“IT is my interest,” Zhu Shenshen said.

His best page award-winning article was a natural result for him. “The market trend is clear, and developments make me excited,” Zhu said. “I started to write full-page technology stories from last October. I still remember my first one: ‘The importance of proper recycling.’ After that, the Finland company electronics recycling company Samill set up its factory in China, and Ministry of Information Industry published regulations on it.

“I like to write technology features. Basically I select three types of topics: they are either something hot or new, third is industry analysis,” Zhu said

Chen Jie, chief of design department, said: “For a page like this passed to us, time is the priority. We designed the page in order to convey correct messages, and it needs to be nice to look. These are the basic three requirements for designers.”

Editor Yang Xiaojun and designers Chen Jie and Wang Qifang made contributions to the report.
