Before 2011, regular meetings were held twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, but since 2011 the number has increased to five, and the workload has suddenly increased several times.

The specific process is that today's spokesperson will first release a few pieces of information, which is the information that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to release to the public, and then there will be a question session for reporters, and each regular meeting will generally last no more than 20 minutes.

Don't underestimate these 20 minutes, every day, you need to deal with major events at home and abroad, as well as all kinds of tricky questions that journalists may ask. This difficulty is quite large, and the amount of information that needs to be prepared can be described as massive, so you can imagine how much work this work is.

Muyang is a newcomer, still in the learning stage, and did not speak. He has always been observing everyone's working conditions and working methods, Muyang believes. With their own ability, they will definitely be qualified for this job in the fastest time.

About these materials, one by one, the time has reached 2:45, the meeting is over, everyone began to walk out, today Director Cheng Gang is the spokesperson, so he has to go to the Blue Hall of the South Building to prepare for the three-point regular meeting, the time is really tight.

Muyang suddenly thought of something, took two steps and chased after Cheng Gang and said, "Director Cheng, can I go to visit the regular meeting." ”

Cheng Gang didn't stop, glanced at Muyang with a smile, and said as he walked: "Okay, feel the atmosphere of the news conference, as well as the tricky questions of those reporters, it is easier to understand how to deal with the media." ”

Everyone came to the Blue Hall of the South Building, the reporter sat a lot, Muyang found a place to sit down in the back, look at the time, there are still 5 minutes.

The Blue Room is a press conference hall newly launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in October 2010. Located on the third floor of the South Building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with a total area of 550 square meters, twice the size of the old press room, the facilities are more international, professional and humane.

The original designers said that blue represents openness, courage, sincerity and harmony. Blue is also the color of the sea, and it is also the spirit and essence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is hoped that the "Blue Room" will become a bridge of communication, a platform for exchange, and a mirror that constantly reflects the process of China's reform and opening up.

The most striking symbol in the presentation hall is a large blue backdrop that is 5 meters high and 6 meters wide. The background board is inlaid with the outline of a white world map and the words "Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China" in Chinese and English, which means "keeping China in mind and looking at the world".

In the middle is a press table with a national flag on either side of the press table. Below is the press area, and Muyang sits at the end.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the regular press conference began, and Cheng Gang strode to the press table and stood still, "Good afternoon, reporters and friends. Then Cheng Gang went straight to the topic, "At the invitation of Foreign Minister Yang XX, Foreign Minister Sergei of the Russian Federation"

The three news that need to be reported are quickly finished, and the reporters are not very concerned about these contents, and the next question session is the most exciting.

A reporter asked: "Not long ago, Japan's Yasukuni Shrine was completely destroyed by a terrorist bombing, and the Japanese Government recently said that it would rebuild the Yasukuni Shrine. ”

"I have paid attention to this news, and the Chinese side has a severe attitude towards all terrorism."

"With regard to the fact that Japan was hit by a terrorist bombing attack and the Yasukuni Shrine was damaged, we on the Chinese side believe that the Yasukuni Shrine openly enshrines Class-A war criminals of World War II, and the Chinese Government expresses its strong indignation at Japan's act of grossly trampling on the feelings of the people of China and other Asian war-victim countries and openly challenging historical justice and human conscience, and lodges a strong protest and stern condemnation to the Japanese side."

"The war of aggression launched by Japanese militarism has brought grave disasters to the people of China and other Asian victim countries, and has also caused the Japanese people to suffer deeply. The Yasukuni Shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of the war of aggression launched by Japanese militarism against foreign countries during World War II, and it previously enshrined 14 Class A war criminals who committed heinous crimes against the people of the victim countries in Asia. The essence of the visit to the Yasukuni Shrine by a number of Japanese leaders was to beautify the history of Japanese militarism's aggression and colonial rule, in an attempt to subvert the international community's just trial of Japanese militarism, and to challenge the results of World War II and the post-war international order. The perverse actions of the Japanese leader cannot but arouse a high degree of vigilance and strong concern among the Asian neighbors and the international community about the future direction of Japan's development.
