"Last Gatekeeper": Long-term reversal of day and night Night shift workers are overwhelmed

Day and night reversed, staying up late for a long time, irregular schedules, etc.
are the normal life of night shift media professionals, so there are many examples of serious diseases
.

Among the media personnel assisted by the 2022 class of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Xiang has been working on night shifts for more than 30 years, and has been diagnosed with cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction
in the past two years.
In 1986, after graduating, Zhao Xiang was assigned to the editor-in-chief office of China Legal Daily and began to work night shifts, and since 2003, Zhao Xiang has successively served as deputy editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief
of the People's Court Daily.
Zhao Xiang said: "When I was the deputy editor-in-chief, I had to take turns to work the night shift, and when I was the editor-in-chief, I had to look at the page every night, and I couldn't sleep without looking at it
.
”

In the past 30 years of journalism, Zhao Xiang has received many honors, such as the special government allowance issued by the State Council in 2010, the National Leading Talent in the News and Publication Industry by the General Administration of Press and Publication in 2012, and the Supreme People's Court for meritorious awards many times
.

Talking about night shift work, Zhao Xiang's biggest feeling is heavy responsibility and hard
work.
He said: "The night shift is the last pass for newspaper presentation, not a word can be wrong, and the responsibility is very heavy
.
The hard work of the night shift is mainly manifested in the fact that the working hours are not transferred by personal will, such as sometimes having to wait for important manuscripts, "not when you want to finish it can end"
.

He also remembers that in the late eighties of the last century, the night before the release of the draft of the Hong Kong Basic Law, "the full text of the Basic Law had tens of thousands of words, and at that time it was still typesetting in lead letters, and the word pickers specially picked up the typesetting, and they had to be pairs one by one that night, and they didn't go home until after seven o'clock the next morning.

”

Years of night shift work overwhelmed Zhao
Xiang's body.
In 2021, at more than one o'clock in the morning on October 1, Zhao Xiang stared at the page of the day, suddenly had a cerebral infarction at three o'clock, and was hospitalized for nearly 4 months before being
discharged.

However, shortly after being discharged from the hospital, Zhao Xiang had another sudden heart attack, which made his already weak body even worse
.
"After the cerebral infarction, under the rehabilitation training, my movement recovered to about six or seven percent, and after having a myocardial infarction, I couldn't do it again, and I had to learn to walk step by step from scratch
.
" Today, Zhao Xiang has to do at least four or five hours of rehabilitation every day
.

Among the recipients of assistance, there are many who work night shifts all year round
.
Han Jiwang, deputy director of the all-media release center of Inner Mongolia Daily and night shift duty director of the first page, has been engaged in news work for nearly 30 years, and has been fighting on the front line of news gathering and
editing.

On the morning of July 24, 2022, just after getting up from the night shift, Han Jiwang suddenly felt numbness in his left arm and slurred speech, and his family urgently sought help 120.
He was diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction by Inner Mongolia People's Hospital and was discharged after intravenous thrombolysis
.

When it comes to the value of night shift media personnel, many of the assisted recipients said that night shift work is the last gatekeeper and plays a very key
role.
Yue Quanquan, night shift editor of Qinghai Daily, said: "Most of the night shift work is boring, and I think the value of night shift is reflected in doing my best to plug errors in all aspects
.
" ”

He remembers one night in 2002, while looking at the page, he noticed that the name of a leader in the manuscript had been miswritten, "This mistake is very serious, and discovering these potential errors is my value
.
" ”

On August 20, 2022, Yue Quanquan was at work, "his eyes looked towards the ground and found a black patch", and he went to the hospital and was diagnosed with retinal detachment
.
After taking three months of sick leave, Yue Quanquan returned to work, but his eyesight was far less than before, and it was more difficult to read the page
.

The high-pressure working environment of the media day and night will inevitably cause some irreparable physical injury, and even endanger
life in serious cases.
Among the recipients of assistance in 2022, three media professionals died due to long-term journalism and illness
.

Zhao Xiang said: "It turned out that when China Legal News, some of our colleagues on the night shift were not too old and passed away
.
Yue Quanquan also said: "There are quite a few people who get sick on the night shift, and there are
all kinds of diseases.
”

Looking to the future: stick to it and warm more media people

In Zhao Xiang's view, night shift editors are a very hard group of people in the media, and the "Night Shift Media Personnel Assistance Project" reflects the society's special care for the special group of night shift workers in the news media, and also reflects the respect
for night shift media workers.

"The continued focus of the aid program on caring for night shift media professionals is a great spiritual comfort
for those of us who have been working night shifts for many years.
" Han Jiwang said
with deep feelings.

Night shift work in the media is inevitable
.
As a representative of aid, Han Jiwang called on more caring organizations to pay attention to night shift media personnel
.
He said: "I hope that the society will have more caring institutions such as the China Economic Media Association, the Media Tea Party, and the China Guanghua Science and Technology Foundation, and pay more attention to and support the media people who work night shifts, so that they can have less worries
.
" ”

With the support of all sectors of society, the "Night Shift Media Personnel Assistance Project" in 2022 raised a total of 1.
65 million yuan in aid funds, including 600,000 yuan from Shanghai 2345 Network Holding Group Co.
, Ltd.
, 500,000 yuan from Aier Ophthalmology, 150,000 yuan from Primavera Capital, 100,000 yuan from Mengniu Group, 100,000 yuan from Jiuyang Co.
, Ltd.
, 100,000 yuan from Fushouyuan, and 100,000 yuan
from a caring enterprise.

Chen Yubing, chairman of 2345, co-sponsored the Night Shift Media Personnel Assistance Project, said: "I hope that this event will allow more caring public welfare people, organizations and enterprises to pay attention to the group
of night shift media professionals.
2345 will continue to start from human care, carry out both righteousness and benefit, maintain the heart of public welfare, and help the healthy and orderly development
of the industry.
”

Regarding the future of the night shift media personnel assistance project, Liu Canguo, the initiator, said: "I hope that more caring enterprises will participate in this project, promote the project to become bigger, get more attention, and help more media people
.
" In short, keep going, bigger and bigger, better and warmer!" Liu Canguo is the vice president of the China Economic Media Association and the founder of the
Media Tea Party.
