Less than 9 o'clock in the morning, outside the bus station in the center of Jinyang, the bus stop.

Looking at the railway station square across the street, Ma Xiaofei's mind is what it will look like more than 20 years later.

An unfamiliar sense of distance came to my face.

It's not 2022, it's mid-May 1995.

A few days ago, Ma Xiaofei felt the same way after waking up in the government dormitory building in Long'an Town.

Reborn in 1995, he came to Jinyang City for the first time.

In this era, Jinyang Railway Station was only built for five or six years.

On the east side of the train station into the city, some of the buildings on both sides of the street are quite new, but none of them have more than 7 floors.

On the west side of the square, a new building has been topped out, and exterior tiles and windows are being installed.

This is the Xiyuan Wholesale Market in Jinyang.

The first large-scale wholesale market in the city, the future small commodity distribution center in northwest Shu.

Ma Xiaofei guessed that for 20,000 yuan, in the Xiyuan Wholesale Market, he should be able to buy a shop of about 30 square meters.

Now, it's just a matter of thinking about it.

There are still two days left, he will only turn 21 years old, and he has been working for almost two years, with a monthly salary of more than 330 yuan.

The work unit is the government of Long'an Town, Anhe County, 35 kilometers away from Jinyang City.

Ma Xiaofei also knows that the memories of the next 20 years and the knowledge in his head are actually useless in the rural towns and villages of this era.

So, today he came to Jinyang.

At this moment, there are many people waiting at the bus stop, all waiting to take the No. 1 bus into the city.

Ma Xiaofei is tall, close to 180 cm, and stands out from the crowd.

It's a little hot, and it's the season of messy dressing.

In the middle of the crowd, the elderly were still wearing jackets, and a few girls who looked like college students had changed into skirts.

There are also two fashionable girls, seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, stepping on high heels, wearing knee-length skirts and camisoles, with heavy makeup on their faces, and dazzling white flowers on their long legs.

Ma Xiaofei glanced at it and guessed that most of these two girls were working in karaoke halls.

In this era, it is actually quite open, and the karaoke halls on the street are full of countless scenery......

A Xiali taxi approached, Ma Xiaofei raised his hand, pulled the car door, and got into the passenger seat:

"Master, go to Hongxing Street, Jinyang Daily."

On the platform, several girls whispered:

"That boy was so handsome just now."

"People bring briefcases, go to work."

"His skin is so white, and many girls are not so white. The hairstyle is also good-looking, like Aaron Kwok. ”

"Didn't you notice that he looks a bit like Leslie Cheung."

"That's right, it's a bit like Leslie Cheung, he must be taller than Leslie Cheung, and I feel like I'm 180 years old......"

Many people have said that Ma Xiaofei and Leslie Cheung have seven or eight points of appearance.

Ma Xiaofei was quite disgusted, he felt that he was masculine.

There was little traffic on the streets, and after a few minutes, Red Star Street in the city center arrived.

"New rapeseed oil, three pieces of nine ......"

"Sharpen the scissors, sharpen the kitchen knife......"

"Collecting scrap, cardboard boxes, old books, newspapers, beer bottles, ......"

On both sides of the street, the sycamore trees are luxuriant, and under the shade of the trees, a few hawkers walking the streets and alleys shout all the way.

Ma Xiaofei got off at the entrance of Jinyang Daily, in the middle of Hongxing Street, and paid five yuan for the fare.

I went to a grocery store and found a pay phone and called a pager.

The other party quickly called back, and Ma Xiaofei said: "Okay, Mr. Wen, I'll ...... at the door of the newspaper."

After paying a dollar for the phone bill, Ma Xiaofei walked to the side of the newspaper office to look at the newspaper reading column and pass the time.

The latest issue of Jinyang Daily was published on Saturday, May 13, 1995.

This is yesterday's newspaper.

The current Jinyang Daily does not publish a newspaper on Sundays.

After May Day this year, the country has just implemented the weekend two-day holiday system, and today is the second weekend Sunday.

In this era, there was no Internet, and to understand the outside world, the main thing was to read newspapers, and then television and radio.

In the township, the first newspaper Ma Xiaofei could see was published three or five days ago.

The post and telecommunications office in Long'an Town only goes to the county seat twice a week.

On the newspaper column, the Jinyang Daily, which has been published in the last three days, is posted.

Jinyang Daily is a large newspaper, Monday to Friday, 8 pages a day, and 4 pages on Saturday.

The current Jinyang Daily is not yet color printing, the masthead is all black fonts, and the pictures are also black and white.

Ma Xiaofei knows that the domestic laser phototypesetting system has been born for six or seven years, and after it is listed, the price is less than one-tenth of the imported equipment.

Large international companies such as Europe, the United States and Japan lost the Chinese market overnight.

All this is thanks to Professor Wang Xuan, who is known as the "contemporary Bi Sheng".

The domestic color laser phototypesetting system has been around for three or four years now, and prefecture-level city newspapers such as Jinyang Daily should not have been introduced.

Ma Xiaofei looked at the newspaper layout of this era and imagined how the editors worked the layout paper every day:

They had pencils in their hands and a two-finger-wide transparent plastic ruler.

Draw the layout of each manuscript, as well as pictures, on the layout.

Even down to every word......

Such folio newspapers are generally typeset in No. 5 characters, with a capacity of about 12,000 words per page, and usually publish more than a dozen articles.

In addition to revising the draft and drawing the version, editors also have to calculate the number of words, which is actually quite a lot of work.

Like many newspapers of this era, the front page headlines of Jinyang Daily rarely used column headlines, and the font of the headlines was mainly large-scale Song.

The newspaper is divided into 6 columns, and the headlines are arranged horizontally and vertically, and the manuscript and the section are separated by solid lines, dotted lines and frame lines.

Next to the horizontal heading, if it is also a heading area, the vertical heading must be used.

It's called not bumping into the question.

Part of the section layout, editing the drawing plate, will be like Tetris, deliberately leave a tail, and then use other manuscripts to put together.

It's called staggered.

In this era, the style of the group version is dominated by this traditional model.

Modular assembly like a code brick, and some newspapers have begun to try.

It is a part of the metropolitan newspaper in a big city......

"Dumbo!" Ma Xiaofei was looking at the layout of Jinyang Daily carefully, and someone greeted him behind him.

"Teacher Wen!"

Ma Xiaofei turned around, with a smile on his face, and quickly took out his cigarette case and handed over a cigarette.

The person named Wen Guangyu, 32 years old, is the editor-in-chief of the supplement department of Jinyang Daily.

He is also the leader of Ma Xiaofei's entry into the media industry.

Wen Guangyu is more than 170 centimeters tall, wears a pair of glasses, and always smiles.

He likes to play table tennis and keeps his figure very well.

This umbro tracksuit, short-sleeved T-shirt, sweatpants and sneakers make him look less than 30 years old.

In Ma Xiaofei's eyes, Wen Guangyu has always been the editor with the strongest business ability and the strongest dedication in the newspaper.

It's just that Wen Guangyu wouldn't have thought that the editor-in-chief position would be his ceiling in the newspaper now......

Today, Ma Xiaofei wears a more formal shirt, long pants and leather shoes.

Ma Xiaofei is 179.6 cm tall, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, good facial features, very white skin, and a handsome young man with a sunny appearance.

After 20 years, this image is called small fresh meat.

The current Ma Xiaofei, who is also a correspondent of Jinyang Daily, is very close to Wen Guangyu and often contributes to him, and Wen Guangyu also admires Ma Xiaofei's talent.

It was still in 1998 that Jinyang Daily launched a trial issue in order to establish Jinyang Metropolis Daily, and Ma Xiaofei came to the newspaper to officially apply as a reporter.

Since that year, Ma Xiaofei has worked in the media for nearly 20 years in Jinyang, provincial capitals and Beijing.

After receiving a Tashan cigarette handed by Ma Xiaofei, Wen Guangyu greeted with a smile: "Let's go, go to the office and sit." ”

Ma Xiaofei followed Wen Guangyu into the inner courtyard of the newspaper office and went up to the fourth floor......
