The music at the beginning of the news broadcast is called News Broadcast.

The opening song of News Network was composed by composer Meng Weidong. This short 19-second piece of music was born from Meng Weidong in March, 1988, and was started by News Network. After that, it was played in the prime time and gold medal column of CCTV at a high frequency once a day. It has not been changed yet, and it has been used for 3 years. Therefore, Meng Weidong was praised as a composer who "you can hear his works every day". Meng Weidong's name went down in history together with the opening song of CCTV's News Network.

This piece of music is only 16 seconds long, but the sparrow is small and complete in form.

the first two bars of "thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump. Next, the main part of the music was completely performed by the traditional Western Orchestra. Finally, after strict examination and revision, this unrepeatable classic was born, and Meng Weidong's name was also recorded in our history books.

In addition to the opening song of the news broadcast, Meng Weidong actually wrote many well-known classics, such as The Same Song and The Big Windmill, which was sung from childhood to adulthood.

At present, Meng Weidong earns at least more than 2, yuan for composing a song, while the opening song he created for the news broadcast only earned 1 yuan for his service. In his view, these are just the results of opportunities, and he is just like the "Wollongong's unsophisticated man" sung by Zhuge Liang in the Peking Opera "An Empty City".
