The 911 incident was enough to change the political landscape of the world, and the United States immediately launched a war on terror against Afghanistan that year, teaching a lesson to the enemies who dared to provoke the United States. As the guns in Afghanistan ceased, the second Gulf War was launched against Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq on the grounds that it possessed weapons of mass destruction.

At a time when Russia is weakened and China is in obscurity, the United States has become the de facto global hegemon, followed by the European Union, Japan, South Korea and other younger brothers, and has begun to fight whoever it says on the earth.

Ignoring international political mediation, the United States dispatched its navy, land, and air forces to wage a war of subversion against Iraq, which had been under international blockade for many years, in an effort to bring Iraq under its control.

The fragile Saddam regime was defeated by a blow, and countless generals defected to the powerful US military, and after nearly a month of military operations, the US military occupied the entire territory of Iraq, and Saddam Hussein fled and disappeared.

Drawing on the negative impact of the amplification of media communication during the first Gulf War, then US President George H.W. Bush won the war but lost the presidency. George W. Bush, the son, took strong measures to control journalists in a similar war a decade later. After the remnants of resistance were cleared, the United States invited a handful of international journalists to set foot on the aircraft carrier fleet and come to Iraq to cover the scene.

Of course, the list of selected reporters was selected, and Song Qing from Phoenix Satellite TV was qualified to be the only Chinese media interviewer, which is related to the friendly relationship she established with the White House during the 911 incident.

"Song Qing studied at Columbia University in the United States, performed well during the 911 incident, and she has a huge influence in the Chinese media circle. ”

As a result, the White House media director included Song Qing in the list of reporters accompanying the Iraqi military in the United States.

Only by landing on the deck of a US aircraft carrier by a military helicopter can Song Qing truly feel the unparalleled military strength of the United States. This was the first time she had boarded the main killer feature of modern warfare, with a huge escort fleet and constant take-off and landing fighters, which made her dumbfounded. China still does not have its own aircraft carriers, while the United States has more than a dozen of them, which is enough to be proud of the world. She has just taken off her white protective suit in China, and now she has put on a bullet proof vest and traveled to the distant Middle East Gulf region.

"Welcome, let me explain the interview discipline that you must abide by next......"

The head of the media accompanying the military came forward to receive more than 30 reporters from the world's major media outlets, and tomorrow they will land in Iraq to cover the field and rest on the aircraft carrier in the evening.

In the cabin of the aircraft carrier like a steel fortress on the sea, Song Qing has been tossing and turning, and the sound of the whistling sea breeze has been heard in his ears. Tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, recalling the recent bits and pieces, she decided to return to China this time, so she agreed to Han Hao's request to invite dinner.

Under the arrangement of the US military, Song Qing and others took a military helicopter and set foot on the land of Iraq, which had just been invaded by war.

In the first city, there were heavily armed American soldiers, and ordinary Iraqi civilians on the roadside had blank and frightened expressions in their eyes, not knowing where the country was going in the future.

Remnants of heavy fighting can be seen in the city, many buildings have been blown down, and the area is still under strict wartime control.

Sitting on the bus prepared by the US military for reporters, there are roadblocks and checkpoints every few kilometers, and you can see bombed-out tanks and cars not far from the roadside.

"The U.S. military has completed the de facto occupation of Iraq and is now preparing to restore the post-war order. In response to the arrival of American troops and the overnight change of dynasty, many Iraqis have not yet become accustomed to such a sudden change.

The first thing I felt when I came here was that the war was ruthless, and the biggest victims were innocent ordinary people. Only when we come to the battlefield can we know the preciousness of peace and the happiness of our country's stable situation. ”

Song Qing began to send out her first news release after setting foot on Iraqi soil.

……

Under the arrangement of the US military, Song Qing and others finally came to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, where there will be sporadic gunshots and explosions from time to time, indicating that this is a dangerous city.

"We don't have enough law and order, and these are some cases of shootings due to robbery, theft, etc., which will be resolved when the new Iraqi police force is established. ”

The local US military officer who led the reporter on the tour said.

In front of the giant statue of Saddam Hussein, which was toppled by the Iraqi people, the picture of this statue falling to the ground is very much in line with the description of the situation in Iraq today.

When Song Qing and other reporters were preparing to interview and shoot, suddenly a car rushed over the checkpoint, followed by a huge explosion. Although the bullet armor blocked a lot of shrapnel, Song Qing was still shocked by the sudden wave of air, and fell to the side so hard that he could no longer move, and the bright red blood between his black hair was slowly flowing.

Life is so impermanent, the explosion instantly took Song Qing's young life, and she became the 19th journalist to die in the line of duty since the outbreak of the second Gulf War.

Song Qing's short life has fulfilled her vow to dedicate herself to the career of a journalist, but unfortunately she has not had time to do many things, such as agreeing to attend someone's dinner invitation.

News of the bomb attack on the US press corps quickly circulated on the Internet, in which three journalists were killed at the scene, six journalists were seriously injured, and about 10 journalists were slightly injured.

When Song Qing's name appeared on the death list, all the people who liked her and watched her show didn't want to believe that it was true, and this beautiful and generous beauty reporter left the world like this.

Song Qing died unexpectedly on the battlefield, which became the biggest news in the Chinese world that day.

Phoenix Satellite TV, as well as CCTV, where she once worked, paid tribute and mourned to her in the program, saying that she was a model for all media workers.

When Han Hao heard the news, his brain went blank, and he hurriedly checked the Internet to hope that this was not real news, just a spoof or rumor by everyone.

Seeing that the mainstream authoritative media websites in China have published this news, especially the Phoenix Satellite TV website has been made into a black-and-white mode, with a page specially left on it to commemorate Song Qing, Han Hao realized that the matter was irreparable.

"Why is this happening? Why ......"

Looking at the mobile phone number that had been unable to be dialed, Han Hao couldn't help but leave two lines of tears in the office alone.

My heart hurts, it turns out that I have gradually fallen in love with this beautiful reporter with a unique temperament, but she can no longer hear her heart.

Han Hao found that in fact, he thought he was strong, but at this time, he was very fragile and lonely.

At the request of the family, Song Qing's body was transported back to China in an ice coffin, and she will be buried on the land of the motherland.

At the Capital Funeral Home, Song Qing's memorial service attracted thousands of citizens to see him off, and this beautiful reporter conquered many viewers with her personality charm.

Suddenly, Han Hao, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, appeared with a bodyguard, holding a red rose in his hand, causing a commotion.

Seeing Song Qing, who was sleeping peacefully in the transparent ice coffin forever, Han Hao took off his sunglasses, revealed his red eyes, and presented her with this belated red rose.

The only red rose, which stands out among the white roses.

Han Hao pondered in front of the ice coffin for a long time, and finally prepared to leave without saying a word.

"Wait—"

When Han Hao was about to leave, he was stopped by Song Qing's parents, and it was seen that these two old men who had suffered the pain of losing their daughter had been suffering a lot recently, and their spirits were extremely haggard.

"We packed up Song Qing's belongings, and here is a picture of her putting on the bedside. If you don't mind, we'd like to pass it on to you!"

Looking at the photo in the frame, it was a group photo left by Han Hao and Song Qing when they visited Vietnam. It's just that Song Qing above grimaced, and Han Hao was looking into the distance with a serious face. It can be inferred that this is a photo taken secretly by Song Qing when Han Hao was not paying attention, and I didn't expect that she had kept it precious.

"Thanks, I'll keep it well. Take care of yourself, you can call me directly if you have something. ”

Han Hao took out a personal business card and handed it to Song Qing's parents. He had a lot to say, but found himself with nothing to say.

"Ahh

Song Qing's father wanted to say something, but stopped again.

What is the entanglement between his daughter and Han Hao, he can vaguely infer from Song Qing's itinerary and words that the two of them belong to an inseparable ending.

Originally, the two old men wanted to cremate this cherished photo of Song Qing with their daughter, but they changed their minds when they saw Han Hao appear, presumably this is also something that Song Qing is willing to see.

Han Hao's appearance today is the greatest comfort and send-off for his deceased daughter Song Qing.
