去年十月,经济日报记者罗开富同志从江西瑞金出发,开始沿着当年红军长征的路线步行采访。他风餐露宿,跋山涉水,深入到人民群众中做调查研究。截至今年二月初,仅四个月的时间内,他就写了上百篇稿件。读者每天在报纸上都可见到他的行踪,并了解到长征路上今日的种种变化。罗开富同志这种炽热的革命热情和不畏艰险的精神,显示了当代中国新闻记者勇于进取的新风貌。他的这一创举,在国内外引起不少人的关注,人们都在注视着他的采访行程。我们祝愿他在前进途中取得更大的成绩;同时,也愿每位有志于描绘当代中国历史画卷的记者象罗开富同志那样,把开创社会主义新局面与继承革命传统联系起来,更加深入实际,深入群众,在新时期的新闻工作中不断有所创造。——编者 Last October, Economic Times reporter Luo Kai-fu started from Jiangxi Ruijin and began walking interviews along the route of the Long March of the Red Army. He had a good meal, hell and wading, and went deep into the masses to do research. As of early February of this year, he wrote hundreds of manuscripts in just four months. The reader can see his whereabouts daily in the newspapers and understand the changes that have taken place today on the Long March. Comrade Luo Kaifu’s fiery revolutionary enthusiasm and hesitation have shown the new style of courage in making progress for contemporary Chinese journalists. His pioneering work has aroused the concern of many people at home and abroad. People are watching his interview. At the same time, we also wish every journalist who is interested in portraying contemporary Chinese history, like Comrade Luo Kaifu, links the new situation of building socialism with the succession of revolutionary tradition and deepens our understanding in depth. The masses constantly create in the news work of the new period. --editor
