"The economy is concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood for half an hour, and the anti-counterfeiting 315 is devoted to the fake and the true, and deeply mourns and deeply misses Mr. Zhao He."
As soon as CCTV host Zhang Zequn posted this article on social platforms, the news of the death of Mr. Zhao He, who was regarded as CCTV's "golden microphone", quickly appeared on the hot search.
The news came very suddenly, and viewers who often pay attention to the financial channel know that Zhao He has been the host of "Economic Half Hour", and has hosted the "315" party for ten consecutive years.
has a good reputation in the minds of the audience, and at this time, Zhao He has just retired from CCTV for less than a year, and many viewers are puzzled, why did he suddenly pass away in his prime?
1. Work with illness and speak for the people
According to a close friend of Zhao He's life, he had been suffering from cancer many years ago.
Due to his special work, in order to write a perfect manuscript, his office often has the lights on in the early hours of the morning.
After the cancer was detected, his wife advised him to retire early.
But he was reluctant to work in the broadcasting career for many years, and decided to hide from his colleagues and the audience and insist on working in front of the screen.
His love for broadcasting has always touched his colleagues, even though he is a front-stage worker and often goes deep into the front line to investigate behind the scenes.
The well-known 315 party is the program he created, which has exposed countless commercial shady scenes since its broadcast and fought for the rights and interests of many consumers.
Zhao He has repeatedly chatted with friends and said that the news industry is not only to deliver news to the public, but more importantly, to expose the facts and convey positive energy for the people.
After learning that he had cancer, he continued to work with illness for many years.
It wasn't until 2019 that he made his last public appearance on the Economic Half-Hour program.
At this time, his condition had worsened, and his wife persuaded him to quit the show again, and many times he couldn't eat when he came back from work.
His wife sighed again and again when she looked at him, and under the persuasion of his wife, he finally figured out how to retire, and wanted to enjoy his old age after leaving CCTV.
Unexpectedly, fate is always unfair, and only 6 months after retirement, Zhao He, who has been battling cancer for many years, left with regrets.
Second, the legend of a lifetime touches people's hearts
Zhao He's talent for broadcasting has been evident since he was a child, and he is a native of Beijing.
As a teenager, he often showed his interests in front of his family, and he was fluent in Mandarin and showed his acting talent.
is often praised by relatives and friends, "I must cultivate it well, and I will be a good seedling for broadcasting in the future".
Hearing the praise of adults, Zhao He was greatly encouraged, and since then he has often participated in various hosting activities at school.
After school, he would also practice repeatedly at home with the manuscript, and his parents saw that he was very interested and always wanted to find an opportunity for him to receive a professional education.
In his junior year of high school, by chance, he learned that the radio station was recruiting announcers, and he boldly signed up.
Compared with other candidates, he has already had a deep foundation. With years of practice, as expected, he was successfully selected.
After that, Zhao He entered the army radio station and became the pride of his parents.
However, success did not happen overnight, and when his job was just stable, family changes hit him hard at a young age.
When the news came that his father was seriously ill, he returned home as soon as possible.
Seeing his skinny father lying on the hospital bed, Zhao He made a heavy decision - to resign and go home, and do his filial piety before bed.
After returning to his hometown, Zhao He has been accompanying his father, and his father, who is seriously ill, feels guilty because his son quit his job.
In order to reassure his parents, he found a job close to home, taking care of the family while earning money to treat his father's illness.
But his father eventually passed away, which hit him and his mother hard.
In the past, in order to take care of his father, he often ran between the two sides of the hospital, but after his father left, he suddenly lost his mind.
During that time, he was often very disappointed, and he couldn't get interested in work, thinking of his father's deathbed instructions, he decided to return to school again and began to prepare for Nortel's broadcasting department at home.
On the day he received the acceptance letter, he called his mother as soon as possible.
The mother couldn't cry on the phone, and the boy who stood in front of the mirror with a speech in his childhood and practiced repeatedly finally stood on the pyramid of dreams at this moment.
At that time, the dream of the teenager had quietly bloomed and entered the door of Nortel.
He really started his broadcasting career, and after several years of professional study, after graduation, he got his wish and entered the formal unit to work.
Over the years at CCTV, he has created many legendary programs and has become a pillar of CCTV.
At first, he worked behind the scenes when he entered CCTV, and in 1987, Zhao He began to serve as the host of "Economic Half Hour".
At first, the name of the show was "Comprehensive Economic Information", which sounded obscure and incomprehensible like the name, and the ratings were not very optimistic.
Due to the cumbersome content and the audience's reputation is not very high, many hosts are reluctant to take over this show.
But Zhao He has been trying his best to add his own hosting style, turning the original empty hosting words into more down-to-earth colloquialisms, and the easy-to-understand hosting style is easier for the audience to understand.
The program was also changed from its original name to "Economic Half Hour" and has been used ever since.
Through Zhao He's efforts, the ratings of this show have remained high, and the audience has become more extensive, and it has become CCTV's trump card program for many years.
In the face of such a broadcasting genius, many programs want to poach him and jump ship, but Zhao He did not waver in the face of high remuneration.
The purpose of his insistence on journalism is to bring the true voice to thousands of households.
It wasn't until 1991 that the new program "315 Gala" planned by Zhao He came into the audience's eyes again.
The 315 party is a hot topic every year, and after educational institutions, medical plastic surgery, real estate, catering, and irregularities in many fields were exposed, this show quickly became popular.
The rights and interests of consumers have been protected, and the cases exposed involve all aspects of life, and Zhao He has truly spoken for the people.
It was this show that he poured a lot of effort into, and like the young announcer, he often went deep into the front-line interviews.
Then he came back to write late at night, and it was also at this time that his body had buried a hidden danger for cancer.
He was diagnosed with stomach cancer during a physical examination, and for many years he often ate irregularly, and every time he had an upset stomach, his wife brought her a bowl of stomach-warming porridge.
After receiving the confirmed case, his wife often washed his face with tears, and the doctor also advised him to leave his job to recuperate.
Zhao He felt that he had worked all his life, and seeing that he was about to retire, he wanted to continue working until the last moment.
Choose conservative treatment first, and then systematic treatment after retirement. His wife couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Zhao He and his wife met at a young age, and their relationship has exceeded material. After Zhao He was diagnosed with stomach cancer, his wife directly became his dietitian.
Stomach cancer is very particular about diet, and my wife has bought a lot of books, and often looks at how to make nutritional pairings for stomach cancer patients in the middle of the night.
It was his wife who gave him a solid backing again and again, so Zhao Hehe had no worries.
When he was young, Zhao He was busy with work, and his wife has always taken care of the family wholeheartedly.
He often failed to return home on time, and even on Chinese New Year's Eve, he did not catch up with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for many years, and his wife not only did not complain, but often left him a hot meal.
The two have not bought a house since they got married, and many viewers do not understand why a person with a prominent reputation has such a low pursuit of material things after working for 34 years and never buying a house?
In fact, the reason behind it is amazing, he has always had a very indifferent attitude towards the house.
He felt that people should not live for fame or fortune or material things, and should put a lot of money on the spiritual level, so until retirement age, he lived in the house allocated by the unit.
After Zhao He hosted the last episode of the show, he finished handing over the last work, and he thought that he could finally spare a lot of time to spend with his wife.
But unfortunately, God left him less than half a year.
3. Retired for half a year and passed away with regret
"You have paid too much for me and this family, I have no chance to compensate you, I feel very guilty, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to try my best to make up for it. ”
Just 40 words was the last paragraph he said before he grabbed his wife's hand before leaving, and his wife said in his ear: I am worth it to be able to accompany you in this life.
In the past, he always wanted to spend his old age with his wife after retirement, but in just 6 months, his condition worsened, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to everyone.
It turned out that his colleagues who had worked with him for many years were also shocked to learn of the disappearance.
On the day of the farewell ceremony of his body was held in Babaoshan, many residents also lined up with white flowers to see him off for the last time.
Jing Yidan, who used to be his partner, couldn't cry when he was interviewed, and his good partner who had a tacit understanding at the beginning can only pray that he will not be sick in heaven.
Zhao He has tried his best in the face of work in his life, but he is only ashamed of his wife.
In his last words, he said that although the work is hard, the family is the most important.
His glory and success are insignificant in the face of his wife's efforts.
After his death, his wife remained at the home where they had lived, and she carefully wiped down her husband's belongings every day in front of a house full of belongings.
When the reporter came to interview, she took out her husband's workbook, which contained Zhao He's notes before his death, all of which were written about his wife's guilt.
The wife said that only in this home can she feel her husband's company, and this life is too short, and she left before she had time to get along.
