The first time I walked up to a CPPCC member for an interview, I was so nervous that I could barely articulate my question. I worried about whether my wording was appropriate and whether the interviewee would be willing to respond.

　　During one press Q&A session at the Fujian province open-day event, despite having carefully prepared my question, I felt anxious the moment I stood up to speak. I was supposed to ask my question in both Chinese and English, but I completely forgot to speak in English. Instead, I introduced myself and asked my question entirely in Chinese. It wasn't until I sat down that I realized my small “mistake“.

　　Although both incidents were minor, they made me more aware of the challenges of public speaking and the importance of staying composed under pressure. After a few attempts, I gradually found my rhythm and even began to enjoy the process.

　　This experience transformed me from a mere observer into a recorder, shifting my understanding from vague awareness to a profound appreciation of the two sessions — something I had previously only understood through news headlines and policy summaries.

　　It was also a personal journey of growth and learning. I now see the role of a journalist in a new light — not just as a recorder of facts, but as a bridge between cultures and perspectives. I will continue using my words, images, and videos to share China's story with the world, helping more people understand this dynamic and prosperous country.
