She is the first female anchor of CCTV's "News Network" and is known for her outstanding business ability.
Although her academic qualifications are not prominent, she has been able to achieve a zero-mistake broadcast record in her 28-year career.
She is the highly praised Xing Zhibin.
In the "News Network" in the 80s, there was such a saying: "Xing Zhibin, the iron-clad Xing Zhibin, the male host of flowing water." It can be seen that if Xing Zhibin hadn't taken the initiative to retire, CCTV might not have been able to give up this outstanding talent.
However, he is such a well-known and excellent host, but after his retirement, he encountered the question of "not guaranteeing the late season".
In the 70s, all walks of life in China were still in a stage of vigorous development, and there was a relative shortage of professional talents, and CCTV also faced the same problem.
In order to find a qualified host, Beijing TV has made great efforts. By chance, Song Peifu, the head of the recording section, heard a sound that was round and smooth on the village radio.
The owner of this voice is none other than Xing Zhibin, who later became a famous host of CCTV.
At that time, Song Peifu did not immediately look for the broadcaster. However, by chance, after he returned to the unit, his colleague Li Maofu recommended him a broadcaster.
When the announcer spoke, Song Peifu immediately recognized the familiar voice. She is Xing Zhibin, a girl who was sent to the countryside when she was preparing to take the university entrance examination.
Since there was a dire need for a broadcaster in the village, and she read a lot and had a good voice, she was recommended for the position. After a long period of practice, Xing Zhibin's broadcasting skills have gradually become perfect.
Xing Zhibin's talent was recognized by Song Peifu, and he had the opportunity to co-host "News Network" with senior host Zhao Zhongxiang. Although Zhao Zhongxiang's hosting skills are profound, Xing Zhibin is still not inferior when working with him, and the two have formed a good tacit understanding.
Later, Zhao Zhongxiang left "News Network", and the audience was full of worries about Xing Zhibin's cooperation with his new partner. However, these fears quickly dissipated.
CCTV's strict selection mechanism and Xing Zhibin's excellent business ability make her cooperation with her new partner still excellent.
In his 28-year career, Xing Zhibin set a record of zero mistakes. She is dedicated to her work and has remained at her post even when she reaches retirement age. However, a sudden change of events made her start to replan her life.
In 2008, Luo Jing, a partner who cooperated with Xing Zhibin tacitly, suddenly reported that he had cancer and passed away soon after.
Luo Jing's death is not unrelated to excessive dedication, which also made Xing Zhibin begin to reflect on his life plan. So, in July 2009, 61-year-old Xing Zhibin ended the job he loved and ushered in retirement.
After retirement, Xing Zhibin enjoys the joy of his children and grandchildren around his knees, and his life is full and happy. She also occasionally participates in talk shows to share her experiences and insights.
However, an unexpected endorsement incident pushed her to the forefront. Some netizens found that she had endorsed a food company, which contradicted her previous statement on the show that she would not endorse any advertisements.
For a time, doubts such as "sanctimoniousness" and "inconsistent words and deeds" came and went.
Faced with the pressure of public opinion, Xing Zhibin chose to remain silent. She knew that no amount of explanation would help at this point. Finally, the truth was revealed.
It turned out that the video she recorded was not an advertising endorsement, but was invited by a sincere food factory owner to send a special surprise to the employees in the factory.
Unfortunately, the video was leaked out and sparked a misunderstanding. Although the turmoil had an impact on Xing, she did not blame anyone and continued to live her retirement.
As time passed, Xing Zhibin gradually faded out of public view. It wasn't until October 2023 that netizens learned about her recent situation from the photos released by the CCTV host.
Although Xing Zhibin in the photo is full of gray hair, his mental state is still vibrant. Seeing her changes, netizens couldn't help but feel the ruthlessness of the years, and at the same time admired her tenacity and open-mindedness.
