Another CCTV host has passed away.
On the evening of January 10, CCTV host Zhang Zequn sent a Weibo notification that Zhao He, a famous host of CCTV, had died.
"The economy is half an hour concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood, cracking down on fake March 15 to remove falsehood and truth, mourning deeply, and deeply remembering Teacher Zhao He."
You should know that Zhao He is only 61 years old today, just retired for a year, it is the beginning of enjoying life, but unfortunately exposed the news of his death.
It's incredibly sad.
Born in Beijing, Zhao He dreamed of sitting in front of a microphone for the rest of his life as a teenager.
In middle school, Zhao He, who loved to read aloud, was a literary and artistic activist in the school, and his recitation was always praised by teachers and classmates, and was recognized as a unique job.
After graduating from high school, just in time for the Chinese People's Liberation Army Fujian Frontline Radio Station to recruit announcers at the school, he has since stepped into the broadcasting industry.
In 1982, Zhao He was admitted to the Department of Broadcasting of the Communication University of China for further study, and after graduation, he went to the Economic Channel of China Central Television as the host and editor of "Economic Half Hour".
I have been associated with this show ever since.
In life, Zhao He is straightforward, frank, generous, not obedient, and is praised by colleagues as having the "gentleman's style".
In his work, he came up with news such as "Beijing Citizens Talk About the Supply of Chinese Cabbage" and "Investigation into Counterfeit and Shoddy Pigeon Bicycles", and won many news awards.
"Economic Half Hour" has also received a lot of attention and has become one of the channel's ace columns.
On December 25, 2008, he also won the "Golden Microphone Award" for Chinese broadcasting hosts.
Probably for most viewers, the most familiar is when he hosted the 3.15 party.
In fact, from 1991 to 2000, Zhao He presided over ten consecutive March 15 evening parties.
The first three parties were written by themselves, and each party could be praised by consumers across the country.
Not only is he able to preside, But Zhao He also has his own unique insights in the knowledge area of economics.
He once said in an interview that the creators have always sought to create a better consumer environment:
To have conscience, sincerity, sincerity, love, only you have such a psychology, honest business, honest management, can make our environment, so that consumers get tangible benefits, but also can really be worthy of themselves, consumers can rest assured. ”
Now 3.15 is getting better and better, but he is no longer there.
According to Zhao He's former colleagues, Zhao He actually suffered from cancer for many years, but in the end he still did not resist the erosion of the disease and died of illness.
Speaking of which, not only Zhao He, but also several hosts of CCTV have left everyone over the years.
Those who live in our childhood memories are leaving us one by one.
For example, Shen Li, who died in 2020.
She is known as "the first person on the Chinese screen", the first TV announcer in China, the first TV host, and also known as "the 'first drop of water' of TV broadcast host".
Because since 1958, When China established its first television station, Beijing Television, for more than a year, the CCTV announcer was only Shen Li.
Every day, domestic and international news, literary and artistic programs, special programs are broadcast, and all the strings between programs are broadcast by herself.
At the time, she was 25 years old.
In 1982, Shen Li, who was in his 50s, received a work arrangement to host the "Service for You" column.
The show marks a new era of reform in the tone of Chinese television.
Shen Li has also become one of the symbols of China's reform era.
In 1993, the program "Sunset Red" was launched, and the 60-year-old Shen Li was re-hired to return to CCTV to host "Sunset Red".
In just half a year, "Sunset Red" and "Oriental Time and Space" became the highest-rated columns of CCTV during the day, and were rated as one of the top ten excellent columns of CCTV.
She once said that as long as there is an audience, there is me.
But in 2015, the 82-year-old Shen Li reneged on his word.
After recording the "Sunset Red" special, she was diagnosed with lung cancer, and four years later, she said "goodbye" to the audience, saying:
"From being an announcer to hosting Sunset Red, I was sincerely serving the audience and doing things for them. I don't have anything vain, I'm sincere, and I think they can feel it too."
We can feel and believe that in another world, Shen Li will still watch us all warmly as we move forward.
And she will be free and happy, and there will always be love around her.
Before Shen Li left, her student, the best announcer Luo Jing, also left because of cancer.
Luo Jing graduated from the Beiguang Journalism Department majoring in broadcasting, and after graduation, he entered CCTV.
Hosted the weather forecast for a year first.
He also hosted the CCTV military program "Long, Long, Short, And Short Words to the Navy."
On New Year's Day 1996, after the "News Network" was changed to live broadcast, at 7 o'clock every night, Luo Jing began to appear in front of the screen on time.
The words are round, dignified and steady broadcast of every piece of news.
Since 1996, he has hosted the News Network nearly 3,000 times with zero mistakes.
In 1997, Luo Jing broadcast Comrade Deng Xiaoping's obituary, about 4,000 words, more than 20 minutes long, in one fell swoop, without any mistakes.
In 2003, he was elected as one of the top ten job experts in the country and appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the same year.
Colleagues in Tairi commented on him:
Eyes fixed on the prompter, news in the mouth, manuscript in hand, ear to listen to the director's request, not affected by other people's communication.
However, Luo Jing still said that he missed it once in his life.
It was the time of the 2008 Olympic torch relay, and Luo Jing appeared in a white sports headband, when he was already suffering from cancer.
Speaking about the condition, he said, "Look, there is no major problem, it can fully recover." ”
As a result, on August 31, 2008, after Luo Jing hosted the "News Network", his condition suddenly deteriorated.
After a course of chemotherapy, the doctor issued a critical illness notice.
In 2009, at 7:05 a.m. on June 5, After more than 10 months of fighting the disease, Luo Jing passed away.
There is also Li Yong, who is deeply loved by the audience.
From the language style to the external dress, he has always adhered to the humorous and witty hip-hop style, which can be described as a clear stream in the variety industry.
He also won the title of "China's Most Valuable Host" with a value of 500 million.
He once gave a speech on "The Last Day of Life" on a variety show, hoping to quietly leave.
"I will find a quiet place, stay quietly, I will not apologize, there will be no parting, there will be no complaints, I will only have thanks... All the audience friends in front of the TV, thank you for making me a wonderful memory. ”
As he wished, the news of his cancer was very secretive, and we did not know until after his death:
After 17 months of anti-cancer treatment in the United States, Li Yong finally lost the disease and regrettably passed away at the age of 50.
At that time, the Internet was still complaining about the article "cheated by Li Yong".
Probably means that he was deceived by Li Yong's patriotism, and he went abroad to enjoy happiness.
For these bad comments, Li Yong's wife Ha Wen did not explain too much.
It was only two years after Li Yong's death that Weibo was rarely updated because zhao Zhongxiang died.
From 1983 to 2000, Zhao Zhongxiang participated in and hosted no less than 15 CCTV Spring Festival Galas, becoming the "idol in the heart" of the vast number of Chinese audiences.
In addition, Zhao Zhongxiang has also hosted large-scale variety shows such as "The Return of Hong Kong", "The Return of Macao" and "Millennium Jubilee" and hundreds of various thematic evenings.
Having presided over so many sessions, I have not added a word or a word less to the host's words.
Ha Wen should be the most touching, because Ha Wen is not only Li Yong's wife, but also a former director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and has cooperated with Zhao Zhongxiang many times.
According to the obituary of Zhao Zhongxiang's son Zhao Fang, Zhao Zhongxiang has been diagnosed with cancer at the end of 2019, and although he actively cooperates with treatment, he still cannot prevent the spread of the disease.
During the treatment, his wife stayed with him until he left peacefully.
His last message was a thank you to reporters for clarifying his gossip.
Now it seems that it is really emotional.
Although Zhao Zhongxiang was accompanied by controversies in his later years, such as the recording incident and "4,000 yuan", in general, from the length of the host, Zhao Zhongxiang was qualified to let the people of the whole country say that sentence:
I very much want to see Zhao Zhongxiang.
Further ahead, Xiao Xiaolin, a 55-year-old female host of CCTV, died of rectal cancer.
Shen Xuhua was unexpectedly stopped at the age of 32.
Wang Huan, who hosted China Music Television, died of breast cancer at the age of 42.
Fang Jing, who hosted "Focus Interview", died of stomach cancer at the age of 44.
Too many hosts left us.
Born in the blazing era, they have experienced the great changes in Chinese television from scratch, from high to within reach, from the palace elite to the grassroots carnival.
Like a brilliant shooting star, crossing our beautiful and splendid life.
Maybe time is like this, unconsciously changing us, no matter how powerful the idol, can not withstand the wind blowing away.
But when the wind blows, their voices, their works, will still remain.
Just like Shen Li once recited "Youth Without Complaint" in the program.
"If you have to separate, say goodbye and be thankful in your heart for giving you a memory."
When the wind rises, we still think of those people.
Although I have said goodbye, there is still a hint of warmth.
Finally, to borrow a poem from the afterglow:
Once upon a time, a group of Chinese youth once looked at the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, wanting to see through the night and see the dawn of China.
Later, in the most beautiful and motherly country, they went to sleep calmly.
Leave the voice of China, gushing, endless.
