    History copies today

    Huxh posted a postinfo on the foruminfo of Zjuonline that there were two similar pieces of news in Today Morning Express. One was pressed on September 6th, 2008(http://zjdaily.zjol.com.cn/jrzb/html/2008-09/06/content_3472936.htm), and the other on September 7th, 2005(http://www.zjol.com.cn/gb/node2/node802/node1155/node346486/node346523/userobject15ai4728071.html). The content of two articles is almost the same. It's absurd to say an old mama to do the same thing after three years. I think the correspondent didn't expect that the newspaper has such a reader and he has a good memory. The condition may be just the journalist wants some articles and the correspondent provides some to him/her, and it seems like normal. Indeed no one will take it seriously; people just talked, mocked and forgot it. It did no harm to the readers, but what has happened to the newspaper? Just like a thief at the first time, people will no longer believe that he is clean and innocent.

    The news was written by a correspondent. That may be the lucky thing because the journalism didn't participate in the circumstance. But for me Today Morning Express means nothing to me in the future. It lost its credit and its report. When I see the report from Today Morning Express, I will ask myself whether I can believe it or just regard it as trash. History is always surprisingly similar, but it doesn't imply someone make it on purpose.

    The 19 bans from CCPD

    During Beijing Olympic Games, every Monday morning I had to learn the spirit from CCPD (Central Committee of Propaganda Department) besides a week's work. On about two pieces of paper, it filled with do's and don'ts. Some of the regulations are so ridiculous that it seems too simple, sometimes naive. But in any case as a journalist even just as a worker in China's media organization, it's the iron discipline to obey without resistance. The Olympic Games with only 16-day schedule contrasted the 19 bans from CCPD, over one piece one day. The most funny thing is that on the notice it is clearly written "can only say good" which insulted the intelligence quotient of the media journalists. It's obvious for the media to say good to the Olympics unless leaders of the media want to lose their jobs. I've heard that the bans were printed in the overseas newspapers. Foreigners can see China's freedom of press. Therefore passed a bill by acclamation is not queer. Propaganda is not a good word in the west, but we call the ideological institutes as propaganda organs. Many Chinese say we China has our own national conditions, and we'll have a different way to approach freedom and democracy. But my conclusion of the discussion with my classmates is that no multi-party system, no modern spiritual civilization. The opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic Games shocked the world, yes, of course, with tens of billion yuan any country can shock the world, the keystone is our nation leaders feel we China win the world's reputation.
