Chapter 36 Newspaper Internship

(xxxvi)

The internship at Jiangcheng Evening News was intense and hectic, fulfilling and enjoyable. said that it was an internship, but the teacher only took Zhong Shan for a week, and then let him go solo. There are few newspaper reporters, Zhong Shan is a student of journalism, and he has a solid foundation in writing, and he can also take news photography, and he brings his own camera, so he gets started very quickly, and he is almost a finished reporter. Moreover, the interns only work and do not receive wages, and the newspaper leaders are even more happy about the strong labor force that comes for nothing.

Because he was no stranger to the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng, and most of the news collected in the evening newspaper was social news, Zhong Shan quickly adapted to this work. Almost every day, the "Jiangcheng Evening News" has a text or photo report signed "Intern Zhong Shan". One of the reports, "Farmers Bravely Rescued Children in the Water", was an emergency incident he encountered while walking on the river embankment, with pictures of the whole rescue process, and the press release was also written with emotion, and more than half a page was issued on one page, which had great social repercussions. In addition to thanking the farmer brother who saved the life, the parents of the rescued children also led the children to the newspaper office to deliver a pennant to thank Reporter Zhong for his report to carry forward the spirit of good people.

In fact, on that day, he had planned to give himself a day off, go to the river to blow the wind, and sort out his thoughts.

On the same day, he received a letter from Mie. Different from the previous letters, which dryly described the grand occasion of their performances and the situation at home, this letter was written with sincerity, starting from their first meeting in cram school, talking about the first time they held hands in the poplar forest in spring, talking about the first kiss given that summer morning, talking about the inseparability of the train station, talking about the reunion of three years and leaving more, and when a person calms down, his heart is full of thoughts about him. Meihui seems to have matured all of a sudden, and has become a Meihui he doesn't know, a gentle and considerate virtuous girl with delicate emotions.

was thinking wildly, a group of children playing by the river not far away shouted "help", Zhong Shan saw that a person couldn't take off his clothes, flew into the river, and slowly paddled to the shore with his little head and floating. Professional education and professional habits drove Zhong Shan to pick up the camera he was carrying around his neck, quickly adjust the focus, and photographed the whole process of saving people. Next, he approached and inquired in detail about the incident and the identities of the rescuers and rescuers, and an emergency report had sketched the outline in his mind. After returning to the company, it was naturally delivered quickly and arranged on the page of the newspaper that night.

Before the holiday, Zhong Shan wrote a letter to his family, saying that the internship work at the newspaper was heavy and he would not go home during the winter vacation. He planned in his heart that he would use the Spring Festival holiday to visit Fang Jing in Anhui, and a letter to Fang Jing was also sent out at home or in the internship unit, just waiting for her to reply to determine the place of meeting.

But on the eve of the Spring Festival, he suddenly received a letter from Meihui, saying that his mother was sick, and she was not lightly ill, and she always talked to her about her son, hoping that if he was not too busy, he would take the time to go back home to have a look, even if he would go back to the internship unit after the New Year.

Zhong Shan was in a dilemma, and had no choice but to write to Fang Jing again, saying that he could not go to Anhui during the Spring Festival, and that his mother was seriously ill and hoped that he would go back, and that he would find time to visit her when he came back after the Spring Festival.

After Fang Jing received the letter, he immediately sent a telegram and told Zhong Shan that "motherhood is the most important, filial piety is not violated, and love is recounted", or the gentle, kind, considerate, and not tired Fang Jing who gets along with him.

In order to encourage the interns' hard work, the newspaper also gave them a symbolic manuscript fee, and Zhong Shan got the most, with 120 yuan. Getting the money earned from his own work is completely different from selling his physical strength to earn money at the dock, Zhongshan was a little excited for a while, and went to the food store on the street overnight to buy Jiangcheng's local products, ready to take home during the Spring Festival, and repay his parents for more than 20 years of nurturing kindness. When I thought of this layer, the troubles about my life experience came to my heart, and I was in a trance again.
