As Nov. 8 marks the 24th Journalists’ Day in China, the All-China Journalists Association officially released a promotional song for Chinese journalists titled “My Name.”
The song, performed by journalists and young singers, vividly expresses the journey of Chinese journalists in recording the pulse of the times with words and lenses, guarding fairness and justice, as well as adhering to their professional ideals.
My Name （English Lyrics）
You ask me why
I stand here
With the mud on my shoes
Frost on my shoulders
Pen in my hand
You ask me why
I never cease to move
To pursue the truth
To record the era
To guard justice
I believe
In the voice within my heart
I am persistent
In seeking truth and facts
I raise my voice
For those who remain silent
I sing praises
To the simplest warmth
My name
Is my badge of honor
My name
My idealism
My name
Is my armor
My courage and determination
Forever written
In my life
I take the torch
To spread the meaning of faith
I raise the lens
To witness the beauty of humanity
I give myself
To the things worth doing
One heart
Can move millions
My name
Is my badge of honor
My name
My idealism
My name
Is my armor
My courage and determination
My name
Is my badge of honor
My name
My idealism
My name
Is my armor
My courage and determination
Never let down the people
Worthy of the times
Forever written
In my life
