Personal experience

In 1978, he was admitted to Changsha people's radio station.

In 1986, he was transferred to Changsha TV station.

In 1992, he was transferred to CCTV international channel and has been the anchor of China news since then. He is now the head of CCTV 4 news group.

In 2006, the first personal essay was published. The book is divided into four parts: "my career situation", "my love and marriage view", "my beautiful experience", "my blog career".

personal works

In 2006, Xu Li published her personal essay women are an attitude. "One of the most common things in recent years is the so-called" celebrity publishing. "Xu Li said that as early as six or seven years ago, a Publishing House asked her to write a book, but no matter how encouraged by others, she couldn't make up her mind. However, in the end, in the matter of writing a book, Xu Li "fell out of the rut.". She said that the reason why she started to write now is that after entering the age of no doubt, she reflected on her life and had many ideas and insights to show others. Therefore, in line with the desire to share, she began to write herself calmly.

New book "feminine"

"Women are an attitude" is a book with strong femininity in both the cover photos and the title, which is different from Xu Li's professional and capable image on the TV screen. In this regard, Xu Li explained that highlighting the female perspective with such a strong "powder flavor" is because people have countless evaluation standards for women, "how women treat others is actually shaping themselves. In this sense, women are an attitude. " The title of the book comes from this.

From a young woman who has experienced the "Cultural Revolution" and "going to the mountains and the countryside", she became a host of Changsha TV station, and then went to Beijing to host CCTV's "China News". Since her employment, Xu Li has twice won the national government award and the Gold Award for Chinese program host. Almost all major news reports of CCTV international channel are hosted by her. In the eyes of ordinary people, she should be regarded as a successful person, but she told reporters: "I really can't be regarded as a success."

She said that the problem she is facing today is that in the face of China news, which has made all her career and sense of achievement, she begins to develop a kind of role fatigue caused by monotony and thinness. When she was 40 years old, she kept asking herself: in the reality dominated by the existing TV concept, how much room does a female host over 40 have to show? To what extent can we surpass ourselves and go further?

She told reporters that after the book was finished, although her confusion had not been completely solved, she had found the courage.

Live Iraq War: the scariest night

Don't think that Xu Li's career is only "brilliant". In the book, she said that because she seemed to be too serious when hosting the program, she had been questioned by many audiences, believing that she "paid too much attention to her image in the whole broadcast, and was domineering in questioning experts, like a primary school teacher interrogating primary school students". Leaders also seriously warned Xu Li: "we must step back."

It was the first time in 25 years that she was strongly questioned by the audience. For about a week later, she was nervous in front of the camera every day, and the frequency of errors caused by tension was constantly increasing, so that her heart would jump wildly when she was broadcasting the news.

In such a negative state, on March 26, 2003, the most terrible night of her career came. On that day, there was not much progress in the war. The synchronized pictures did not add up to more than five minutes. There was no telephone connection. Except for the news on demand, the rest of the time was reserved for interviews. From 6:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., after a rough calculation, she talked with the guests for nearly six hours. When it comes to having nothing to talk about, she only asks the guests to "add water" to the topic. "Afterwards, we said that that night, for the sake of the Iraq war program, we mixed up the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers."

That night, Xu Li's mood fell to the bottom. It's three o'clock in the morning when I come home from work. "I can't sleep. I ask myself in my heart: do I still have the courage to do it? Can you really hold on? At that moment, I really thought of giving up. "

"No one knows what happened in my heart," Xu said. "I don't want to hide it. The only thing I'm satisfied with is my willpower."

Interview with my husband

Xu Li has always been very low-key about her marriage life. This time, she inevitably wrote about her views on love and marriage, but in the nearly 100 photos disclosed in the book, she has her own friends, sons and mother-in-law, but there is no lover who is most important to her. In the whole article, she only uses "Mr." or "he" to replace her lover's real name.

Asked why she deliberately "anonymity", Xu Li said with a smile: "I just want to share with you in the book why I have such a marriage choice, expressing my own marriage and love view. As for who the other party is, it doesn't matter to the readers."

Xu Li said that she is a person who believes in love. "Although he and I have been married for 10 years, when we get together, we don't have anything that we can't accept. We completely accept each other and like each other completely. We have such tacit understanding and spiritual communion."

Xu Li also mentioned her 18-year-old son in the book, "I never asked my son to call him Mr. father. I just suggested that he call him father Zhang. He called for a period of time. About a year later, he took the initiative to remove the character Zhang and called father generously." Now, three members of a family with different surnames live together naturally and happily. "For me, the kindness of these two men, a big one and a small one, has made my life better."

personal honor

He has won the national government award twice and the gold award of the host of Chinese programs. Almost all major news reports of CCTV international channel are hosted by CCTV, such as the early celebration of the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the "9.11" attack, China's accession to the WTO and so on.

Xu Li's broadcasting style is unique and has a good reputation among audiences at home and abroad.

Hosting style

The rhythm of my language is speeding up. In fact, I was just approaching the normal speaking speed at the earliest. I also cooperated with the handling of tone, and naturally increased the emphasis on some stresses according to the characteristics of speaking in my life. These two aspects alone are already different. The key point is that after I deal with it in this way, it fits the news content very well. The transition from live voice to my voice is very natural. I integrate with the content.

In my broadcast, in fact, the most important thing is the change of tone, that is, what kind of attitude I am going to broadcast. Is it the reader, the communicator who understands the news, or the anchor who controls the news? What kind of psychological basis is used to decide what kind of tone. The basis is crucial.

As far as living environment is concerned, overseas audiences are certainly used to news anchors, and they are used to news anchors with personality. That's why they resent our stereotype. The clarification of this idea made me realize that Xu Li can handle the news as she understands it. Xu Li is a news anchor. As a result, the so-called Xu Li's broadcasting style, which people later described as majestic atmosphere, strong sense of control, vitality and personal emotional input, appeared.

The impact and controversy of this style was unexpected.

Personal life

Xu Li is frank and straightforward in her life, which makes people feel intimate at first sight. A beautiful woman, with an enviable career and a happy family, is just a footnote to the word "perfect". Xu Li brought her new book "women are an attitude" to Shenzhen for sale, and the reporter interviewed her. As the host of CCTV China news, Xu Li can't help making mistakes. She said that the most amusing time was the beginning of the program, when the camera cut to the front and she began to say the opening remarks. I don't know why I even forgot the name of China News and said, "welcome to CCTV..." I couldn't go on. Fortunately, the director didn't remind me. After more than ten years of speaking, it suddenly came out at that moment
