Shui Junyi is a famous host of CCTV, who has hosted programs such as "Oriental Time and Space" and "Focus Interview", and became a household name in the 90s.
Leaving a suicide note at the outbreak of the war in Iraq, he rushed to work as a war correspondent on the front line, regardless of the danger to his life.
But why would such a responsible person be scolded by others as a "deserter"? Why would he abandon his "paralyzed" wife and marry a CCTV reporter who is thirteen years younger than himself after he has achieved fame?
01
In 1963, Shui Junyi was born in a scholarly family in Lanzhou, Gansu, his grandfather was the director of the Gansu Provincial Department of Education before liberation, his father was a professor of Russian at Lanzhou University, and his uncle Shui Tongtian was also a professor at Lanzhou University.
When Shui Junyi was born, his father was already in his forties, and he was considered to be an old man, and Shui Junyi had two older brothers and an older sister at home, and as the youngest brother, he was pampered at home.
But this happy life did not last long, in that era, the father's birth made their family unfair treatment, the father was deprived of teaching qualifications, every day responsible for cleaning the toilets of Lanzhou University.
During that special period, their homes were the focus of attention, and people went to their homes every day to "smash and grab". His eldest brother was also mentally stimulated by this time and suffered from epilepsy.
Although there have been changes in the family, Shui Junyi's father still attaches great importance to education, and has taught Shui Junyi from an early age that "knowledge changes destiny", and said that no matter how poor he is, he cannot be poor in education.
Shui Junyi is also very smart, and his grades in the class are at the top.
Shui Junyi was originally a science subject in high school, but in the first four months before the college entrance examination, Shui Junyi suddenly changed his mind and wanted to apply for the liberal arts.
Applying for liberal arts requires good English, and Shui Junyi's English was relatively weak at that time.
In order to be able to get satisfactory results, Shui Jun made up English no matter day and night, and it took only four months for Shui Junyi to take the second place in the liberal arts and the first place in English in Gansu Province during the college entrance examination.

Shui Junyi then applied for the English Chinese Literature major at Lanzhou University, and after graduating from university in 1984, Shui Junyi joined Xinhua News Agency and became a newspaper reporter.
Since Shui Junyi joined the work, he has put all his energy into his work.
Until 1990, when he was sitting in a car, Shui Junyi's notebook landed on the taxi, and a strange girl called him that night and asked him if he had lost something, and this girl was Wang Jun. Shui Junyi found that the notebook he was carrying with him was missing.
So the two of them met in a café, and after meeting, the two talked happily, became friends, and later developed into lovers.
In 1991, Shui Junyi proposed to Wang Jun, and after Wang Jun agreed, the two soon got married.
Wang Jun was born in Beijing in a family of intellectuals and also had his own career, but in order to let Shui Junyi have no worries and work with peace of mind, Wang Jun was willing to return to the family, take care of his parents, sort out the housework, and keep the family in order.
Until 1993, Shui Junyi encountered a turning point in his career, because Shui Junyi went to the front line for many years, was very sensitive to international news, and his excellent work was noticed by CCTV, so CCTV invited him to host a magazine-type news program "Oriental Time and Space".
After learning this news, Shui Junyi was very excited, because there was no hosting experience, Shui Junyi often secretly practiced hosting in the room, just after recording the first program, Shui Junyi sent a telegram to his parents at home, reminding them to watch it in time.
Due to the good response of "Oriental Time and Space", Shui Junyi served as the host of "Focus Interview".

In 2003, when the war between Iraq and the United States broke out, Shui Junyi was reluctant to sit in the studio to host the show and applied to go to Iraq to work as a war correspondent.
Since Shui Junyi had many experiences in field interviews, CCTV approved his request.
Because the risk factor of this work is extremely high, CCTV has bought insurance for all the staff who went to Iraq.
Shui Junyi was also ready for sacrifice and wrote a suicide note to his family in advance.
At the height of the war between Iraq and the United States, Shui Junyi received a notice of withdrawal from the Chinese Embassy in Iraq.
In order to stay, Shui Junyi wrote a letter to the CCTV leader every day, and it was seven or eight pages in one writing, but the leader insisted on letting her come back.
In order to protect the personal safety of the front-line journalists, he was required to retreat.
Shui Junyi saw that this method did not work, so he had to say that his passport could not be found, and deliberately cut off the signal with the embassy, but Shui Junyi was still found and eventually forced to be brought back.
At this time, Lu Qiuluwei, a female reporter of Phoenix Satellite TV, disregarded the danger of her life and came to Baghdad City to report the latest news of the war between Iraq and the United States in a timely manner, and Lu Qiuluwei was also the only Chinese female reporter to report on the spot.
After learning of these news, netizens have scolded Shui Junyi as a "CCTV deserter", but no one knows that Shui Junyi's withdrawal is also involuntary.
After returning to China, Shui Junyi was still worried about the Iraq War, shui Junyi once again found the leader to apply for a return to Iraq, the leader originally did not agree, but Shui Junyi said:
"You see, Lu Qiu Luwei and a woman can report in the battlefield, am I a big man is not as good as a woman, and Phoenix TV is still reporting live, but CCTV does not have any news, that is not laughed at by others."
In this way, Shui Junyi finally returned to Iraq as he wished, wearing several pounds of body armor every day, shuttling through the rain of bullets and bullets, collecting materials everywhere, often not enough to eat, and could only drink water to fill his hunger.
Once a bomb exploded a few steps away from him, and before the white eyes had dissipated, Shui Junyi ran out to shoot.
When the war was over, Shui Junyi returned home, Wang Jun hugged Shui Junyi and cried, Shui Junyi saw that his wife was so sad and blamed himself, patted Wang Jun's back and said: "It will not be like this in the future." ”
But these netizens do not know that although Shui Junyi is known as the "famous mouth" of CCTV, he is articulate and logical, but he is too lazy to defend himself.
It was not until many years later that Shui Junyi wrote an autobiography, "Yi Xiang Qian", in which he mentioned this matter, and the insult he bore for many years was clarified.

After returning from the Iraqi front, Shui Junyi began to preside over the work again, presided over the "High-end Visit", and slowly gained a foothold on CCTV.
Although his career was successful, Shui Junyi's family suffered some changes, and in 2007 Wang Jun was paralyzed by an accident.
Shui Junyi's father also died shortly after, and Shui Junyi took them to Beijing to facilitate the care of his mother and his elder brother with limited mobility.
Wang Jun felt that Shui Junyi had already worked hard to take care of them and did not want to drag Shui Junyi any longer, so he filed for divorce with him.
Shui Junyi also chose to respect Wang Jun's decision, and after the divorce, Shui Junyi chose to leave the house and said to Wang Jun:
"Although we are no longer husband and wife, we have lived for more than ten years, and we are still relatives, and you will tell me if you have any difficulties in the future."
Netizens who do not know the truth, after learning that Shui Junyi and his "paralyzed" wife divorced, scolded Shui Junyi as a "negative man" and "contemporary Chen Shimei".
Shui Junyi did not respond to these rumors, but his daughter responded in public many times, saying that her parents broke up peacefully, and there was no such thing as "abandoning his wife and daughter".

In September 2008, Shui Junyi and sports journalist Yang Di were invited to be guests of the car rally to cover the event, and the day before the opening ceremony, the organizer invited the two of them to dinner together.
On the way back to the hotel, Yang Di felt that his face and body were particularly itchy, and his hands scratched his body and was red and swollen.
Shui Junyi said, "You must be allergic to seafood." Yang Di said, "Then what to do, how to be photogenic tomorrow?" Shui Junyi did not speak and got out of the car directly.
Back at the hotel, Shui Junyi knocked on Yang Di's door, handed her a box of allergy treatment pills, and said: "Take one pill, tomorrow will be as beautiful as ever." ”
Yang Di looked breathless, his face was still hanging with sweat, and his heart was unspeakably moved. Yang Di regarded Yang Di as an idol when he was in school, and now he has more worship.
Back in Beijing, the two became increasingly close, often eating together. Shui Junyi is also full of spring light, smiling every day. One day Bai Yansong looked at him with a smile on his face and asked, "Lao Shui, have you won the lottery recently, and you are so happy every day." ”
Shui Junyi replied, "No, am I not the same as before?" Although Shui Junyi did not say it, he knew in his heart that it was because of Yang Di himself that he would be so happy every day.
Shui Junyi is 13 years older than Yang Di, married again, and has a daughter, while Yang Di has not yet been married. Shui Junyi was afraid that Yang Di would not accept him, so he cut off the two buttons on his sleeve to test Yang Di's heart for himself.
Shui Junyi found Yang Di and said, "Hey, it's too difficult to live alone, and I don't know if that woman will be willing to sew buttons for me in the future." ”
Yang Di understood Shui Junyi's subtext and said shyly: "A good man like you, I don't know what kind of girl can be worthy." ”
As soon as Shui Junyi heard that Yang Di was also interested in himself, he quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Di, although I have been divorced, I really like you, are you willing to accept me?" ”
Yang Di nodded shyly.
After determining the relationship, Shui Junyi took Yang Di to see his mother, and learned that he was going to see his "mother-in-law", and Yang Di went to buy a lot of supplements for Shui Junyi's mother.
Arriving at Shui Junyi's mother's house, the jellyfish was still busy cooking, Yang Di consciously went to the jellyfish to lay hands, and after eating, he also rushed to clean up the housework.
After Yang Di left, the jellyfish said to her son: "Xiao Yang is such a good girl, you can treat her well." Shui Junyi said to his mother, "I don't need you to say it, I will too." ”
Shui Junyi often went to other places for business trips due to work reasons, and when Shui Junyi was not in Beijing, Yang Di went to visit Shui Junyi's mother and eldest brother at both ends of the three days.
Once Yang Di had just come to the jellyfish's house, Shui Junyi's eldest brother had a seizure, lying on the ground, spitting out white foam in his mouth, and twitching his limbs, which frightened Yang Di.
Yang Di reacted immediately, helped the jellyfish use chopsticks to pry open the mouth of the eldest brother to feed the medicine, and then sent him to the hospital.
After this incident, the jellyfish liked Yang Di even more. Urging Shui Junyi and Yang Di to marry, he also gave Shui Junyi many times and said:
"Last time, thanks to Yang Di, you sent your eldest brother to the hospital in time, otherwise I really can't cope with an old woman, you are not young, and you will get married in time."
Soon the two held a wedding, and in 2012, Yang Di also gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Shui Junyi.
Everyone will be misunderstood, everyone also has the right to pursue happiness, can not be because Shui Junyi is a CCTV host, maliciously amplify his misunderstanding.
Nowadays, in order to leave the opportunity for more young people, Shui Junyi has reduced his appearance rate, but there are some well-known leaders or international dignitaries who come, and Shui Junyi will still come out to do interviews.
Finally, I wish Mr. Shui Junyi good health and a happy life!
