“真稀奇!小泥腿子也当上了特约记者。”滑县上官镇华家村青年农民侯富强被《农村市场报》聘为特约记者的消息,成为该镇一个小小的新闻。今年20岁出头的小侯,1986年是一位“落榜举子”,1987年春,经过一番痛苦的选择,他干上了新闻报道这一行。白天走村串巷,求朋拜友,发现新闻马上采访;晚上秉烛夜战,写了改,改了写,有时干个通宵。一年过去了,少得可怜的稿费连邮票、信封、稿纸都买不出来。父母骂他不干农活,“爬方格能挡饥寒?”亲朋好友劝他改行经商,“要发家,把商抓;要想富、开办门市部。”但这些都未能动摇他写稿的决心。没钱买稿纸,他就向同学要;没钱订报纸,他隔两天到镇政府借阅一次,近两年,他未添一件新衣服。 “Really surprising! Small mud-legs also became special correspondents.” Hou Fuqiang, a young farmer from Huasha Village, Shangguan Town, Huaxian County, was hired as a special correspondent by the Rural Market News and became a little news about the town. Koho, who turned 20 early this year, was a “winner in 1986”. In the spring of 1987, after a painful choice, he did a news report. During the day and walk in the village, begging friends and found the news immediately interviewed; Night candlelight night war, wrote a change, change the write, and sometimes overnight. A year has passed, and the pitiful royalties can not even be sold out on stamps, envelopes and manuscripts. Parents scolded him for not doing farming, “climb the grid to block the hunger?” Relatives and friends advised him to divert business, “to send fortune, to grasp; to rich, set up shop.” But these have not shaken him to write determination. No money to buy manuscripts, he would like to students; no money to set the newspaper, he borrowed from the town government every two days once, nearly two years, he did not add a new dress.
