The late TV anchor Luo Jing won the Life Achievement Award given by Golden Microphone Awards - the top honor for China's TV anchors.

Luo had worked for "Network News Broadcast," CCTV's daily live news program, for more than 20 years before he died of cancer in June.

Luo read some of the most important news of the country, such as the death of Deng Xiaoping in February 1997, and Hong Kong's reunification with the Motherland three-and-half months later.

His colleague Li Ruiying received the award on Luo's behalf.

Twenty TV and radio anchors and newsreaders are shortlisted from more than 300 candidates vying for the Best Anchor award.

Many of the award-winning programs were about the Sichuan earthquake last year. The story of Sun Jing of Chengdu Radio, who worked tirelessly during the earthquake, updating news and comforting the citizens, was one that stood out.
