It's o'clock. In another o'clock, people responsible for copying newspapers will come in droves, and this small courtyard will become extremely lively.
Xiao Jing sat at the table with a pen, but after a while he put the pen down again; he repeated this for a long time, but he did not write even a single word on the large blank paper.
What should I write in the inaugural statement?
In fact, this is not a rush job. After all, the other three editions have been finalized. Those alone are enough to keep Old Man Zhang and the copywriters busy for a while.
However, Xiao Jing doesn't have procrastination. He doesn't like the feeling of being anxious and angry when he puts off anything he needs to do until the last minute.
Fortunately, the name of the newspaper had already been decided, so he didn't have to deal with two troubles at the same time.
On the masthead, there are two big words written: Mirror. The etymology of this name is not from the British Mirror.
At that time, there was a debate over who should inscribe the inscription. Xiao Jing wanted to find Mr. Shao, but Shao Ning said coaxingly: "Why are you looking for me? Why don't I just come?"
Although his calligraphy is not ugly, it is still a little worse than Xiao Jing's. Dong Xiaoya's calligraphy is as delicate and soft as hers, but in the traditional sense, newspaper inscriptions are vigorous and powerful types, and girls' calligraphy
Going up, it will inevitably give people a feeling of lack of strength.
Xiao Jing also had other ideas, such as taking words from collections of famous people from this dynasty or history and putting them together into a "Mirror". Who knew that as soon as this idea came out, he was deeply despised by Shao Ning: "
If you are not afraid of being criticized, just choose it!"
Think about it. For celebrities, fonts are their symbol in a sense, and those well-educated people will definitely recognize them at a glance. Although if you have to do it, you can take this "free ride", but for the sake of
If you don’t want to make people laugh, let’s forget it.
After all, newspapers in the true sense are still a new thing. If in the future... Hey, even if the front-line celebrities cry and shout to write inscriptions, I still have to think about it!
After collective discussion, everyone decided to let Xiao Jing write it. After reluctantly taking on this important task, Xiao Jing wrote it many times before picking out the one that was described in the story of "Einstein's Three Little Benches".
A relatively more satisfying version.
As for the founding words...
After thinking about it, Xiao Jing finally put pen to paper.
“If you use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; if you use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; if you use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses.
The Mirror also got its name from this.
The most difficult thing in a person's life is to understand the word "clearly".
People always think that they have recognized the familiar people around them. As they grow older, they will also feel that they have recognized the world and everything.
However, even in their old age, how many people dare to say that they have recognized themselves?
Everyone needs a mirror, such as a mirror.
It can not only illuminate people's faces, but also illuminate the ugliness hidden deep in people's hearts or in every corner of the world. Only through this can more people remember "I have to examine myself three times a day."
This sentence.
It cannot tolerate ugliness, but it is also a magic mirror. It can reflect all beautiful things, whether it is scenery, events or people; everything will be more beautiful because of its existence.
Through this mirror, you can also see a better version of yourself. If you don’t want to live your whole life in confusion, please bravely walk to the mirror, and then look squarely at the you in the mirror who may not be so perfect.”
Shao Ning's proud shout came from the yard: "Xiao Yuan, how many times have I told you. From today on, don't call me Brother Shao Ning. Just call me Reporter Shao. Do you understand?"
Dong Huaiyuan asked curiously: "Reporter? What is a reporter, brother Shaoning?"
Shao Ning said arrogantly: "You have no idea? You don't even know what a reporter is!" He paused and then said: "About reporters... Well, I'll think about it later, Xiao Jing, he
What did you say..."
Xiao Jing smiled and started swaying on the paper again.
"The source of knowledge is not just books. No matter whether you live in a temple or far away, everyone has something they need to know.
People are different. Even if we can find people with similar temperaments, temperaments and even looks in the world, we will still find many differences between them.
A is a hunter, B is a fisherman, C is a weaver, and D is a farmer. The knowledge they need is naturally different.
Likewise, the width of one's vision, the position of one's position, and the location of one's interests will all affect people's views on things.
Regarding a certain thing, person A may think it is absurd, but person B may think it is innocuous. A more intense example is the debate that exists among various schools of thought today.
Things are not clear-cut. The confrontation and collision of opinions may not bring about a result acceptable to everyone; however, it can allow people to understand each other's ideas and seek the greatest consensus among them.
Disseminating knowledge and information to the most appropriate people in the most correct way at the most correct time, and then helping people distinguish the right from wrong and clarify the clues from experience and lessons, this is also one of the functions of newspapers."
Shaoning was still buzzing in the yard, and the sound was very noisy. Xiao Jing couldn't help but yelled: "It's time for you to teach!"
Only then did Mr. Shao shut his mouth. He grabbed most of the teaching aids and said to the dazzling Dong Xiaoya: "Let's go, Mr. Dong! Oh, I should call you Editor Dong!"
"Master Shao, stop making fun of the slave family." Dong Xiaoya said shyly: "This is also the master's order. The slave family may not be able to do it."
Xiao Jing smiled slightly. Xiaoya is such a humble girl. When discussing the content, she came up with many ideas that Shao Ning and Pan Feiyu didn't think of. How could such a capable person not be a good editor?
Speaking of Pan Feiyu... Well, "Recruitment Edition" is also doing very well in his hands. Because there are many fewer people writing letters in nearby towns, he was sent to provide temporary support. Yes.
For him, this is considered a type of community service, right?
Xiao Jing's pen fell again.
“…We are witnesses and recorders of the times, not lofty saints.
Working for justice is our responsibility and unshirkable obligation. Everything we do is to hope that there will be more smiling faces and less suffering in the world.
What would the world be like if no one spoke up for the voiceless?
The Mirror's job is to let all readers know everything they need to know in a timely manner:
If one more person sees the new knowledge in the newspaper, more people may be lifted out of poverty and live a better life;
If one more person sees the news about scams and fraud prevention, there may be one less family broken up by fraud;
If one more person sees the reports after the disaster, the anxious heart that is worried about their loved ones may be comforted earlier, and more people will receive necessary assistance before their lives come to an end.
if……
This is the meaning of the existence of "Mirror"."
Finally finished.
Xiao Jing put down his pen and looked at the words on this piece of paper attentively.
He sometimes held the paper in his hand, and sometimes put it back on the table. At first, his hand lightly tapped the table; after a while, the hand clenched into a fist again.
Finally, he stood up and put the paper away in the cabinet.
Xiao Jing took a piece of white paper and started writing again. However, this time he only wrote one line:
Chapter completed!
