Guangzhou welcomes everyone who comes to live here.
In the Millennium at the turn of the century, song ordering service was popular in prime time of TV stations. Yueyang, a fifth-grade student, became obsessed with the classic Hong Kong music in the radio waves, and became a die-hard fan of Beyond, a Hong Kong rock band in China. "I bought all the DVDs, VCDs and CDs about this band.". In 2012, this thick "spiritual sustenance" was brought to Guangzhou from Xi ‘an as he started his TV news career, and now it is neatly placed in the glass display cabinet of Yueyang’s new living room.
Since the beginning of this year, Yueyang, who is keen on sports, has not only interviewed Guangdong sports stars such as Yi Jianlian and Chen Guohao, but also participated in live broadcast or hosted large-scale sports events such as Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament, Guangzhou Marathon and Guang Zhouta Denggao Open. In his lens, the city is tolerant and full of vitality.
"Guangzhou welcomes everyone who is willing to work hard to develop here."
In 2018, recommended by colleagues, Yueyang moved into Vanke Jinyu Lanwan, located in Jinshazhou, from a family building of more than 30 years old near Luyuan Road, and became a Vanke owner. In this big community where my mother has repeatedly lamented that "the green environment is too comfortable", Yueyang likes to run along the river every day and watch Laoguang people play chess and sing songs. In his spare time on weekends, he prefers to travel through the city and record the moments of people’s life with black and white lenses.
Yueyang likes to record the life moments of people coming and going with his own lens.
"There are many restaurants in the north around Baohanzhi Street, and the mutton soup is delicious!" In Yueyang’s taste impression, Yangcheng cuisine is all-encompassing. There are "biang biang noodles" in old Xi ‘an, hot soup in Henan and snail powder in Liuzhou, Guangxi.
Today’s Baohanzhi Street is like a small "global village". In addition to many African friends living here, there are also friends from the Middle East and dream catchers from all over the country. In the neighborhood, the characteristics of Guangfu are not the mainstream, and all kinds of western restaurants, Southeast Asian restaurants and exotic shops are dotted around. There are many international firms in Xiatang West Road, Xiaobei Road and nearby roads on the periphery of the street. People of different colors come and go, and the goods of the Millennium merchants are transported to all parts of the world through these firms.
"I know a Tanzanian friend here. He came to Guangzhou with his parents to do business. We often meet to play ball. After he returned to China this year, he shared his life in Africa with me." In Yueyang’s eyes, Guangzhou is an inclusive city. "As long as you are willing to be practical and practical, Guangzhou welcomes everyone who comes to live here."
"The media profession is a window that shows me the colorful world."
"I love the media industry because it is a window for me to see the world, from which I can see all kinds of people and make close friends." Yueyang said.
During the May 4th Youth Day this year, Yueyang planned a series of reports on "Youth Should Be Promising" and interviewed a group of promising young people. Among them, after 00, Chen Guanfeng, a young man known as the successor of "Su Shen", broke the best result in Asia created by Su Bingtian in the same year and the same season in tianjin railway station in 2023.
However, when overwhelming care, love and even curiosity flooded into Chen Guanfeng, Yueyang chose to turn off the camera before the interview, sat cross-legged on the huge plastic track of track and field, and chatted with the young 00-year-old.
"I don’t want to consume him or put pressure on him." Yueyang said, "What a coincidence! We all love beyond! "
The shy Chen Guanfeng quietly told Yueyang that he had to wear headphones to listen to beyond’s songs every time he was training for strength. "He said it was his belief," Yueyang said, pointing to his own video. At the moment, the soundtrack of the picture is the well-known "Broad Sky".
Since 2015, Yueyang, as the anchor of the program, has organized more than 10,000 tourists to visit Kenya, Russia, Turkey, Indonesia and other countries, bringing enthusiasm and goodwill to the people from Guangzhou on seven continents and four oceans.
After eight years, Yueyang will often miss playing football with children from the African island country of Madagascar. "They are as pure and clear as the phrase’ I believe in baby’s eyes’ in Chyi Chin’s Declaration of Love. Although each other’s languages are unreasonable, sports have no borders. "
On the way back from filming that night, the style blowing from the Indian Ocean was refreshing, and the rice fields on both sides of the road whizzed. "We all thought it was time to stop. Everyone got off the bus and ran towards the golden full moon under the deep blue sky in the field."
Among the police accompanying the protection column group that night, an African guy who wanted to visit Guangzhou impressed Yueyang deeply. "I gave him a fan with the words’ Yueyang Tower’ and told him that if time permits, he would come again in 2025." At the time of parting, Yueyang pointed to the moon and told the other party in English that in Chinese culture, the moon can be used to pin his thoughts. "He is very excited and his eyes are shining."
Be keen on sports and witness the growth of vibrant Guangzhou.
In the reading stage, every Monday and Thursday, there will be a figure of Yueyang buying Basketball Pioneer in front of the newsstand. After work, after more than ten years of TV news, tracking sports hotspots has become Yueyang’s daily work. This year, he interviewed China Men’s Basketball Team and Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team, which won the 2023 National May 1 Labor Medal.Yi Jianlian, a member of the team, interviewed Chen Guohao and other famous sports players who led Guanggong to reverse Tsinghua’s first championship in team history and won the CBA "No.1 draft".
Yueyang is also often active in the scenes of major sports events in Guangzhou. On December 3rd, 2023, "Guang Zhouta Denggao Open" was held for ten years, which was the tenth consecutive year that he participated in the live broadcast of the event. The event attracted the active participation of athletes from all over the world, and athletes from Su Bingtian, Sun Yingjie and Lao Lishi also gathered in Guang Zhouta to witness the ascent. After ten years’ deep cultivation, Guang Zhouta Climbing Race has become the largest vertical climbing race in the world and the most influential in China. Together with Guangzhou Marathon and Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament, it forms the Guangzhou sea, land and air race system.
In his spare time, Yueyang almost arranged to play basketball three days a week, playing with colleagues after work on weekdays, and staying with the owner basketball community in Jinyu Lanwan on weekends. As the owner, Yueyang agrees with Vanke’s healthy and rich corporate culture. He is not only an active member of the community sports community, but also a loyal fan of Vanke Sports IP- City Music Run. This year, he was invited to participate in the Guangzhou City Music Run, which returned after three years, and planned to show his strength in Shabu Ancient Village, Huangpu on 1228.
"Sports keep me full of energy, and I am very happy to see Guangzhou gradually transform into a fashionable, healthy and progressive international metropolis." Yueyang said.
