On October 1, 2022, on the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the New China, the Beijing Daily will usher in the 70th anniversary of the pioneering journal.

In the previous article, we talked about the predecessor of the Beijing Daily- "People's Daily" (Peiping Edition) and "Peiping Liberation News". Today we will continue to talk.

Mountains and rivers are increasing, and the ancient city of Yong New Year

Since the stoppage of "Peiping Liberation News" on August 1, 1949, until October 1952 "Beijing Daily" was launched, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee was equivalent to no its own institutional newspaper. The functions of the government newspaper are temporarily borne by the People's Daily with Beijing News column and comments on Beijing. Interestingly, the "missing" of the municipal party committee report brought new opportunities to a private newspaper, which was the only local newspapers published and distributed in Beijing at the time.

In the history of the Chinese newspaper in the 20th century, it was purely from a folk newspaper and developed into a national influence newspaper department. Two companies cannot be ignored. The "Xinmin" newspaper created by the couple. As we all know, the Xinmin Daily is the predecessor of Shanghai's "New People's Evening News". In fact, "Xinmin Daily" and "Beijing Daily" are also quite related.

Zhou Qixiang, 102, has experienced the years of "Beijing Daily". He also has an earlier identity- "Xinmin Daily" Peiping version of the eclipse workers. Zhou Qixiang said that "Xinmin Pao" was founded in Nanjing on September 9, 1929, and later released a local version in Chongqing, Chengdu, Peiping, Shanghai and other places. As of 1946, the Xinmin Daily had five newspapers across the country, and there were 8 newspapers and published newspapers and publishing.

In 1946, when the "Xinmin Daily" Beiping Society was just two months, Zhou Qixiang entered the newspaper. He told reporters that after the initiative of Peiping's "Xinmin Daily", it was quite popular, with a circulation of 30,000 to 40,000, which was among the best in many tabloids in Peiping.

The newspaper manager is the famous Zhang Hui novel. Zhang Henshui has created three sub -publication columns "Beihai", "Bridge" and "Drum Tower" in Peiping's "Xinmin Daily", which has a unique style and a huge impact. At that time, some influential works in the society, such as Zhang Henshui's novel "Bashan Night Rain", Mao Dun's novel "One Page of Life", Lao She's long notes "Eight Food Storm", Guo Moruo's archeological article, Zhang Shizhao, Zhang Shizhao, Poems of Liu Yazi, Shen Yinmo, and Yu You Ren were published in the "Xinmin Daily" sub -publication of Peiping.

On the eve of Peiping's liberation, Zhang Henshui resigned due to illness. Deng Jizheng was not in Peiping. "Someone saw other newspapers closed down and felt that it couldn't take long. I wanted to separate the property of the newspaper's property." Zhou Qixiang said, at this time, the underground party member of the newspaper Guan Zhaoyuan stood out, set up an employee meeting, and called on everyone to "protect the protection factory".

Zhou Qixiang, who has not yet joined the party and has made progress in ideology, has also become a member of the employees. Under the organization of the union, only two or three people took one or three people to leave the paper and leave the fee. The rest of the people insisted on their posts. The most difficult time, the newspaper was unable to pay the salary, and had to divide the daily sales revenue to the employees to barely maintain life. Under such difficult conditions, on January 31, 1949, on the first day of Peiping's liberation, the front page of the Xinmin Daily published a magnificent and inspiring report- "Mountains and Rivers, the Spring of the Ancient City" Essence

After the difficult period, the Xinmin Daily, after other newspapers, or suspended publications, or seized, became the only newspaper that was approved to be issued in Peiping. After Deng Jiyi arrived in Beijing, the financial problem of the newspaper was resolved. With the new life of the ancient capital of Peiping, the Xinmin Daily glowed with new glory: the underground party organization was open, the youth regiment was established, and the union was established ... Zhou Qixiang, who was born in workers, gloriously joined the Communist Party of China and became one of the members of the newspaper management committee.

"At that time, it happened to catch up with the Ping Ping Liberation News. The only" Xinmin Daily "filled the local newspaper 'vacuum', took the opportunity to expand the layout, became 8 versions, and the circulation rose to more than 30,000. "Zhou Qixiang said.

It's just that this red fire does not last long. In early 1952, the Xinmin Pao was difficult to succeed due to difficulty in operating. Deng Jixi took the initiative to find Secretary Peng Zhen and demanded that the Xinmin Pao should be submitted to the country. She also suggested to Peng Zhen that the municipal party committee is preparing for the evening newspapers, and it is better to handle daily newspapers.

The "Preparation Evening News" of Deng Jiyi refers to the preparatory office of the Beijing Evening News, which was officially established in March 1951, which is the later preparatory office of the Beijing Daily.

The Municipal Party Committee Newspaper was once the "Beijing Evening News"

As early as 1950, Peng Zhen had already begun to consider the issue of the report of the municipal party committee. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, as Beijing, as the capital of the New China, hundreds of wastes are treated. The Beijing Municipal Party Committee does not have its own authority. It always feels that the propaganda work always feels uncomfortable. Considering that there was a daily newspaper in Beijing at that time, the newly established municipal party committee newspaper was named "Beijing Evening News".

In early 1950 after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to establish a new municipal party committee newspaper, tentatively named "Beijing Evening News", and conducted a trial issue, which continued until August 21, 1951 suspended.

On February 21, 1950, how Peng Zhen wrote to the Beijing Evening News to Deng Tuo, Liao Misha, Zhang Wentong, and Liu Ren. The letter said: "Comrade Shaoqi agreed to the Beijing News and instructed the response. Popular newspapers, the words should be printed to be more printed in order to see the laborer with low cultural levels. This batch is right. I want to publish the newspaper to solve the problem of work and the masses. "And said that this newspaper" avoid any party to any party. Eight shares and eight shares ", if a" not extra newspaper in the capital ". Peng Zhen also proposed that the candidates for the transfer of the newspaper "Clear mind, be able to write popular text, there is quite horizontal or cultivated." Who can take this time? Peng Zhen chose Zhou You, then the head of the Municipal Government News Office.

Tour, people are as famous as their names, frank and free, and naturally temperament. When he was studying at the Department of Journalism of Yanjing University in his early years, he actively participated in the Anti -Japanese Salvation Student Movement, and later rushed to Yan'an Luyi and Anti -Da University to study. He had risked his life and interviewed in the smoke in the Battlefield of Jihara. In 1943, after the long -term battlefield communication "The Battle of the Songzhuang of Hebei" was published, Zhou You rose in the press fame.

Peng Zhen knew his talents and knew his character. After finding him, the first sentence was: "Comrade Zhou You, if your name can be changed to" Zhou Ding '. The report can only be done well and cannot be done. "Zhou You did not avoid it. When he returned to the dormitory that day, he told the leader about his" criticism "to everyone, causing a joke.

In March 1951, at the 125th Courtyard of Suzhou Hutong, the Preparatory Office of the Beijing Evening News was officially established. In addition to Zhouyou, there is also Luo Lin, the secretary -general of the Municipal Party Committee Policy Research Office, and Zhang Qihua, an old underground party member who came from "Xinmin Daily". At the beginning, Lu Nian Gao, who was transferred from the Peiping Liberation News and worked in the municipal party committee and worked in the municipal party committee.

In addition, among the more than 50 people's compilation teams, most members are progressive students from universities and high schools in Beijing, such as Ye Zuxing of Peking University, Weng Wangwang of Beijing Normal University, Zhanghu at the Northern Normal University Normal University, and Zhanghu. Li Zhongxiu from Beiman Girls and so on. These young people have brought fresh blood for the preparatory office. They are vigorous, but they have not participated in news practice. Efforts to cultivate a news team that can adapt to the work of the party newspaper has become the most important job during the preparations.

Peng Zhen, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, taught reporters more than once. The first generation of reporters of Wang Jing and Lu Nian Gao's "Beijing Daily" remembered the metaphor of Peng Zhen's image: "Have you ever seen the eagle catch the chick? It was first stagnant in the sky, and found the chicks on the ground. After seeing it, he flew down, grabbed the chicken, and rose up the air ... "He used this metaphor to tell reporters that he should be like a hobby hiking. Like the eagle, I take the initiative to go out to catch the news, and do not sit at home and wait for news like the long neck and old noodles waiting for the fish.

In order to practice troops in actual combat and cooperate with the "Three Anti -" campaigns, at the end of 1951, the Municipal Party Committee decided to publish the "Anti -Corruption, Anti -waste, Anti -Bulletin Internal Communications" ("Three Anti -Talks") published by the Evening News Preparatory Office. "Three Anti -Triplets" issued a total of 70 issues. It is not a publicly issued newspaper, but the staff of the preparatory office are a comprehensive "training": interviews, edit, typesetting, printing, and even issuance. I have been experienced in practice.

Zhang Hu was just 20 years old. When it comes to the years before and after the creation, she was a bit proud: "We are the first batch of" children 'newspapers'. Our writing skills are hone with old editors. " "Edit", in fact, they are quite young, but they have some experience in the revolutionary base or in Peiping after liberation. Yuan Kefu, who is just 30 years old, Wang Jigang and Lu Niangao, who are less than 30, are "old editors" in the eyes of "children". Ye Zuxing once recalled this: "At that time, I practiced and wrote the" Newspaper ", which was introduced from the practice of writing short messages. At that time, the leader of the interview was Comrade Wang Jigang and Yuan Kefu. I was a reporter under the guidance of Comrade Lu Nian Gao. There are no editors, and Comrade Nian Gao must be a reporter and a manuscript for us. He can be said to be a dual compilation. "

In March 1952, the Beijing Municipal Government acquired the private stock of Beijing's "Xinmin Daily". On September 29, 1952, the Xinmin Daily was terminated. On October 1, the Beijing Daily was founded.

In April 1952, a large number of business backbones from the Xinmin Daily also joined the preparatory office. It turned out that on March 27, 1952, after the Beijing Municipal Government acquired the Xinmin Daily, it merged it with the Beijing Municipal Party Committee "Beijing Evening News" in the preparation. "Two good unity", "Xinmin Daily" equipment and staff more than 130 per capita merger merged into the preparatory office, including Zhou Qixiang. The "Beijing Evening News" has become a Beijing Daily. Therefore, the Beijing Daily has become a veritable municipal party committee.

The "Beijing Evening News" was founded on March 15, 1958. It became a vivid, lively, short and popular people's newspaper that was "insufficient to make up the Daily", which was loved by Beijing citizens.

Two months before the "Beijing Daily", a veteran "news female warrior" came. She was the first president of the Beijing Daily.

The head of "Beijing Daily" was written by Chairman Mao himself. Do you know how many times have you written?
