“My Life, My China” is a series of interviews with ten Chinese journalists who are also Communist Party members as they talk about their views on the country and its major issues.

In this episode, journalist CPC members responded to some opinions on whether they are brainwashed, or are fed information.

Pan Deng, a host for China Global Television Network (CGTN), said journalism could not be isolated from its political and social environment.

"There is no ideal journalism which could be practical in every corner of the world, because journalism lives in the movement of society,” Pan stated.

Ma Zechen, a host for the French channel of CGTN, drew an analogy between journalism and a kite. “A kite is beautiful when it’s attached to a string, and it flies freely in the sky. But once you cut the string, the kite will fall to the ground.”

"It’s the same with journalism, and journalism is attached to its share of social responsibilities,” Ma added.

Concerning the purpose of journalism, Ai Kuining, from Fudan University China Institute, said, “reporting is just to reveal a truth or a want to find the truth, to help the society and solve the problem eventually.”

“My Life, My China” was produced by China Institute of Fudan University and Guan Video.
