Unfortunately, nothing can be written in the style of the Republican era now, and this type of newspaper can't change anything.
Anything involving military matters is off-limits.
Just look at the fate of Shi Liangcai to see what it means to run a newspaper in the Republic of China. Do you really think the Republic of China is the Republic of China you imagine? Unless you move the newspaper office to Yan'an.
Well written; it's not like those other Republican-era literary giants who were cowardly, greedy, and treacherous bourgeois types. Keep it up, write more!
A chivalrous spirit, returning to the Republic of China era to become an investigative journalist.
From the perspective of a newspaper writer, the book takes readers through two lines: people's livelihood and political commentary, allowing them to feel the undercurrents and passion of intellectuals in the Republic of China, and then extends to all social strata and political parties, using small details to reveal larger truths, much like documentary literature.
Repent and start anew.
As the title says, I've already behaved myself, please let me go... If you enjoy this book, please add it to your bookshelf, make a small investment, or vote with your monthly tickets. Thank you very much!
Is nobody in charge?
Still want to use the pen as a weapon? Look at the present! You can write whatever you want? The Republic of China era would have been even worse. If it were the Qing Dynasty, you could probably wipe out your entire family just by writing a single character.
After reading three chapters, I felt the plot was a bit too unrealistic. The author changed the newspaper's layout, and sales skyrocketed instantly... Shouldn't it take word-of-mouth, a good reputation, and time...?
Even the most scathing criticisms from intellectuals are still spineless.
Writing about intellectuals during the Republican era is a bad idea—intellectuals who criticize too harshly are often too afraid to retaliate, at least they'd carry a dagger, lime powder, poison, or explosives. A patrol officer arrested two people; it would have been better to just ambush and kill them. Don't talk to me about laws and regulations in chaotic times; even dogs don't obey them.
Newspapers are inherently biased, naturally carrying their own agendas. If you want to expose the dark side of the world, the path will inevitably be winding and circuitous.
Following the original text, I'll keep reading as long as I keep writing.
