Pan Yuntong. Reader's profile.
Name: Pan Yuntong.
Age: 75 years old.
Subscription time: 30 years.
Readers' perception: The evening newspaper is my spiritual sustenance, and I wish the evening newspaper better and better.
Luoyang Evening News has long been my spiritual sustenance, and I feel that something is missing if I don't read it for a day. Yesterday, Pan Yuntong, who lives in Tadong Community, Qianhe Hui Township, Qianhe District, said. At the age of 75 this year, he has been associated with the evening newspaper since its inception 30 years ago, and he has also witnessed the changes of the city with the evening newspaper.
The 30 subscription invoices bear witness to his indissoluble bond with the evening newspaper.
In Pan Yuntong's house, there is a brown paper envelope that has been treasured for many years, which contains 30 invoices for the "Luoyang Evening News". The first two are almost transparent because of their age, but the words "Luoyang Daily and Evening News Subscription Special Invoices" on them are still clear.
These newspaper invoices have witnessed the indissoluble bond between Pan Yuntong and the evening newspaper. He said that after graduating from high school, he never went to school again, but the habit of reading newspapers he developed at school made him accustomed to the company of newspapers. In 1992, in order to make a living, he began to sell cold vegetables in the living quarters of the locomotive factory at that time, and two years later, the evening newspaper was launched, and he began to subscribe to the evening newspaper.
It is very hard to do business, sometimes he has to go to buy vegetables at three or four o'clock in the morning, and he is busy until after 10 o'clock in the evening to close the stall, and the evening newspaper gives him a lot of spiritual comfort. Immersing himself in a sea of abundant information and knowledge was his most relaxing and enjoyable moment.
In 2012, Pan Yuntong was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage, and since then, he has not sold cold dishes. For him, who spends most of his time at home, the evening newspaper has become a window for him to understand society.
After 30 years together, he became a "loyal reader of Luoyang Evening News".
Pan Yuntong has a deep affection for the evening newspaper, and over the years, the evening newspaper has also continued to pay attention to him. In 2016, 2018, etc., the evening newspaper reported his story.
Pan Yuntong also has a "date" with the evening newspaper, that is, the Luoyang Evening News Reader's Day. He said that every time the evening newspaper held a readers' festival, he would not be absent, and would always go to the scene to cheer with the reporters. At the 2016 Evening News Readers' Festival, he won the honor of "Luoyang Evening News Loyal Reader".
What impressed the reporter the most was the 2019 Evening News Readers' Festival, Pan Yuntong walked 20 kilometers by bus from his home to the scene of the Luolong District Readers' Festival. When the reporter saw him, he was limping. It turned out that he had another cerebral infarction that year and was in the hospital for more than half a month. During the days of hospitalization, he asked his son to bring the evening newspaper to the bedside every day, because reading the newspaper was an important thing he had to do every day.
He was always excited to learn about the changes in his home from the evening newspaper.
It is precisely because of the importance and love of the evening newspaper that Pan Yuntong is reluctant to throw away the annual newspaper invoice, but carefully preserves, because this is a testimony of his deep relationship with the evening newspaper. Whenever he saw these booking invoices, he recalled the times he spent with the evening newspaper.
Although Pan Yuntong has been out of the house less often due to health reasons, he is always excited whenever he reads an article about urban construction from the evening newspaper. From the construction of the Erguang Expressway, the opening of the Xinjie Bridge across the Luohe River, to the opening of the Luoyang Metro, these changes at the door of his home made him feel that he and the city breathe and share a common destiny.
I will always insist on ordering and reading evening newspapers. Pan Yuntong said that the 30th birthday of the evening newspaper is approaching, and he sincerely wishes the evening newspaper to do better and better.
