A investigative journalist in Henan suddenly dies of a heart attack!

Why did AI Wei Hua choose to conduct undercover investigations anonymously under the name “Urban Master”?

On the night of March 19, Wei Hua, a reporter from Henan Radio and Television Station’s Urban Channel, suddenly suffered a heart attack and tragically passed away at the age of 45.

He led the “3.15” series of reports, which had just concluded, and several articles received strong social reactions. The channel had planned to hold a review and commendation meeting for the “3.15” reports on the 20th, but Wei Hua, as the soul of this series, was absent.

Reporter Wei Hua’s name is not widely known. He was an undercover investigative reporter who never signed his name on his investigative works, but most netizens remembered the nickname “Urban Master,” which originated from him and eventually became a shared signature for him and his team of investigative reporters on the Urban Channel.
