Zhang Zuolin privately sent Shao Piaoping 300,000 yuan, but Shao Piaoping still attacked him in the Beijing News. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin asked Shao Piaoping privately why she was so unkind. As a result, Shao Piaoping's answer made Zhang Zuolin grit his teeth.
Shao Piaoping was the pioneer and founder of Chinese journalism theory, and at that time, the journalism industry was still in its infancy, and the newspapers at that time were still mainly publishing articles and publishing some views on the current situation, which slowly turned into a visit to the facts.
At that time, the functions of the news industry had not yet been subdivided, so Shao Piaoping was both a reporter and an editor, and she could be regarded as a "news all-rounder". Later, he also established his own newspaper, created his own "Beijing News", interviews, article writing, and running the newspaper were all run by himself.
Shao Piaoping's love and hatred are clear and her words are sharp. He attacked Feng Guozhang for attacking the Nationalist army, burning Hanyang, and killing his compatriots; he angrily scolded Yuan Shikai and devoted himself to propagating Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideas.
His articles were not afraid of power and dared to speak out for the rights and interests of the people, so they were liked by many readers, and his name was also the most dazzling name in the press at that time.
However, the people who were attacked were displeased, regarded him as a thorn in the eye, closed down the newspapers and arrested him, and even tried to set him on fire.
Zhang Zuolin had already heard of Shao Piaoping before entering Beijing, and he was well aware of the influence of public opinion, so before entering Beijing, he privately sent Shao Piaoping 300,000 yuan, and the result was completely returned.
After that, Zhang Zuolin also showed all kinds of overtures to Shao Piaoping in an attempt to bribe him with human affection, but Shao Piaoping was still unmoved, and what should be attacked was still attacked.
Zhang Zuolin had asked Shao Piaoping privately why he had helped him a lot in the past and why he didn't talk about friendship at all.
Shao Piaoping replied: "What Feng Jun used to help was Shao Piaoping personally, and what was contained in the newspaper was done by all the staff of the Beijing News, and had nothing to do with me Shao Piao. ”
Zhang Zuolin was so angry with Shao Piaoping that he gritted his teeth and finally ordered a reward and hunted shao Piaoping.
In the early morning of April 26, 1926, Shao Piaoping was arrested, and before his execution, he also bowed his hand to the prison officer and said, "You are exempt from sending!" Then he faced the sky that had not yet revealed the light, looked up at the sky and laughed, calmly and righteously. He was only 40 years old at the time of his death.
Some people say that to see what kind of person a person really is, you can't just look at what he says, but also what he does.
Then, Shao Piaoping is a person who unifies words and deeds to the extreme.
He attacked the warlords in the newspapers and spoke out for the people; he gave a speech calling on "Peking University, the highest institution of learning, should stand up and mobilize students from all schools to save the world and fight against it";
He also showed in words and deeds that even if he was arrested and imprisoned, he was threatened and assassinated, he still insisted on telling everyone the truth and the truth. When he called on others to "save and forget", he also used his life to take the lead in setting an example for everyone.
Shao Piaoping is also a person worth remembering.
