Soon after, he was entrusted with the important task of becoming the host of "News Network". He has been in this position for 32 years and has never made a slip of the tongue.
As an important platform for delivering news events to the masses, China's highest-rated and most influential news program "News Network" has extremely strict requirements for hosts, and many famous CCTV hosts have a deep experience.
Sa Beining and Kang Hui in CCTV F4 once said that they would pay a fine of 200 yuan every time they said a wrong word when hosting a show. And the famous host Bai Yansong deducted a month's salary when he first started to work as a host on CCTV.
Although Zhang Hongmin did not make a slip of the tongue, he also made a small mistake in front of the screen.
On the evening of November 3, 2008, when the "News Network" program was broadcast for 11 minutes and 14 seconds, Zhang Hongmin suddenly hiccuped.
At the moment when the Internet is developing at a high speed, any action of a public figure may cause a sensation, so the scene of Zhang Hongmin's hiccups during the live broadcast quickly became a hot topic of discussion.
Every statement should be covered, because after all there are a thousand Hamlets for every thousand readers, but most people remain rational and think, "If there is no fault in man, he is not a sage, and if there is no mistake at all, he is a machine." "Hiccups are a normal physiological response, like blinking, and it's no surprise. ”

He has intersected with some love partners, so about Zhang Hongmin's marriage, his parents, relatives and friends have worried about him.
Since Zhang Hongmin joined CCTV in 1982 as the host of "News Network", his parents have always fully supported his work.
In order to ensure that he has a good work environment, his parents often choose to either watch silent TV in the evenings or not watch it at all, so as not to disturb their son's rest.
His mother would make a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Zhang Hongmin every day to moisten his throat. This Xi has been maintained for many years.
It is precisely because of such considerate care from his parents that Zhang Hongmin can work hard at work. The job of an announcer is very vocal.
The mother anxiously Zhang Hongmin saw that her son had reached the age of talking about marriage, and she said: "Son, find someone to talk to after work." ”
Zhang Hongmin is in the rising period of his career, he knows the importance of work, so he sincerely said to his mother: "Mom, my work is very stable now, I must be meticulous, and the work in Taiwan is also very busy, how can I have time to be distracted and fall in love?"”
Zhang Hongmin was finally hit by his mother's nagging, so he made up his mind to be open and honest in a relationship.
Fate came in a hurry. Once, when Zhang Hongmin visited the home of a university teacher, he happened to meet a little sister who came to ask the teacher for advice.
The little sister is handsome and beautiful, and she is also a student at the school, and the two are like-minded, so they started a relationship.
The relationship didn't last long before it ended, and the good times didn't last long.
Due to the high pressure of work, Zhang Hongmin often forgets their appointment time, and may even be urgently recalled to work in Taili during the date, which makes the little sister leave a bad impression on him.
Although the little sister understands that it is because of work, when she is young, she always only thinks about romance and passion, and ignores the importance of life. In the end, the relationship ended in failure.
Zhang Hongmin's parents began to gradually understand their son after this relationship, and no longer urged him urgently, but chose to let everything go naturally. With the passage of time, Zhang Hongmin has entered middle age in a blink of an eye.
Before Luo Jing died, he said a word to his friend, persuading him to give up love for the sake of his career.
Luo Jing was born in 1961, joined CCTV immediately after graduating from Communication University of China, and became the host of "News Network" in the same year.
Luo Jing is different from Zhang Hongmin, he married his wife Zhang Jihong in 1988, and welcomed his son Luo Shutong seven years later.
The arrival of his son adds laughter to the family, making it full of joy and warmth, but Luo Jing is often absent at important moments in the family.
His wife longed for a glimpse of the magnificent view of the sea, but he failed to fulfill her wishes;The son repeatedly nagged that his father would attend his student council, but he still did not go;Even if his son is hospitalized due to illness, he can't accompany him, because his work requires him to always stay in the host position of "News Network".
Due to the long-term intense and heavy work, Luo Jing eventually fell ill. In 2008, he was diagnosed with lymphoma during a physical examination.
Then, after he hosted "News Network" on August 31, 2008, he actively accepted**, which was the last time he hosted the show.
However, despite his aggressive response, the disease still ruthlessly took him away. On June 5, 2009, Luo Jing unfortunately passed away at the age of 48 due to ineffective rescue, leaving behind orphans and widows.
Zhang Hongmin once visited Luo Jing, and during that meeting, Luo Jing confided his life memories to his friend Zhang Hongmin, and confessed to him: "The biggest regret in my life is that I have not been able to care for and accompany my family with my heart, and the current state will not be able to make up for it in the future." ”
Luo Jing's remarks deeply touched Zhang Hongmin, who watched his friend look back on his life full of regrets, so he decided to dedicate his life to journalism and no longer think about anything else.
After Zhang Hongmin returned home, he expressed his decision to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I have made up my mind, I plan not to get married in this life and live alone." Without the constraints of marriage, I can devote myself to my work more fully. ”
The parents said worriedly: "When you get old, we won't even worry about you in a hundred years, and we can't bear to imagine how lonely you look like." ”
Zhang Hongmin said lightly: "Now the country's policy is very generous, I will have a pension after retirement, and I can also choose to go to a nursing home, you don't have to worry about me." ”
The parents saw that their son had made up their mind, and they had nothing to say but to respect their son's choice.
In fact, Zhang Hongmin did more meaningful things without the ties of his family.
