Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The morning after the death of legendary journalist Mo Dao,

The funeral committee announced the memorial service and funeral arrangements for Mo Dao.

A memorial service will be held in the capital on the following day.

Relevant news was released by China News Service.

At the same time, on this day, the main station announced that it would start filming the documentary series "Time Reporter: Mo Dao", which is expected to be more than ten episodes in length.

Huaxin News Agency, People's Daily and other large and small media also rushed to edit some scenes that Mo Dao appeared in previous reports and released them on various platforms as a commemoration.

Some independent bloggers who tell stories about people and history have also produced and released videos about reporter Mo Dao.

At the beginning of a video titled "How Influential Can a Journalist Be" posted by a blogger, a well-known figure said,

"He did his last story, just like he did every time he reported before. When his story came out, the center of public opinion couldn't move away from what he reported."

"...What we are going to talk about today is not a leader or a country. He is just a reporter. He is just the only special-level professional title and chief reporter of China News Service after the 21st century..."

At the end of the video, he said again,

"...beginning with news reporting, his life also ended with news reporting. When he made his death the content of his last report, the life of a great, legendary reporter ended. Perhaps after that, many It is difficult for another reporter to reach the level of a reporter of the times. His life is already a legend, and it will be engraved in history as eternally as the history he recorded..."

And the next day.

The day of Mo Dao's memorial service.

Although the obituary published by China News Service also mentioned that Mo Dao hoped that the funeral would be simple.

But obviously, a memorial service for a legendary figure can hardly be truly simple.

Starting from the early morning memorial service,

The funeral home where the memorial service was held was crowded with people inside and outside.

The main persons in charge of China News Service, news agencies, headquarters and other official media,

Leaders of the higher-level agencies of Huaxin News Agency, leaders who had been interviewed by Mo Dao, and leaders who had retired to the second line... all attended the memorial service and expressed condolences to Qin Huaishi.

The secretary-general of the National Federation, together with the director of the Human Rights Council and the children and women's protection organization, personally rushed over overnight to express condolences for Mo Dao's death.

In addition, many heads of state who had deep ties with Modao also came to attend the memorial service.

In interviews with reporters, they all talked about the intersection between reporter Mo Dao and them, and then expressed regret and sorrow for Mo Dao's death from the "standpoint of all mankind."

Of course, some of these leaders or ambassadors from the countries of Europe and America, who have some differences with Mo Dao,

I don't know whether it was because I was really sad, or when I looked at Mo Dao's body, I sighed in my heart, 'This old guy is finally dead.'

The existence of Mo Dao has given China a great advantage in the battlefield of public opinion and has made considerable achievements and contributions at the diplomatic level.

But for some countries, Mo Dao's existence is like a stick in their throats. Some people who were affected by Mo Dao's reports and directly stepped down or suffered other similar fates want to kill Mo Dao every moment.

Although Mo Dao was semi-retired before, he was still alive after all, which made some people feel a little uncomfortable... To put it bluntly, some people were a little scared because of Mo Dao's legendary and sturdy 'record'.

Almost everyone knows,

At this memorial service, many 'big shots' from certain countries came to see if Mo Dao was really dead.

However, there are some really sad moments in this.

At the memorial service, when the current leader of Kerner, who was also old, walked to Mo Dao’s coffin,

Perhaps due to the mixture of many emotions, Chief Kelner could not help but shed tears on the spot.

In some countries like Kerner's situation, the leader basically came in person. Looking at Mo Dao's body, he couldn't help but get red-eyed.

In addition, more people also came,

They belong to different classes and identities, and some are already old, or even very old. The audience who has witnessed Mo Dao's legendary experience,

Some are people who have been directly or indirectly affected by Mo Dao’s reports to varying degrees.

There are also people who just heard Mo Dao's legendary stories and later read Mo Dao's original reports.

For most people,

They were not necessarily devastated by Mo Dao's death;

But if it's nearby, in the capital, even people who have only heard of Mo Dao's legends would still want to come and see it.

Not necessarily mixed emotions, but...a legend is gone.

At the memorial service, there was an endless stream of people coming to pay their respects.

The crowds of people inside and outside the funeral home never seemed to decrease.

The crowd moved slowly and laid bouquets of flowers in front of the coffin.

Occasionally, people can hear another burst of crying.

The entire memorial service lasted until late at night, and there were still people coming.

A woman who heard about Mo Dao's death was a woman who had been brutally tortured in a large-scale human trafficking incident and was later rescued by Mo Dao.

After traveling from southern Europe overnight and making many stops along the way, I finally caught up with Mo Dao's memorial service.

Facing Mo Dao's coffin, this woman, who was still a little girl at the time, couldn't help but cry bitterly. She still didn't have the strength to stand firm until the people next to her helped her up.

…

Another day, the memorial service ended and Mo Dao was buried in the Capital National Cemetery.

On the same day, some cities in Benmon, Kerna and several southern European and American countries announced that they would erect statues for Modau.

The Chinese Journalists and Media Association, the National Journalists and Media Association, and the National Federation of Women and Children’s Protection Organizations have also made similar decisions to erect a statue of Mo Dao at the headquarters of the organization.

…

Five days after Mo Dao passed away.

The departure of legendary journalist Mo Dao is still being discussed on the Internet.

It's just that the heat has died down a bit.

capital,

In the small courtyard of Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi.

Qin Huaishi, who had finished attending Mo Dao's funeral, sat on the sofa in the living room.

Looking out the window, a little lost in thought.

Throughout the funeral process, Qin Huaishi neither shed tears nor cried hoarsely.

He was just very calm and calmly took care of the entire funeral arrangements for Mo Dao.

"Ms. Qin...Aunt Qin."

"I made some soup, would you like to drink some?"

The life assistant, a woman in her forties, came out of the kitchen and called out cautiously,

"Aunt Qin?"

After shouting some more, Qin Huaishi seemed to have come back to his senses.

"Um."

After a pause, Qin Huaishi responded.

Hearing that Qin Huaishi was willing to eat, the woman hurried back to the kitchen and filled a bowl of soup.

Qin Huaishi drank it in one gulp.

The life assistant asked Qin Huaishi if he wanted another bowl, and Qin Huaishi shook his head.

Just let the life assistant clean up and go to rest early.

That night,

Qin Huaishi washed up carefully.

Comb his silver hair neatly,

She put on the clothes Mo Dao had bought for her neatly.

at last,

Lying on the bed where he and Mo Dao rested together on weekdays.

Qin Huaishi closed his eyes and fell into a long sleep.

…

The next day, seeing that Qin Huaishi had not gotten up, the life assistant could not help but knock on the door.

When he found no one answered, he hurriedly opened the door.

Then I saw,

Qin Huai's poems, which were neatly sorted, have passed away.

On the same day, China News Service published another obituary.

"Ms. Qin Huaishi, the wife of Comrade Mo Dao, an excellent biologist and famous journalist, passed away peacefully at her home in the capital last night."

Later, Qin Huaishi was buried together with Mo Dao in the Capital National Cemetery.
