The Xinhai Revolution broke out, Huang Yuanyong was involved in the newspaper industry, like a fishing fish. He gave a pseudonym: Yuansheng. As a special correspondent in Beijing of The Times, declaration , and Oriental Daily, he calls himself a dissident. With the enthusiasm of being a transcendent above a political vortex, he fantasizes that he presides over the Qing Dynasty and pleads for the people's livelihood and society.
China's first professional journalist Huang Yuansheng
Yuansheng is naturally very capable of mastering the new career of news. The news he wrote has changed from the profound and profound meaning of the past, and the words have become more and more lively. Behind the lively words, there is a lively critical lightning. In just a few months, it became famous. His series of articles such as "The Inner Political Scene", "Recent Secret Political News", "Disguised Cabinet", "Detailed Record of Big Borrowing Troubles", "Secrets in Borrowing", "The Newspaper Trend", "Strange Beijing Society", etc., have caused a storm in the city!
Huang Yuansheng said that as a journalist, you must have four abilities: your brain can think, your legs and feet can run, your ears can listen, and your hands can write. Being able to think means having various qualities in investigating news; being able to run means making friends widely, being able to explore clues from all aspects, and interviewing in a timely manner; being able to listen means hearing means hearing one and knowing ten, hearing one and knowing the other, from the appearance to the hidden, and from the other to understand; being able to write means portraying and narrative, not overflowing or leaking, and keeping a gentlemanly attitude, and respecting each other's personality. For example, if I write a message, I will come and pick up the pen. It is not at all laborious. The effort is to collect materials one by one. It is best to get it directly by yourself and to prove it to the victim before you can believe it and comment. Occasionally, there are times when I hear it wrong, and then correct it immediately after obtaining the truth. Remember not to tell lies, not to speak empty words, and not to have prejudices. Regardless of being close to each other, you should treat everyone equally. Do not wear tinted glasses because of the close smell of acquaintances.
reporter claims to be a representative of public opinion, and he ate everywhere, and praises himself for his reputation. He says that he is the mouthpiece of society. In fact, objects are extremely complex, and ears are minimal. What you see and hear are all subjective knowledge, not the truth of things. Besides, the society is full of all things and the psychology is complex. How can your ears and ears be so comprehensive? It is as if you only know that thieves can be punished, but you do not know that their relatives die in bed, suffer no words, do not repay good, and do not use talents. There is no way, so you can take the spit of cunning officials and wealthy families to support you; you only know that heroes and heroes in the world are respectable, but you do not understand that there is a shady sin behind them; you point to the sky and draw the earth, and talk about it, and you seem to be super wise, but you don’t want some of the words you say so naively that even children laugh at you. Sometimes I ask myself that being a journalist for several years is really a big deal. Using today's newspapers as a law can falsely accuse an innocent and kind person out of thin air, making him a person who can be killed by the whole country. Moreover, one person is fabricated and copied by thousands of newspapers. The social psychology is weak and the easiest to be deceived.
Looking back on the four years since the Republic of China, as a reporter, I have always paid attention to the national conditions and destiny, trying to detach from the party, and shouting for the revitalization of the country. What I am most worried about is the division of China by the great powers, and what I am most worried about is the demise of the country. I love Yuan Gong for patriotism. I always hope for President Yuan and frankly express my advice. But what is the result?
