Changing China
Giant on the move
On Obama’s trail in Beijing
Guan Yongning is a senior cameraman with Reuters Television in Beijing . In 15 years in the field, he has covered stories ranging from natural disasters to politics and major sporting events. Guan was one of the chosen few reporters able to follow U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit in China up-close. He tells the story of what reporters have to go through to capture a few precious shots of the U.S. leader.
The reporters able to cover Obama’s visit up close might be considered the lucky ones. Following the American commander-in-chief means long hours working days, skipping meals, lugging around heavy gear and enduring the harsh Beijing winds. But would they give up the chance?
