THE ISSUES THAT MADE OUR YEAR

How time flies! This is my 10th year as a journalist. In recent years, I have often been asked, "How can you spend a decade reporting and not feel bored?" My answer has always been, "I go to the scenes of news or go to find stories".

Last year, I made several trips to rural areas across the country to see how grassroots courts have improved the quality of legal services. The experience not only helped me write more-vivid reports, but also enriched my life.
