On the Frontlines of Journalism
Voices from the Field
Throughout my career as a journalist, I have walked into homes left with nothing after devastating floods, documenting how families rebuilt their lives from the rubble. I've sat with parents who lost their only child, listening to stories of grief they refuse to let fade into silence...
I followed Hubei's "lake chiefs" on their rounds, contributing to the Jingchu Lake Report's coverage of Chen Lake and Huanzi Lake, bearing witness to the province's long history of coexistence and struggle with its waterways.
And as Wuhan's metro network continued to expand, I helped write and edit two editions of the Wuhan Metro Guide, uncovering hidden gems tucked along the city's subway lines for local residents.

Stories of Life and Hope
I also followed a doctor on an emergency mission to transport a donor heart for a young patient, capturing the moment this lifesaving organ arrived at the operating room. Through this story of a race against time, I conveyed the tension, urgency, and hope of this "relay of life," along with the medical team's sense of responsibility and the overwhelming gratitude of the child's parents.
In another investigation, I tracked down leads on a trafficked child, working with local police and mobilizing public support through media coverage. The effort ultimately helped reunite Fan Weiwei, who had been trafficked to Hebei Province as a child, with her family in Hubei.

Standing with the City
Located along the banks of the Yangtze River, Wuhan faces an annual "battle" during flood season. My colleagues and I reported from the front lines, documenting the tireless work of neighborhood committee staff, as well as personnel from Hubei's Emergency Management Department and Wuhan's Emergency Management Bureau—offering residents a sense of reassurance during uncertain times.
On April 8, 2020, I stood at a highway checkpoint and witnessed Wuhan reopen to the world after months of lockdown-a moment I will never forget.
