As one of the three major current affairs weeklies in the United States, Time Magazine's reputation can be said to be a household name, because of its authoritative and interactive characteristics, Time Magazine's status in the news media industry is definitely the first echelon.

As an activity that "Time Magazine" began to select since 1927, "Time Magazine Person of the Year" can be said to have received more and more widespread attention, and the purpose of its selection is to "select the person who has the most significant impact on the news and people's lives, whether it is good or bad", that is to say, being selected as "Time Magazine Person of the Year" does not represent an honor, because dangerous elements like Hitler and Ben ** have also been selected as "Person of the Year".

But it is indisputable that once it can be listed in Time Magazine's "Person of the Year", it will definitely attract attention from all over the world and become a hot topic of discussion for a while.

And the selection of this year's "Time Magazine Person of the Year" officially kicked off at this time.

Because Time magazine's reporters are all over the world, they can be the first to know the important events happening in various places, and the influential people behind these important events are also listed one by one for Time Magazine's final selection.

As the chairman of the "Person of the Year" review committee of "Time Magazine", Gerald has participated in five such selections, and he has always adhered to the principle of "fairness and justice" when selecting them, so his status in the world media industry is also very lofty, and the "Time Magazine Person of the Year" finally selected by him in the past few years has also been recognized by everyone, and China's leader Deng Gong appeared in "Time Magazine" for the second time in 1985 's cover was chosen by Gerrard.

"This year's selection of the Person of the Year is more difficult than in previous years!" Gerard said with a headache as he looked at the shortlisted list.

The year 1990 was not only the beginning of the 90s, but also a period of international change.

Upheavals in Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union's announcement of its renunciation of the one-party system, the merger of East Germany and West Germany, the reunification of Germany, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the resignation of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher......

This series of events created a 1990 that was destined to be extraordinary.

And the list of characters that Gerald is facing at this time, taking out any one is enough to shock the world.

Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who announced the renunciation of the Soviet Union's "one-party system", former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, known as the "Iron Lady", and former East German President Manfred Grach, who made great contributions to the reunification of Germany......

Of course, among them, of course, there is also the current President of the United States, Bush Sr.

More than half of the selected list are current or retired national leaders, and they are all leaders of important countries!

In fact, throughout the 80s, the frequency of national leaders being selected as "Time Magazine's Person of the Year" can be said to be very high, and 1990 was indeed a year of high incidence of major political events.

"Do you have any opinion on this year's Person of the Year?" Gerard put down the list and looked at the rest of the jury.

"I think Gorbachev is the first to recommend, his abolition of the one-party system in the Soviet Union, it can be said that it directly led to the current turmoil in the Soviet Union, which has an impact on the world pattern that no one can match. One of the judges was the first to say.

"If we look at the impact on the world pattern, is German reunification more influential? East German President Manfred Grach is more qualified than Gorbachev?" said another person at once.

"According to your standards, why waste so much time just by finding the leaders of various countries to be selected in turn in the future?" said Kate, the third jury member and the only woman on the jury this time.

"Miss Kate, do you have any ideas?" said Gerald, smiling and looking at Kate. In a sense, the selection of "Time Magazine's Person of the Year" in recent years has indeed become a bit political.

"I don't deny what the two just said, whether it is Gorbachev of the Soviet Union or Grach of Germany, it is true that they have had a certain impact on the political pattern of the world, but if according to my opinion, is this young man from China not qualified to be on the cover of Time magazine?"

Kate pointed to the only Chinese on the list, that is, Zhou Jingming said.

The nomination of Zhou Jingming to be selected as the "Person of the Year" selection list is the result of Kate's personal recommendation, and the reason for her recommendation is that "a pioneer of automobile safety who has single-handedly changed the development pattern of the world's automobile industry".

What Kate said naturally refers to is the change in body styling design and the invention of the ESP system, both of which were promoted by Zhou Jingming.

"I don't agree with Ms. Kate's statement that this Chinese named Zhou Jingming is not qualified in terms of seniority, and that he has only made a certain impact on cars, and from a journalistic point of view, he is not at all comparable to Gorbachev and others." It didn't take long for someone to retort.

"I also think so, we should not narrow the horizon of Time Magazine's Person of the Year selection, but look at this selection from a global perspective. Another chimed in.

"When will the selection of the Person of the Year also be based on seniority?" Kate did not flinch and competed against each other, "As the most important existence in the industrial system, what can the automobile industry not be selected if it can contribute to this aspect? What's more, do you know China's automobile industry? In the economic and political background of China in the 80s, Zhou Jingming was able to achieve such an achievement, and how many people can compare with him?"

"There is also a list of the top ten models in the 80s released by last year's "Consumer Reports", two sedans designed by Zhou Jingming, Phoenix sedan and Kirin sedan were all selected, I believe that many people here have Kirin cars at home!"

Kate glanced at the crowd, and finally stopped at Gerald, "Mr. President, I insist that Zhou Jingming should be selected as this year's Time Magazine Person of the Year. ”

Kate's words were so wrong that the rest of the people didn't say more, not to mention that the decision at this time was in Gerald's hands, and Gerald had the final say.

Everyone looked at themselves, and Gerald couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, frankly speaking, Kate said this, he knew that when Kate recommended Zhou Jingming to enter the list, Gerald also deliberately went to get a comprehensive understanding of Zhou Jingming.

Before this, Gerald had also heard of Zhou Jingming, who single-handedly set off a "bloody storm" in the European and American auto markets, even if he didn't pay attention to cars, Gerald also knew.

Time passed minute by minute, Gerald picked up the shortlist again, stared at Zhou Jingming's name carefully, and finally looked at Kate,

"Ms. Kate, I agree with what you said, and I also think that this Zhou Jingming is indeed a man of the hour, but this year's cover character can't be him. Gerald shook his head and said.
