By YAN HUAN (ANNIS)
Global Business Journalism reporter
Guo Hua has chosen as his English name "Light." As a journalist, he tries to shed light on the world through his reporting. As a graduate student in the Global Business Journalism program, he hopes to learn new skills that will help him better tell stories about China to a global audience in coming years. A reporter at China Central Television (CCTV), he was interviewed by fellow journalist – and classmate – Yan Huan, herself a correspondent for People's Daily in Madrid, Spain.
Q: Can you use three words, three photos, and three dates to describe yourself, your family, and your work?
A: About myself, I would say “optimistic.” The date would be January 3, 1990, when I was born.
About my family, I choose “harbor.” The big time for my family is May 8, 2019, when my son came to our world.
And about my work, I would like to say “serious” and August 30, 2012, when I started my career.
