AI video sends Journalists' Day greetings from Linyi's ancient sages

To mark the 27th Chinese Journalists' Day, which falls on Nov 8, Langya News has released an artificial intelligence-generated video in which three ancient sages of Linyi, East China's Shandong province, send greetings to the journalists of today.

The video, titled "Those Who Hold the Pen", features Wang Xizhi, the Eastern Jin dynasty calligrapher revered as the Sage of Calligraphy and the namesake of Linyi's Calligrapher Sage Culture Festival; Liu Hong, the Eastern Han dynasty astronomer and mathematician known for his calendar calculations; and Zhuge Liang, the statesman and strategist of the Three Kingdoms period. All three were natives of the ancient Langya region, on whose legacy the city builds much of its cultural identity.

In the AI-generated footage, the sages address the working press with lines on recording one's times and writing for the people, a gesture the makers describe as a tribute to every working journalist from the city's own history.
