Muyang was always looking down to read, when a colleague gently knocked on the door of the reference room and woke Muyang up, "Muyang, I'm off work, and my colleagues are almost gone." ”

"Oh yes, thanks." Mu Yang raised his wrist to look at his watch, only to find that the time had reached 7:20 in the evening, "It's so late, Shanshan must be in a hurry at home, and Xiao Rongrong." ”

Muyang hurriedly packed his things, got in the car in the parking lot and drove home, fortunately, the place where he lived was not far from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he finally returned home before 8 o'clock.

There was no one in the living room, Muyang quietly came to the bedroom room and found Xu Youshan patting Rong Rong's little ass on the bed, coaxing her daughter to sleep. Seeing Muyang come back, Xu Youshan put a finger to her mouth, motioned Muyang to be quieter, and then said to Muyang with her lips: "There is food in the kitchen, go eat it yourself." ”

Muyang nodded and withdrew from the bedroom, his daughter-in-law left food, Muyang opened the buckled bowl and began to eat.

When Muyang was about to finish eating, Xu Youshan also came to the restaurant, took the dishes and chopsticks and washed up, and asked: "Is the news department very busy, I have heard colleagues say before that in terms of overtime, our translation department is busy, but it is not as good as the news department." ”

"Yes, everyone has a lot of things in their hands, and when they are done, they find that it is very late, I have just started work, and I have not officially entered the situation, and I am still in the learning stage." Muyang hugged Xu Youshan's waist from behind and put his face on his daughter-in-law's back.

"Tired?" Xu Youshan asked with concern.

"No, you don't know my spirit yet. I just want to hug you. Mu Yang said with a smile.

"Oh, it's a warm thought." Xu Youshan laughed.

"Isn't this normal, men and women?" Muyang Road.

"Tell me how you feel. You've been working for a day. "Two people on the living room sofa ready, watching TV and chatting.

"Well, I feel very different from my previous impression of the press spokesperson. Not only my own cognition, but let me synthesize it, ordinary people think that news spokesmen are the kind of wit-witting and argumentative type, just like Zhuge Liang's tongue and group of Confucians. There is also wisdom full of Premier Zhou's tricky questions and provocations against journalists from all over the world. Or they are high-spirited, standing there talking to reporters, or they have the demeanor of a general. Fight back angrily in the face of challenges. ”

"Now it's found out that it's neither, so some people are disappointed that the spokesmen are a mouthpiece and just keep using all kinds of diplomatic rhetoric. Say things that don't hurt. But it doesn't have any practical significance. ”

Xu Youshan nodded and did not speak.

"But I think it's because people's expectations of the diplomatic spokesperson are too high, or there is some wrong interpretation of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In a normal way, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is nothing more than the spokesman of a ministry, and he cannot represent all the will of the country. ”

"At present, more than 60 ministries and commissions in China have set up more than 70 spokespersons. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is only one of them, but our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has done a better job in this regard. The impact is relatively large, which has caused people to always think that the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the same as the spokesperson of the country. ”

"The work of the spokesperson is mainly to solemnly announce China's position to the world, truthfully introduce China's national conditions, correctly express the Chinese government's policies, clarify the misunderstanding of China in a timely manner, and effectively counter the distortion and slander of China by people with ulterior motives.

"The current spokesperson system basically has its own set of rules, and there are about 20 people in the press office who assist them in their work behind the scenes. These 20 or so people are working around the clock to track the situation, analyze the dynamics of public opinion, help them conceive problems, and prepare questions and answers under their leadership. A greater backing is the leadership of various departments and ministries of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even the relevant departments and leaders of other ministries and commissions. On a daily basis, they are required to provide background information on the launch and prepare the relevant calibers. ”

"The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to hold a press conference preparation meeting with the assistants of the press release office every day to study the new situation at home and abroad, the new trend of public opinion, etc., and then prepare questions and answer questions accordingly."

"I went to see the regular press conference this afternoon, and on the occasion of a press conference, the spokesman represents the whole country, which requires that what he says must not be wrong in the slightest, and the so-called diplomacy is no trivial matter, and any flaw in the wording will cause very serious consequences."

The content of the questions was not known to the speaker in advance, and even though we can speculate on the recent hot issues, we are not able to fully prepare every answer. So when a speaker is about to answer a question, he needs to think about the relevant policy attitude and organize it into logical and speechless words. It's not an easy process and requires careful consideration. ”

"It's really not easy to be a diplomatic spokesperson." In the end, Muyang sighed.

In the next few days, Muyang still spent time studying, but he read books quickly, and often brought materials to the mission world to read, and in these few days, Muyang learned what it would normally take others months to learn.

At the regular meeting on Friday, Muyang was already working normally and put forward his own opinions and opinions on certain issues.

"Shameless, boring, unreasonable. These words are used crisply, but is it appropriate to say so? Deputy Director Zhou Ying felt that the words on the manuscript written by Mu Yang were a little too much.

This is a recent incident, and it is a hot issue recently, today's regular press conference is presided over by Sister Ying, who is known as 'Meng Ying', so he is responsible for reviewing the manuscript.

The incident occurred on August 2, 2014, when the Chinese Air Force aviation unit conducted a routine patrol in the air defense identification zone in the East China Sea, and from 10:17 to 28, China's Tu-154 aircraft was approaching and tracking by two Japanese F-15 aircraft at a distance of about 30 meters during a normal flight in the relevant airspace off China's coastal waters, seriously affecting China's flight safety. On the morning of the same day, one reconnaissance plane each of the YS-11EB and OP-3 reconnaissance planes of the Japanese Self-Defense Force conducted reconnaissance activities in the air defense identification zone of the East China Sea. The Chinese Air Force dispatched two J-11 planes to identify and verify the Japanese aircraft, and the distance between them and the Japanese aircraft was maintained at a distance of more than 150 meters.

To put it simply, it's a retaliatory ripost.

Subsequently, China also published a video of the incident between Japanese and Chinese fighters on its website, and made some comments. The Japanese, however, said that the video released by China was different from the content of the negotiations, and that the Japanese side asked the Chinese side to withdraw the video.

But Mu Yang's answer to this was: "In the face of hard facts, there are still people on the Japanese side who say such things, and I can only use three words to describe them, that is, shameless, boring, and unreasonable." We demand that the Japanese side immediately cease all provocations with actions and words. (To be continued.) )
