Shan Juan: Renewed passion

Most memorable stories: Those related to China's family planning policy. It's been seven years since I first wrote about China's 40-year-old birth policy. At the end of last year, the government decided to abandon the old policy and announce a "universal two-child policy".

The change, based on common sense reality, renewed my passion for journalism, which I believe can help to shape a nation and people.

There's a great feeling of power when you strive for something you believe in, and then see it come true. Of course, there are still other issues to address and rights to be met, and for common sense to prevail again. That feeling will inform my work this year.
