Xinhua News Agency reporter Sun Hao was interviewed at the White House during his permanent residence in the United States
Listen, this melody, everyone must be very familiar. In particular, this sentence, "Internacionale must be realized." And I, whenever I hear this, I think of an old man. She is the old predecessor of our Xinhua News Agency, and she is also a banner in the hearts of our foreign correspondents -- Qu Duyi.
The old man is 100 years old this year, the same age as our party. In the course of our many interviews with her, she was always low-key, indifferent, and reluctant to talk much about the glory of her youth. But no matter how trembling her voice and no longer physical strength, she could still sing this sentence clearly - "Internacional must be realized."
This is not only a song translated by her father Qu Qiubai, but also a song in her heart as a Xinhua reporter.
After the manuscript of the interview with Qu Lao was sent, I wrote down my heart in the WeChat circle of friends: "Pure faith, eternal youth, true and amiable people." In a year that was very special for both macro and personal, this was a bloody interview. ”
72 years ago, at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Elder Qu first broadcast the news of the founding of New China to the world in Russian through the radio. In that second, the name of the People's Republic of China spread out and became a wonderful freeze frame in world history.
This year, on the day the "July 1st Medal" was awarded, she was not able to go to the scene in person and accept the honor. And I know that in the old man's heart, the highest honor is the party emblem on her chest that she pointed at when she interviewed us.
Whether she was arrested and imprisoned by warlords in the face of the enemy's threats and inducements, or went overseas to set up a Xinhua News Agency reporter station, she never forgot in the 85 years of participating in revolutionary work and 75 years after joining the Communist Party of China, fighting for the truth and fighting for the interests of the country and the nation.
An international song, through the years, we can only move forward with determination and live up to the glory of our predecessors.
Listen, this is another familiar song - "I am a soldier".
13 years ago, at a nursing home in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, I accompanied the American David Kerr and found the old man in the picture, his name is Li Shi. He was 78 years old, in a wheelchair, and spoke somewhat vaguely. Until he sang, "I am a soldier, from the common people."
After listening to the translation, David hugged the old man. He knew that he had finally fulfilled his father's last wish.
Li Shi was his father's savior.
It was during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and David's father, Lieutenant Donald Kerr, joined the American Flying Tigers to support the Chinese anti-Japanese resistance. Once, he flew a plane to raid the Kai Tak airport in Hong Kong, which was occupied by the Japanese army at that time, and the fighter was unfortunately hit, and he parachuted to survive. As he watched, the Japanese soldiers surrounded him, but he was carried by a 14-year-old guerrilla and escaped from the siege all the way. Later, the guerrillas circled the enemy for more than 20 days and finally sent Donald to safety.
At that time, the first teenager to rescue him was Li Shi.
After the war, Donald returned to the United States and repeatedly mentioned the "Chinese benefactor". He searched for many years, but he did not succeed, leaving this last wish to his son. As I watched, David put an armband into Li Shi's hand, which was embroidered with a tiger with wings waiting to fly. That was the entrustment of the father, and even more so the entrustment of history.
On that day, I wrote in the report: "As history goes on, personal memories begin to call for some form of undertaking." History, in the hands of the next generation, extends. ”
"I'm a soldier, from the common people." Maybe David couldn't understand the song the old man sang, but he certainly understood, beyond borders and all languages, the song of the heart.
Hello everyone, I am Sun Hao of the International Department and a member of the international news reporting front of Xinhua News Agency.
In the past eighteen years, I have traveled to more than 10 countries and regions in the United States, France, Japan, India, Vietnam, Nepal, etc., and interviewed people of all colors and all walks of life. Although the requirements, environment and conditions of my work have undergone earth-shaking changes from when Qu Lao was stationed abroad, we are also telling the world about the real, three-dimensional, and comprehensive China.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Sun Hao participated in the report on the Chinese leader's visit to the Philippines
In Manila, Philippines, a group of children turned to me and sang in Chinese, "Friends have never been alone, a friend you will understand..."
In Rome, Italy, I read a poem written by a middle school student in Chinese: "I see in the garden, not only green, but all spring." ”
In Kathmandu, Nepal, local craftsmen and Chinese experts work together to repair world heritage sites damaged in the earthquake, with the sound of percussions and wind chimes interweaving a melody of beauty and beauty.
I still remember when I was stationed in the United States, I listened to former U.S. President Carter use a small story to tell his heart of exchanges and cooperation.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Sun Hao interviewed former US President Carter while he was stationed in the United States
It was the beginning of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and one day, at 3 a.m., he was called in his sleep by a Phone Call from a White House official who was visiting Beijing. Mr. Deng Xiaoping asked whether the president would like to let American universities accept 5,000 Chinese students. Carter immediately replied, please tell Mr. Deng Xiaoping, 100,000 can also be!
Looking back on these past events, it is to better look to the future. In recent years, the international situation has changed, the world pattern has evolved, contradictions and conflicts have continued, the epidemic of the century has been superimposed, and the voice of the same voice and harmony has been precious and more inspiring. For us, the news people who work the international public opinion front, use the news to carry morality, advocate justice, and convey love, interpret the world for China, and also interpret China for the world, so that more people can work with one heart and one mind, and sing a song of world peace and development.
That's what our mission is all about.
It occurred to me that nearly a hundred years ago, Qu Qiubai deliberately used transliteration, rather than paraphrasing, to translate the word in the Internationale, "Internacionale." Isn't this the best interpretation of "harmony"?
Deputy Director of the Multimedia Editing Center of the International Department of Xinhua News Agency, former reporter of the Asia-Pacific Branch and the Washington Branch, has covered and reported in more than ten countries and regions, participated in major theme reports such as the tenth anniversary of The return of Hong Kong and the tenth anniversary of the return of Macao, major international news reports such as the US presidential election, and participated in exclusive interviews with former US President Carter, Harvard University Professor Vogel and other political experts.
