what a reporter means to me

Leaving office at around 1 o'clock in the morning, finding nothing to eat in the street but McDonald’s, and walking home as quickly as I can, that’s a typical day of my working life.


Seems odd enough? Probably.

With long working hours, uncertainty of private time even space, reversed daily living habits, and most of all, lower pay compared to many other industries where required the same education level, what am I still here for?

To me, being a reporting is something like witnessing history, to be part of the events that are of great significance.

In terms of financial events, I always wish that how wonderful it would be if I were old enough to recall the Black Monday of 1987, informed well to aware Asia Financial Crisis of 1998, educated better to understand the bursting of Dot-com Bubble of 2000.

However, in the past two years, i witnessed substantial skyrocketing and plumping of stock market, experienced the most turbulent period of one of the leading international bank, and participated farewell press conference of one of the most successful and longest-incumbent central-banker around the world, most of which usually just happens once in a century.

And hours ago, another eye-catching event just happened, which is the announcement that the above-mentioned leading international bank is about to locate its CEO office back to HK from London. I was at the press conference again. Hooray!

What else rewards can i expect other than those exciting moment?
