[00:00.00]After graduating from university,
[00:03.76]Wang Junyan became a reporter
[00:05.21]for a local newspaper.
[00:07.02]She said she chose to be a journalist,
[00:08.94]because it is important to report news
[00:11.14]and to reveal the truth.
[00:13.17]I asked her if there was any particular moment
[00:15.04]that made her realise the importance
[00:17.13]of journalism,and she replied
[00:19.15]that it was after she was assigned
[00:20.73]to investigate a business scandal¹.
[00:23.14]Her report on the scandal
[00:24.84]helped the people who had been affected²,
[00:27.03]and it also helped the government
[00:28.65]investigate the company.
[00:30.37]"That is when I realized the importance of
[00:32.37]journalism,"said Wang Junyan.
[00:35.11]"Writing that report wasn't easy,
[00:36.96]but I realized
[00:37.59]that people needed to know the truth,
[00:39.65]and so I persevered,"Wang Junyan told me.
[00:42.78]Her perseverance³ paid off
[00:44.85]because she won an award for the report.
[00:47.40]"I discovered then that so long
[00:48.78]as I was committed to the truth,
[00:50.76]and I am prepared to persevers,
[00:52.88]I will be able to produce high quality reports.
[00:56.17]"That's exactly what Wang Junyan
[00:57.76]has continued to do as the face of Universe TV.
[01:01.85]I asked Wang Junyan what she liked most
[01:03.79]about being a reporter,
[01:05.41]and she said she found it
[01:06.37]interesting and challenging.
