In 2008, Zhou Ke joined the Jiangxi branch of Xinhua News Agency and began his career in journalism. As a journalist, his professional passion and desire to innovate are of paramount importance to him. On a cold morning on January 30, 2010, Zhou Ke came to Nanchang Railway Station to report on the Spring Festival. At that time, he needed to photograph the faces of passengers on their way back to add a touch of warmth to the report.
Just as he was preparing to shoot, a young mother appeared in his field of vision. She carried an oversized bag on her shoulders, a worn backpack in her left hand, and a baby in her right hand. Her body leaned forward because of the weight, and she looked a little struggling. And all this was recorded by Zhou Ke's camera.
Coincidentally, at the moment when Zhou Ke pressed the shutter, the mother suddenly raised her head and looked ahead, her eyes were determined. At this moment, her eyes moved Zhou Ke and made many photojournalists envious. The mother's strength and determination made Zhou Ke deeply feel the story behind the Spring Festival.
The release and award of this ** did not make Zhou Ke satisfied. He aimed the camera at the protagonist in **, hoping to find this brave mother. After several efforts, on January 20, 2021, Zhou Ke finally met Bamu Yubumu again. This time, they had dinner together and shared their stories and changes.
Such a follow-up report not only shows Zhou Ke's persistence and determination, but also makes the heart that has been troubled for 11 years finally fall. However, when he learned that the baby in ** had died, Zhou Ke felt great sadness. Despite this, he still felt the strength and optimism of Bamu Yubumu in life, and was happy and relieved that she had obtained a job.

From the beginning of the photojournalist to the first journalist to the text reporter, he has always tried to juggle multiple forms of reporting.

In 2011, Zhou Ke won the China Press Photography Gold Award and the China News Award for "Child, Mom Takes You Home". This award is not just an accident or coincidence, but comes from his years of hard work and unremitting pursuit.
