Modern Express News (Reporter Xu Suning/Wen Shi Xianghui/Photo) From October 18th to 20th, "To the Times, Respect for the Future-Modern Express 25th Anniversary Readers' Festival" was held in Laomendong, Nanjing. On the afternoon of October 19th, in front of the huge screen on the front page of Modern Express, the Internet celebrity check-in point in Laomendong, an old couple, Guo Ziliang and Deng Xuelan, came. They also brought two newspapers with them.
One of them is the Modern Express for the day of October 19, 2024. Guo Ziliang, 83, told reporters that he is a loyal reader of Modern Express. The moment he received the newspaper, the front page attracted his attention, "It's the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Express, I must come to the scene to see it, and I also want to come and chat with the reporters." So, together with his wife, he specially rushed to the east of the old gate from the central gate.
The other newspaper in Guo Ziliang's hand had long since turned yellow. The reporter noted that it was the Modern Express on February 16, 2006. "This is written by reporter Li Gu." At the scene, Guo Ziliang and his "old friend" Li Gu met. Guo Ziliang recognized Li Gu at a glance, pointed to the newspaper page and said, "This is you in this photo." ”
The feeling of being remembered by readers touched Li Gu. The two recalled the bits and pieces of the year on the spot. "At that time, the TV series "Kung Fu Champion" was on the air, and we held a "Kung Fu Champion" martial arts competition, and invited the director to be a judge." Li Gu recalled that Guo Ziliang also signed up for the competition and was still the oldest player on the scene, so even after 18 years, he was still impressed.
"I was 65 years old." Guo Ziliang told the Modern Express reporter that after retiring in 2001, he began to practice Taijiquan, and by the time he participated in the "Kung Fu Champion" martial arts competition, he had already had five years of skills.
Subsequently, Guo Ziliang and his wife took two newspapers 18 years apart, and took photos in the same frame with the huge large screen on the front page of Modern Express. "Over the years, I have been paying attention to Modern Express, and I have also witnessed the growth of Modern Express, and I wish Modern Express better and better in the future!" Guo Ziliang sent his blessings to the express.
