On this day, 90 years ago, on October 22, 1935 (September 25, 1935, the lunar calendar), Mr. Ge Gongzhen, a senior journalist in my country, passed away. On October 22, 1935, Mr. Ge Gongzhen, a senior journalist in my country, passed away. Ge Gongzhen was a famous patriotic and progressive journalist, journalist scholar and researcher of the history of China's journalism in the 1920s and early 1930s. He was born in Dongtai, Jiangsu Province in 1890 and worked in Shanghai's Times and Shenbao for nearly 20 years. Starting from March 1933, he visited the Soviet Union for more than two years and wrote a number of reports to introduce the Soviet Union's socialist construction cause to the country. He has written monographs such as "The History of Journalism in China", which has contributed to the innovation of journalism in China, and is one of the pioneers in the study of journalism and the history of journalism in my country. On November 26, 1985, the People's Daily published a commemorative article by Ge Baoquan,"Recalling the Second and Third Events of Uncle Ge Gongzhen": November 27 this year was the 95th anniversary of the older generation of newspapers and progressive patriotic journalists, my uncle Ge Gongzhen. The birthday, and October 22 is the 50th anniversary of his death. Recalling that during his lifetime, I lived with him for a long time and deeply received his cordial care and teachings, I now take this opportunity to recall two or three events in his life. The first is his lifelong diligent and studious spirit. He was born in a so-called "worldly scholarly" family in Dongtai County, northern Jiangsu, Jiangsu Province. He was very intelligent since childhood. He studied at home and private schools, and later entered the only college of higher learning in Dongtai County. He ranked first in the graduation exam. From then on, he has embarked on the road to becoming a talent entirely through self-study. When he worked for the Shanghai Times, he often went to the Youth Association to tutor his English; Later, he went to Europe, America and Japan to inspect journalism and visit, and taught himself French, German and Japanese; even when he visited the Soviet Union in his 40s, he taught himself Russian, and he was able to read and speak. He encouraged me to study hard very early. I remember that when I was a child, he gave me a box of building blocks. He wrote two sentences in neat small letters inside the lid: "A house is made of brick by brick, and knowledge is a book. Read it one book." The second is his firm belief in dedicating himself to journalism all his life. He arrived in Shanghai in 1913. He first worked as an apprentice in the picture department of Youzheng Bookstore, and the next year he joined the editorial department of The Times. He rose from proofreading, assistant editor, and editing to editor-in-chief, and devoted his life to journalism. He worked for The Times for 15 years, and then for Shenbao for 3 years. He did a lot of work on the innovation of newspapers, creating the Pictorial Times and Shenbao Weekly Pictorial. At the same time, he also concentrated on studying journalism and wrote books such as "Summary of Journalism" and "History of Journalism in China." He has also conducted research on journalism in various countries and is also engaged in promoting and promoting journalism education. I remember that after I arrived in Moscow in early 1935, I co-wrote communication literature with my uncle such as "Mei Lanfang in Shulian" and "The General Life of the People of Shulian in Recent Shulian"(at that time, he used the word "Shulian" instead of the usual use of "Soviet Union" in his newsletters). In October of that year, he returned to China during the severe national disaster. Unfortunately, he died of illness a few days later, at the age of 45. It is impossible to complete his last wish to rewrite "The History of Newspapers in China" and his plan to write "Investigation of Newspapers in Various Countries around the World." The third is his modest, prudent and approachable style. He has been an aboveboard person throughout his life and has never fished for fame or fame; He treats people equally and is amiable, and takes pleasure in helping others, especially by helping colleagues and underachievers. Despite this, he was still subject to rumors and slander by "tabloid newspapers" back then. Even when his old colleague Bao Tianxiao in the Times wrote "Memoirs of Chuanyinglou" in his later years, there were still many inaccuracies and ironies about him. My uncle never cared about these things during his lifetime, nor did he take it to heart, but often laughed them off. Everyone who worked with and had interactions with him during his lifetime knew these noble qualities of him. My uncle pursued progress throughout his life and loved the motherland. In the early 1930s, when the national crisis was severe, he and Zou Taofen and others organized the "Life Daily", which represented the voice of public opinion, to promote the War of Resistance and save the country and oppose the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang. Even before he died, he told Zou Taofen intermittently: "Many friends in Russia advised me to come back without having to... The country is at this point. I am China, and of course I will come back to participate in the work of resisting the invaders..." Shen Lao (Junru) once wrote a mourning poem with the title "I am China":"Sorrow for the work of Tao Fen, and the greatness of Mr. Ge. Death still said intermittently, I am China." Lao Shen wrote here,"Tears are all over the paper, and I can't help but feel deeply." It has been fifty years since my uncle left us, but the words he said,"I am China" still ring in our ears today!
