Life is unpredictable.
Before his death, he was a generation of "CCTV celebrities" full of honor.
I have worked hard for CCTV for 34 years.
He has presided over 10 consecutive sessions of the "3.15" party.
He has only been retired for 6 months, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief to retire in his old age.
But he died in the hospital in a blink of an eye.
Jing Yidan attended his funeral with tears in his eyes.
Chen Duo, who was older than him, sighed.
He is Zhao He.
Unfortunately, he suffered from cancer before he died.
But as long as he faces his wife who cries in front of the hospital bed every time, he still can't hide his guilt.
Struggled to leave a 40-word last word to him.
The words are full of blood, full of true feelings.
Those who heard it couldn't help but burst into tears.
What kind of words is this?
And what kind of person is Zhao He?
Let's find out.
Novices on the road, first taste of broadcasting
As an "excellent successor" of the roots, Zhao He has defeated many people since he was born.
He was born in 1961 in the imperial city of Beijing, "at the foot of the Son of Heaven", and he was very lucky.
Both parents are regular employees.
is also more open-minded, and he didn't interfere with Zhao He's free growth much when he was a child.
The family is not very wealthy, but it is not reduced to the point where it is difficult to make ends meet.
For him, eating and drinking is at least not worried.
With the development of puberty, Zhao He gradually grew into an old-looking, introverted and calm student.
The voice also became low and steady.
In middle school, he became a member of the radio station.
Sitting in front of the microphone and talking is a pleasure for him.
So naturally I became obsessed with recitation.
He also dreams of one day broadcasting in a real studio.
The first opportunity was also not long in coming.
When I was in high school, Fujian Cable TV went to their school to select talents.
At a glance, he fell in love with Zhao He, who was good-looking and tall.
So Zhao He took off his school uniform and changed into a military uniform.
Before graduating from high school, he became an announcer in the army.
Bad news at home, and the pursuit of dreams was forced to be interrupted
Recently.
His father suddenly fell seriously ill.
The high fever does not go away, and the physical condition is getting worse and worse.
Eventually, he passed away.
This is undoubtedly a painful blow to Zhao He's family.
My mother's heart was cut like a knife, and there was something wrong with her body.
Zhao He grew from a "boy" to a "man" overnight.
In order to take responsibility and provide for the family.
With tears in his eyes, he applied for discharge from the army and became a worker in the railroad bureau.
Every month's salary was given to his mother, and he only kept a little pocket money.
He has a simple personality, down-to-earth and capable.
Loved by everyone.
At that time, a colleague persuaded him to apply for university.
But he remained silent.
Buy some medicine and mild food to take home when you're fine.
Help your mother cover the quilt.
I'm afraid that she will suddenly leave her one day.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there is another turnaround
At that time, a girl appeared.
She was Zhao He's middle school classmate.
The two met by chance on the street.
After learning about the situation in Zhao He's family, the girl not only did not dislike it at all, but was also very moved by what he did.
took the initiative to take on the responsibility of helping Zhao He take care of his mother.
This girl is Zhao He's later wife.
She married him when he had nothing, without complaint or regret.
Bring water to cook and clean up the house.
Over and over again, he took the trouble to take care of his mother-in-law and take care of Zhao He's family affairs.
After her careful care, Zhao He's mother's health has also improved.
When the two were overjoyed, Zhao He's mother also persuaded Zhao He from the bottom of her heart:
"Son, treat this girl well."
Zhao He deeply remembered this.
Now that I see that my mother's illness has improved, I still have a "strong backing".
Zhao He decided to chase his dream again.
For a while, I practiced recitation day and night, and applied for the Broadcasting Department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute.
Later, it really lived up to expectations, and Zhao He was on the list.
God rewards diligence and climbs step by step
In the four years of college, Zhao He was like a person who had not drunk water in the desert for a long time.
He is very interested in seeking knowledge and presiding over work.
Not only did he work his professional studies, but he also found a lot of jobs as wedding emcees and temporary hosts of various events.
Practice your ability to deal with and control various emergencies.
The students basically didn't see him after class.
So they all joked that he was an "outdoor person".
The emperor lives up to his wishes.
Zhao He's efforts have paid off for him.
Before graduating, it attracted the attention of Beijing TV.
He was invited to be the host of the financial channel.
Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was introduced to the senior management of Central Television.
Although the age has exceeded the employment conditions, she was still left by the "Yang Princess".
Without saying a word, he was transferred directly from Beijing Taiwan.
In 1987, Zhao He hosted the "Old Bank" economic program on CCTV.
At that time, CCTV was planning a new economic talk show.
Zhao He took it over single-handedly, making this show successful "from scratch".
That is, the later "Economic Half Hour".
His dignified and steady hosting style is very suitable for this show.
After the show was launched, the ratings have also been good.
Accumulated a group of old audiences.
Among them, Jing Yidan met him in this show.
As Zhao He's old partner, Zhao He's professional ability makes her speechless.
If you do one thing for a long time, it will inevitably be annoying.
Later, Jing Yidan was also transferred to other programs, and Zhao He naturally changed a lot of new partners later.
"Economic Half Hour" can be described as "the partner of flowing water, the iron-clad Zhao He".
After that, he became more and more mature, and he personally served as a producer, planning the effect of the program from all aspects.
From the nineties to the millennium.
He also hosted a total of 10 consecutive 3.15 parties.
In the first 3 sessions, he personally wrote the script of the program.
Committed to exposing and exposing those black-hearted businessmen, so that they can get the punishment they deserve.
All of them won the "Golden Microphone" award, the highest award in the national hosting industry.
It has been respected and praised by consumers from all over the country.
I love cars
In life, Zhao He has no other hobbies.
I only like cars.
In 1994, he bought his first car.
It's a black Cherokee.
At that time, there were only two in the country.
Large space, practicality and form coexist.
Calm with a touch of coolness.
It is very much in line with Zhao He's positioning of his image.
For him, the car is his second face.
So I cherish it very much.
If you have nothing to do, you love to fiddle and tidy up your car.
Until the end of his life, the car did not run all 30,000 kilometers.
And he is also very busy with his usual work.
In addition to the host, the multiple identities of screenwriter and producer overwhelmed him.
I have been married for so many years, and I have never bought a house.
Huddled with his wife in the dormitory assigned by the unit.
His wife is well aware of his hard work outside.
Didn't say much about it.
Silently keep the home in order.
Don't ask for a rich and expensive economic base.
I just hope he comes home soon.
Zhao He was busy until late at night every day, and after getting off work, he saw a warm yellow lamp in the distance for him.
My heart is warm.
The relationship with his wife is even deeper.
Vows that sooner or later, one day, I will set aside enough time to spend well with my wife.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one.
Ordinary people will not know tomorrow or the unexpected, nor will they know which one will come first.
At that time, he never thought that he would leave his lover and take a step forward.
Persevered for 34 years, sick and tenacious
In 2018, Zhao He often felt uncomfortable when recording shows.
But he didn't say it to anyone.
I went home with my wife and quietly went to the hospital for a physical examination.
I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.
I got stomach cancer due to long-term work and irregular diet.
Because he is indeed older, his body is definitely not as good as those young people.
The doctor advised him to give up his job and recuperate.
But Zhao He continued to insist on working on the grounds that "they are about to retire and still toss around".
Usually rely on medicine to stabilize the condition.
Except for a few close relatives and friends who knew about it, he didn't make a big deal about it.
Every morning, I still arrive at my desk on time.
The appearance is as normal as usual.
Occasionally, his face is really bad, and his colleagues think that he is too tired.
Just like an "iron man", Zhao He still insisted on working for many years.
That's why, until his obituary was published, many acquaintances were shocked.
When he successfully retired in June 2021, Zhao He's already "fragmented" body was relaxed.
After retiring, he finally agreed to be "admitted" to the hospital.
Actively cooperate with anti-cancer treatment.
In order to take care of him, his wife guarded him day and night.
But Zhao He told her not to be so tired.
"It's time to take a break, I can take care of myself on my own."
Despite what he said, where could his wife listen.
After so many years of husband and wife relationship, the thought of one day may be "unexpectedly parting".
She couldn't stop crying.
The two have been married for many years and have no flesh and blood.
Zhao He came to the world, and the most reassuring thing since the death of his mother Xian is his wife.
For him, his wife is also his only remaining relative.
Every time he thought about this and the past, he felt guilty.
Before dying, he dragged his sick body and said his last words to his wife in 40 words:
"You've done so much for me and this family, and there's no chance of making it up to you. I feel guilty in my heart, and if there is a future life, I am willing to make up for it. ”
Such a sincere meaning can be sung and cried.
It's really "Yin and Yang are separated and there is nowhere to be found, only the sound of heartbreak is sad".
epilogue
Zhao He's death touched the entire news hosting industry.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in life.
All beings are equal before God.
Although he is gone, his voice and appearance are forever fixed in those old programs.
Here's wishing him all the best in heaven.
When you think about it, what we gain and what we lose in life is not something we can decide.
If the rest of your life is safe, then everything will be fine.
If you are unfortunate enough to get seriously ill, it is also fate, and you can't hide from it.
The only thing we can do is try to stay in a good mood until the last day.
Walk through this life happily.
Don't let yourself be left with regrets.
