A pack of reporters flooded in. After the meeting wrapped up, Hubei governor Li Hongzhong stepped into the VIP hall to be interviewed for a CCTV feature. While the program was being filmed, reporters from different media waited on the sidelines. When that wrapped up, their interviews immediately began. When the question from China Business News was answered, and the question from Xinhua News Agency was answered, the governor waxed eloquent on the many attractive features of Hubei province, its stellar economic growth.<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u5de5\u4f5c\u4eba\u5458\u6b63\u6b32\u5f00\u9053\u62a4\u9001\u7701\u957f\u79bb\u5f00\u3002\u4e00\u4eac\u534e\u65f6\u62a5\u5973\u8bb0\u8005\u6025\u5207\u7684\u95ee\uff1a\u7701\u957f\uff0c\u60a8\u600e\u4e48\u770b\u5f85\u9093\u7389\u5a07\uff1f\u674e\u9e3f\u5fe0\u5927\u6012\uff0c\u8138\u8272\u57280\u30021\u79d2\u5185\u9634\u6c89\u4e0b\u6765\uff0c\u6012\u89c6\u7740\u8be5\u8bb0\u8005\u3002\u66f4\u662f\u5728\u5927\u628a\u63e1\u7740\u5f55\u97f3\u7b14\u7684\u624b\u4e2d\u51c6\u786e\u627e\u5230\u8be5\u8bb0\u8005\u7684\u5f55\u97f3\u7b14\uff0c\u52a8\u4f5c\u9690\u853d\u4f46\u575a\u5b9a\u7684\u5c06\u5176\u593a\u4e0b\u3002\u968f\u540e\u6124\u6124\u6b65\u5411\u8d70\u5eca\u3002\u5728\u5927\u95e8\u5904\uff0c\u674e\u53c8\u505c\u4e0b\u6765\uff0c\u6012\u89c6\u8be5\u8bb0\u8005\u201c\u4f60\u662f\u54ea\u4e2a\u5a92\u4f53\u7684\uff1f\u201d\u201c\u6211\u662f\u4eba\u6c11\u65e5\u62a5\u7684\u201d\uff08\u6ce8\uff1a\u4eac\u534e\u65f6\u62a5\u4e43\u4eba\u6c11\u65e5\u62a5\u4e0b\u5c5e\u5e02\u573a\u62a5\uff09\u3002\u201c\u4f60\u8fd8\u662f\u515a\u62a5\u7684\uff01\u515a\u62a5\u600e\u4e48\u8206\u8bba\u5bfc\u5411\u7684\uff1f\u6211\u627e\u4f60\u793e\u957f\u53bb\uff01\uff01\u201d\u7136\u540e\u674e\u9e3f\u5fe0\u5934\u4e5f\u4e0d\u56de\u8d70\u5411\u7535\u68af\u56de\u623f\u3002\u4e00\u4f17\u8bb0\u8005\u50bb\u773c\u3002\u636e\u8bf4\uff0c\u6b64\u65f6\uff0c\u8fd9\u4f4d\u5973\u8bb0\u8005\u773c\u5708\u5f53\u573a\u5c31\u7ea2\u4e86\uff0c\u5f88\u59d4\u5c48\u3002<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"translation\">Then the workers began trying to clear a path for the governor to leave. One reporter from Beijing Times hurriedly asked: Governor, what are your thoughts on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deng_Yujiao_incident\">Deng Yujiao<\/a>? Li Hongzhong became enraged, and his face went cloudy in 0.1 seconds flat as he scowled at this reporter. He looked at the pen recorder and the hands holding it and, moving subtly but firmly, grabbed hold of them. He then stormed out into the hall. At the main door, Li stopped and asked furiously of this reporter, &#8220;which media are you from?&#8221; &#8220;I&#39;m from People&#39;s Daily&#8221; (note: Beijing Times is a commercial paper affiliate of People&#39;s Daily). &#8220;And you&#39;re a Party paper! This isn&#39;t how a Party paper handles opinion guidance! I&#39;m going to your publisher!!&#8221; And then without looking back, Li Hongzhong went to the elevator and back to his room. The reporters standing around looked on, dumbfounded.
