Officer Lu is a national defense student and a top student majoring in journalism. After he became a platoon commander in the company, he displayed his expertise in news writing, the good people and good deeds of the company, and his personal opinions, which were published in many places in the news and suggestions and suggestions sections of the division, army, and military region.
Political Commissar Li of the regiment attached great importance to news work, and he seconded Officer Lu to the Propaganda Unit of the Political Department, where he was mainly responsible for news and propaganda.
Officer Lu told Political Commissar Li that there is no shortage of news clues in the regiment, but there is a lack of eyes to discover news clues, and there is a shortage of news backbones in the regiment, so it would be nice if every company had one.
Political Commissar Li praised Officer Lu's suggestion and promptly organized and convened a political work union, and he asked each company to select two key journalists, each company to buy a single-lens reflex camera, and that if the funds for cultural work were insufficient, they could pay out of their own pocket money, and that Officer Lu should be responsible for the training of the whole regiment's backbone journalists in news writing and photography skills.
At the end of the year, Political Commissar Li said that the journalistic work of the regiment had blossomed in all major military newspapers and web pages, and that the regiment's journalistic work ranked first in the entire division, and that Officer Lu had also made a third-class meritorious service.
In April of the following year, there was a quota for the military newspaper to study in lieu of work, and Political Commissar Li said to Officer Lu, "This is a good opportunity for you, not only to improve your professional ability, but also to coordinate good relations and send more news to the regiment." Officer Lu also happened to want to go, so he went to the military newspaper to report as scheduled.
At that time, I was working as an education officer in the Communications Unit, where I was mainly responsible for preparing lessons for the regimental leaders. Political Commissar Li said to me: Officer Lu is in charge of processing and coordination over there, and you are in charge of collecting clues and sorting out materials in the regiment, and the two of you must do a good job of coordinating and strive to raise the news work of the whole regiment to a higher level this year.
All companies will report news clues to me in a timely manner, and if I think they are valuable, they will pass them on to Officer Lu. Sometimes in the middle of the night, Officer Lu called me ** and said, the newspaper has an appointment, you don't sleep tonight, and strive to send it to him tomorrow morning. I was relatively young and energetic, and I worked hard to get the news.
Once, Officer Lu called Political Commissar Li and said that it would cost money to come to the newspaper to coordinate relations, so how could this money be reported?Political Commissar Li said, you should put it on first, and then go back to the regiment for reimbursement.
At the end of the year, Officer Lu calculated that he had published more than 70 articles in the military newspaper in the past year, and he could undoubtedly rank first in the division, but he had advanced more than 40,000 yuan a year, which was equivalent to a year's salary.
At the end of the year, Political Commissar Li was transferred to another division to become the director of the Political Department, and shortly after the end of the second year, Officer Lu came back to the new political commissar to talk about the accounting, and the new political commissar said that it does cost money to coordinate the relationship between news and periodicals, but it should not be empty words, and the report also requires votes. Because a lot of the money spent by Officer Lu was used for entertaining guests and giving gifts, he didn't have tickets, and he couldn't report any tickets, so he only reported some tickets and accommodation tickets, totaling less than 10,000 yuan.
Since the propaganda unit of the regiment did not have the establishment of a press officer, Officer Lu went back to the company as a platoon commander in a fit of rage, saying that he would not write news after being killed!
Soon after he became the platoon commander, he was transferred to the main company and transferred to the division's propaganda section as an officer, and was in charge of education like me, and became my professional superior, but he never wrote news again!
