Huang Yuansheng hopes that the news can be standardized, and he is also dying on the "news irregularity": It is precisely because the overseas Chinese who killed him believed the rumors of the local newspaper that they desperately wanted to get rid of Huang Yuansheng, a "Yuan Party member." In the public opinion environment of the early Ming Dynasty, is it not a fool's dream to demand "the rule of law in journalism"?
Huang Yuansheng, a well-known reporter of the people's republic, the editor-in-chief of "Yongyan", and a special correspondent of "Declaration" and "Times", wrote a newsletter that became popular among the population, and it was rumored for a while, and some people even said that "the communication of China's newspapers actually began with Huang Yuansheng."
Huang Yuansheng
In 1915, Yuan Shikai prepared for the imperial system and hired Huang Yuansheng as the chief writer of the imperial newspaper Asia Daily.
Unwilling, Mr. Huang fled Beijing on September 3, issuing a statement in Shanghai denying the appointment. In mid-November, Huang Yuansheng bought a boat to go to the United States. On December 27, in San Francisco, USA, he was shot and killed on his way back to the hotel, but the killer was not captured.
The news of the death spread to China, and Huang Yuan's friendship before his death accused Yuan Shikai of failing to take advantage of it and killing people to vent his anger. However, the later news made them dumbfounded. It turned out that huang Yuansheng was killed by local patriotic overseas Chinese, who thought that Huang Yuansheng was Yuan Shikai's lackey.
manslaughter!
Helpless relatives and friends had no choice but to tearfully collect the will for Huang Yuansheng and hold a meeting to mourn. Lin Zhijun and Zhang Dongsun wrote the preface to "The Legacy of Yuansheng", vigorously arguing that Bai Huang Yuansheng was "our anti-Yuan comrade".
The book shadow of "The Legacy of the Distant Life"
The case is not over. After liberation, when checking the archives of the Beiyang government, a note by Huang Yuansheng in July 1913 was found, which said: "It is advisable for the Police Department to organize special organs, specially inspect newspapers, interfere with the law, and choose to edit as detective materials." On the one hand, we organize news and communication organs to straighten out all arguments, chronicles, and so on. This surprised historians, and researchers had to admit that this was evidence that Huang Yuansheng was used by Yuan Shikai.
On the surface, this article Chen is advocating the dictatorship of public opinion, but in fact, the key to the submission lies in the five words of "interference from the law" -- Huang Yuansheng has always advocated that China should practice the "rule of law.", he said, the country ruled by law will never allow the existence of individual forces, and news must of course be regulated by law. ”
He said that engaging in journalism in this era is really "a big evil deed."
It is also because of the five words "interference from the law", this article chen has not been adopted by Yuan Shikai at all, and it can be directly used to bribe and assassinate, so why use the law?
