提起风貌通讯,使我想起初当记者时的一段经历——新华社国内部注意培养新记者独立活动的能力,一九五九年春,让我去黑龙江“闯一闯”。这次采访,既无老记者带领,又不背具体题目,我带上一些介绍信,想上那里了解什么,请当地有关单位协助。我寻思怎样充分使用“自主权”。如果去交通便利、经常见报的地方呢,跟老记者比赛,步人后尘“拾麦穗”,很难再有新发现。我想,不如去辽阔的森林和草原,或许那里还有记者足迹未到、尚待开垦的“处女地”吧! In the spring of 1959, let me go to Heilongjiang to “break through.” In the spring of 1959, I was reminded of a period of experience when I first became a reporter - Xinhua News Agency, the internal department, paid attention to cultivating the capacity of a new reporter for independent activities. This interview, neither the old reporter led nor without specific topics, I bring some letters of introduction, think of where to understand what, please help the relevant local units. I wonder how to make full use of “autonomy.” If you go to the convenience of transportation, often reported place, match with the old reporter, follow the footsteps of “picking ears”, it is difficult to find new. I think, it is better to go to the vast forests and grasslands, there may be footprints there yet, yet to be reclaimed “virgin land” it!
