Six candidates, after a simple interview, Li Yu eliminated one of them, leaving five remaining. As for who ultimately gets the job, that will depend on the assessment results.
Among the five, Li Yu had the highest hopes for Liu Yuchen, because Liu Yuchen had been an investigative journalist for a while, a profession that is basically on the brink of extinction. It offers low income and carries a high degree of danger, and the painstakingly written articles still risk being rejected by the leadership.
After one and a half years, Liu Yuchen saw that things were not looking good and decisively bolted, but the experience he amassed remained. Moreover, he wasn't like Lai Zhenfa, who loved to show off; Liu Yuchen had a relatively low-key style of doing things, which was another trait Li Yu appreciated.
