Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

As two reports about the Kerna Massacre incident triggered public opinion in the entire international community, the entire Internet seemed a bit turbulent.

Public opinion mainly focuses on two aspects. One is the condemnation of this inhumane act of massacre and sympathy for the victims, and the strong impact on the tragic scenes at the scene.

Mainly the discussion revolves around the matter itself.

On the other hand, it was the violence against Modao, that is, against journalists by the armed opposition forces in Kerna.

In response to this, many internationally renowned journalists have come out to strongly condemn, and many well-known journalists have even published blog posts and columns, harshly criticizing the violence against journalists by the opposition forces in Kerna.

The reason for this is naturally not because these big reporters want to stand up for Mo Dao, but in this matter, basically all reporters have the same interests.

What is somewhat darkly humorous is that because of the voices of these influential journalists, the public opinion on this issue can even rival that of the massacre itself.

"Journalist Mo, look at this blog post. A great journalist who has interviewed many heads of state posted it on his social account: 'We must praise Mo for his noble and courageous pursuit of the truth. He is a great reporter. ! But at the same time, we have to get those involved who tried to hide the truth and inflicted such violence on a journalist! We gotta get them punished!'"

At the Kellner branch, Fei Yi recited a blog post on the Internet for Mo Dao with some emotion,

"And this, a reporter who is famous for being active in many hot spots for a long time: We all heard it, they shot Mo! How could they do this! This is a naked provocation to all media people. This is a serious violation of press freedom and an absolute act against humanity! It must be punished!”

"And this. 'Oh my gosh, when I heard that tape, I was literally flashing back to my nightmare moments. They were shooting at reporters, and they were hurting such a noble reporter like this. It's absolutely unforgivable!'"

"Journalist Mo, it seems they want to take revenge for you."

Fei Yi put down his phone and said something else with some emotion.

When Mo Dao heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

Yin Yan, who was writing next to him, turned around and smiled, then took over the words,

"I see that in Europe and the United States, journalists' unions are already organizing strikes and demonstrations, demanding that the militants who violently detained Mozambican journalists must be punished."

As he spoke, Yin Yan's smile gradually faded and his eyes narrowed.

"If it is useful, it will be good. The threats our reporters have received cannot be in vain. Our branch still has cameras that have not been recovered."

In fact, everyone including Yin Yan knows why international journalists reacted so violently to Mo Dao's violent detention.

But again, this matter has the same appeal for journalists, especially those in troubled areas.

It is absolutely unacceptable to tolerate such violence against journalists. Otherwise, if it happens once, it will happen twice. This time it is Mo Dao, and next time it might be me.

"In addition, the international public opinion about the Kerna massacre is not small, and small-scale demonstrations have also occurred in some countries. Now, the forces that committed the massacre under international pressure will have to do more similar things again. Some concerns. This kind of thing should become less common in the future.”

Yin Yan sighed again and looked at Mo Dao in admiration.

This is probably the limit of what a reporter can do.

Use your own reports to stir up the storm, and then use public opinion and general pressure to change some tragic, bad, or unfair things.

But she could only admire it.

Even if it were to happen again, she would most likely not take the risk.

Mo Dao came back successfully, but the risks encountered along the way were not small.

"Journalist Mo is great."

Sincerely, Yin Yan praised him.

Mo Dao smiled, then shook his head,

"It's not about how good my reporting is. In the final analysis, I just reported the matter. What caused such a big public opinion was people's sympathy. It was the matter itself that aroused widespread public opinion. It had nothing to do with me."

It may be a matter of mentality, but Mo Dao has a very clear understanding of himself.

After all, this is just a report.

However, Yin Yan obviously didn't think so.

After listening to Mo Dao's words, Yin Yan just smiled and shook his head.

That's what he said, but if Mo Dao hadn't taken the risk to report this matter, when would it be possible to trigger effective public opinion?

When a more tragic massacre occurs?

How many people will die in the process?

It can be said that Mo Dao's report has changed the fate of many people invisibly.

"Journalist Mo, please don't underestimate yourself. At least your report has saved many ordinary people who would have died in the massacre."

Yin Yan said this again.

Mo Dao didn't refute anything.

And at this moment,

The editor-in-chief walked out of the separate office next to him, looked at Mo Dao, and then looked at Yin Yan, Fei Yi and others next to Mo Dao.

"Mo Dao, your two reports have caused some repercussions now. In the recent period, you should try not to go out for the time being."

The editor-in-chief came over and said to Mo Dao.

Yin Yan and others in the office also looked at Mo Dao again.

"good."

Mo Dao nodded and agreed directly without asking any further questions.

The reason is actually self-evident. The greater the public opinion now, the more dangerous it is for Mo Dao himself.

It's hard to guarantee that some people won't want to take revenge on Mo Dao, the reporter who reported the village massacre.

The editor-in-chief actually regretted asking Mo Dao to publish another report in his own name.

"...Well, Mo Dao, do you need to go back to China for some time off?"

The editor-in-chief hesitated for a moment and asked one more question before returning to the office.

When asked this question, Mo Dao was a little unable to answer for a while.

He himself is not afraid of danger, but there is no need to involve other colleagues in the branch.

The editor-in-chief seemed to understand Mo Dao's thoughts, smiled, and then added,

"This has nothing to do with other reasons. I just want to ask Mo Dao if you would like to take a vacation during this period. After all, you are relatively tired during this period. In our branch, I don't think any militants dare to break in and attack directly. ”

The editor-in-chief said this with some confidence.

If you encounter some danger when you go out, you can explain it as an accident.

If some force breaks into the Hua Xin News Agency branch and kills the Hua Xin News Agency reporters,

That nature is no different from directly declaring war on China.

"Then I'd better not take a vacation."

"Okay. By the way, there was a call from the head office. You were highly praised for your adherence to the noble character of a journalist, your courage to take responsibility, and your courage to pursue the truth. The entire China News Agency was notified, saying that you would You are an example.”

As the editor-in-chief spoke, he couldn't help but smile again on his face.

He didn't care about "high achievements", he was just happy to have such a reporter under his command.

He also has face when he has such a reporter.

"Thank you editor-in-chief."

"Thank you for what you did, I just conveyed it to you."

As he spoke, the editor waved his hand and turned back to the office.

…

Keerner Branch, Mo Daojian has returned to his daily work.

However, the public opinion generated by these two reports has reached this level, but it still has not stopped.

On the contrary, it got worse.
