother-in-law on the other end of the phone kept sobbing, but Li Ruiying now felt that her brain was blank, and her only child fell or even his life and death were unknown?
This news made Li Ruiying almost faint, and her body was shaking. Li Ruiying's abnormality immediately made the staff next to her find out, and they quickly came over to help her.
Li Ruiying knew that she couldn't fall now, her mother-in-law was already scared into six gods and masterless, and she wanted to tell her mother-in-law what to do.
"Don't touch the child, call 120, send the child to the hospital, I'll rush back as soon as I finish the live broadcast."
Li Ruiying's choice surprised the staff next to her, but Li Ruiying knew that the live broadcast would start immediately, and she couldn't delay everyone's work because of her own personal affairs.
She can't leave now, it's impossible to find another female anchor to replace her in just a few minutes, and what she needs to do now is get the job done.
Li Ruiying thanked the staff who supported her, and after taking a deep breath, she was as pale and trembling as she was just now, and she was smiling at this time, and her whole body was full of energy.
That day, Li Ruiying completed the day's live broadcast with a smile, there was no mistake in the live broadcast, and Li Ruiying was still so calm and relaxed to control the audience.
After the live broadcast, Li Ruiying's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up, and when she stood up, everyone saw that she was already full of tears, and she left in a panic before she had time to explain to someone. She was crying and running to the hospital.
On that day, Li Ruiying did not remove her makeup, and the figure of rushing to the hospital anxiously in the live broadcast overalls was seen by many people.
When Li Ruiying rushed to the hospital, she saw that everyone in the family was standing outside the door of the operating room, and only she was the latest. "It's not out yet, don't worry too much, it's definitely okay"
Li Ruiying's husband Zhang Yuyan saw his wife's regret and helplessness, and he could only comfort his wife palely. Fortunately, God will treat serious people kindly, and Li Ruiying's son turned the crisis into safety and got out of danger.
Li Ruiying's choice that day was discovered by many people because of the rush, so many people said that she was "iron-blooded and ruthless" and a most ruthless mother.
But how could outsiders know Li Ruiying's mother's inner crying and struggle at that time?
Can she choose to leave the burden and not broadcast live, so that the program group will be scolded by the national audience together?
There are a lot of jobs that you can't do if you don't say you can't do it.
Li Ruiying has always insisted on conscientiously completing the work without mistakes for 28 years, in addition to her seriousness, it is inseparable from love.
Stick to your dreams and become a host
Li Ruiying's father was a soldier from Puyang, Henan Province, and his mother followed her father's job change with the army and eventually settled in Beijing. In 1961, Li Ruiying was born in Beijing Courtyard.
Because his father was a soldier, Li Ruiying was militarized with the children in the compound since he was a child. Like many parents who want their children to take over, Li Ruiying's father has always hoped to cultivate his daughter into a green flower in the army.
Li Ruiying has been very independent and excellent since she was a child, and as she grew older and participated in more activities, she found that she was most interested in broadcasting and hosting.
Her father has always hoped that she can choose a military school to serve the country, but Li Ruiying likes the feeling of being on the air host, on the one hand, her own hobbies, on the other hand, her parents' expectations, Li Ruiying is in a dilemma.
At that time, Li Ruiying's friend wanted to apply for the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, and seeing Li Ruiying so entangled, he persuaded her: "You can sign up for the interview first, let's try it together." ”
Li Ruiying then prepared a short essay and decided to try it with friends. But in the face of this national professional selection, she was still apprehensive and worried that she could not be selected.
Before the interview at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute began, Li Ruiying saw an old man at the school gate, and she decided to read the manuscript to the old man and let the old man hear her status.
Beijing Broadcasting Institute is Communication University of China
"You read very standard, you can apply to this school."
Li Ruiying thanked the old man for his affirmation of her and walked into the examination room confidently. But this old man she thinks is an ordinary old man, but one of the examiners who interviewed them, is Zhang Song, a titan in the broadcasting industry.
Although he felt that what happened just now was very shy, when he thought that he had actually been affirmed by one of the examiners, Li Ruiying became confident again.
Her interview results that day were very good, and Li Ruiying directly chose Beijing Broadcasting Institute when filling out the college entrance examination and was admitted with excellent results.
Li Ruiying participated in hosting many large-scale activities in college, and after graduating, Li Ruiying was assigned to Jiangsu Tai.
Newcomers have to start from miscellaneous, she learned to plan and edit in Jiangsu Tai and even ran through the exterior, no matter how difficult it is, Li Ruiying can always efficiently and perfectly complete the tasks assigned to her by the leader.
Her excellence was recognized by Taili, and in 1984, Li Ruiying got the opportunity to broadcast the military parade for the 35th anniversary of the National Day.
Later, she hosted programs such as "Look at the Present Dynasty" and "The Great Family of the Motherland", all of which received good responses.
In 1986, Li Ruiying received an olive branch from CCTV and officially became a member of CCTV.
Career and family dilemmas
When Li Ruiying's career entered the formal, she also entered the palace of marriage hand in hand with Zhang Yuyan.
Li Ruiying not only has a smooth career, but her love with her boyfriend from school uniform to wedding dress is also enviable by everyone.
She and Zhang Yuyan were childhood sweethearts, and the two who had a vague affection for each other finally confirmed their relationship in college. Two people really do it together, become proud of each other, become better people.
When he first entered CCTV, Li Ruiying also had doubts about his ability.
The hosts of CCTV are all excellent hosts of various local stations or school elites, and when they first arrived at CCTV, Li Ruiying found that his proud ability was only mediocre here.
She was also helpless, but under the comfort of her husband, the already proud Li Ruiying decided to work harder and prove herself among the elites.
She never leaves her dictionary every day, and she treasures every rare word and polyphonetic word; At the beginning of the preparation section, the relevant information will be collected in advance and memorized.
In order not to make mistakes, she is familiar with the classics of various countries and biographies of cultural figures. Every day in addition to work, she prepares for work.
But there will always be rewards for hard work, and in 1987, Li Ruiying became the broadcast host of CCTV's "News Network". She was present at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Asian Games and at the Spring Festival Gala.
Li Ruiying's excellence has been recognized by everyone, but she pays less attention to her family, which puts almost all her body and mind into work.
Li Ruiying became pregnant shortly after entering CCTV, and Li Ruiying at that time experienced the choice of many women in the workplace: "Have children or work." ”
After all, just entering a new environment will face great pressure, Li Ruiying is worried that not only will her work be affected after pregnancy, but she also does not want to rest too long after giving birth to take care of her children.
But soon Li Ruiying's concerns were broken by her husband, "My work intensity is not so great, I can take care of the children, you can concentrate on your work at that time." ”
Her husband's words gave Li Ruiying a boost in the arm, and she decided to give birth to a child. She gave birth to her son in 1987, the same year she was selected for the News Network.
Many people think that the work of "News Network" is so simple, it only takes 30 minutes, but this 30-minute broadcast requires a day of preparation.
Li Ruiying's work tasks have become heavier after entering "News Network", and she has many other tasks besides "News Network". Li Ruiying has little time to see her son.
From her son's babbling to her son's first parent-teacher meeting, her husband Zhang Yuyan attended, and her son later said sadly: "I have not seen my mother as many times as the audience in front of the TV station." ”
Li Ruiying also wants more time to spend with her son, but the work of the TV station is not as punctual as other jobs, too much suddenness and Li Ruiying's strong personality have led to her absence in the family.
In 1998, her son fell downstairs and fell into a coma, which made Li Ruiying not only criticized and commented by outsiders, but also suffered her heart, and she suddenly found that she had not paid attention to her son for a long time.
She knew she was doing the right thing that time, and that was responsibility. But every time she thinks back, she may not see her son because of this, and she is afraid again.
Li Ruiying decided to start gradually reducing her work and spending more time with her family.
status quo
Li Ruiying has pushed off half of his job since that incident and kept "News Network".
She knew that she could develop so fast in those years, in addition to her own efforts, she could not do without her husband's support.
Two sticks are supported and easy to fall, and the triangle is the most stable. Their family of three cannot always rely on their husbands to support themselves alone.
Li Ruiying decided to leave "News Network" in 2014 and retired in 2016.
Li Ruiying's hosting style is dignified and atmospheric, she once squatted in Xinjiang to accompany the working people to eat and live at the grassroots level and wrote "Kurban: My Destiny Follows Karez"
She has served as an Olympic torchbearer and interviewed European heads of state.
Li Ruiying reached the top of the domestic female host. She is fortunate to have a supportive family, and she is also happy to be able to enjoy a peaceful and beautiful life with her family after achieving fame.
