Huang Shizhong's Media Interpretation

Huang Shizhong: His enthusiasm is awesome.

Huang Shizhong always described his short but brilliant life as a revolutionary, except for a short time when he was around the age of 20. In the process of Huang Shizhong's growth as a revolutionary, uriel is a figure that cannot be ignored. If it weren't for the lobbying, encouragement and education of the old members of Zhong Xing Association and revolutionaries who were called "Four Bandits" with Sun Yat-sen and others, I'm afraid Huang Shizhong would have settled down in a small gambling hall in Nanyang. It's hard to imagine what kind of inspiration uriel's encouragement has had on Huang Shizhong, which has inspired potential that even Huang Shizhong himself didn't realize. Generate's enthusiasm was so strong that he completed the transformation of Huang Shizhong from a reformist to a revolutionary overnight.

People should be enthusiastic. Huang Shizhong's fervent revolutionary enthusiasm really made people respect him.

He is a diligent reporter. In the three years since the spring of 1903, Huang Shizhong participated in editing and writing famous bourgeois revolutionary newspapers, such as China Daily, World Public Welfare News, Guangdong Daily and There is a so-called newspaper. Enthusiastically publicize the idea of democratic revolution and attack the fallacy of royalism. Before criticizing Kang Youwei's On Revolution, Zhang Taiyan published a 30,000-word book, Kang Youwei's Political Views, and confidently pointed out that Kang Youwei's article "has no purpose, suddenly talks about morality, suddenly talks about interests, suddenly talks about birthright, suddenly talks about no performance, and suddenly talks about Shu Qi; I don't know the species boundary, nationality, justice and different ways "is completely" trying to kill the head of the Han nationality with Hu Qingzhi's sword ". This kind of exposition is magnificent, full of emotion and transparent, which shows his revolutionary vision and lofty revolutionary feelings. Since/kloc-0 joined the China League in June, 905, Huang Shizhong has successively founded newspapers such as Youth Daily, Guangdong Vernacular Newspaper and Chinese and Foreign Short Stories, and also participated in the editing and writing of Social Bulletin and South Vietnam Daily.

He is a prolific novelist. Huang Shizhong paid special attention to novel creation while he was engaged in revolutionary newspaper propaganda. In this decade or so, Huang Shizhong's novellas include The Romance of Hong Xiuquan, Beating Malaysia, Twenty Years of Fan Huameng (also known as Fan Huameng in eastern Guangdong), Party Monument, Cen Chunxuan, The Rise and Fall of Guanhai (also known as Yuan Shikai), Huang Liangmeng and Guanhai. These novels either praise revolutionary heroes, publicize revolutionary ideas, expose reformists, attack the fallacies of royalists, expose the darkness of officialdom in the late Qing Dynasty, condemn the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty, or express the thoughts and ideals of democratic revolution with history as the theme. In particular, The Romance of Hong Xiuquan not only adopted a correct analytical attitude towards the revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also described and praised the heroism and nationalism of "fighting for the race and dying for the nation", which reached the highest level that historical novels could reach at that time in all aspects. Even Zhang Taiyan, who has always been less interested in novels, happily wrote a preface and praised his works.

He is also a practical revolutionary. Together with Zheng, he studied and instigated the defense forces of the Qing government in the two lakes region. Organized

"You Tianying" drama club used Cantonese opera to promote the revolution in Macao; In the Guangzhou Revolutionary Uprising, although Huang Shizhong did not directly take part in the fighting, he took part in a lot of rear support work.

Journalists, novelists and revolutionaries, even if a person lives in only one place, should be great, and they can have a clear conscience and explain history; Huang Shizhong, on the other hand, holds the above positions, and his outstanding creativity and exuberant vitality have left a deep impression on future generations.

Sadly, it is such a legend that his life came to an abrupt end at the age of 40. Historians are painstakingly studying and demonstrating Huang Shizhong's death. The author thinks that whether Chen Jiongming and Hu colluded and used each other, or Sun Yat-sen's theory of forgetting old feelings and caring for others, it can clearly reflect the fact that his political fanaticism was the root cause of his early death. Huang Shizhong is not a person who is unconstrained style, so when leaders weigh their interests, he is likely to become a pawn, at most Ma Su; His understanding of the sinister nature of internal contradictions is quite superficial. When Chen Jiongming was exposed, he was in a hurry to ask for a salary; The history of his brother's involvement in the wall is almost blank in his mind. I'm afraid Huang Shizhong will never understand until he dies. Black and white are enough to make him lose his mind.

"There is no pure land except the Sao altar. Visit the Cong Temple to find the disabled." These are some gray feelings of revolutionary Xie Yingbo. If Huang Shizhong were alive in heaven, he would clap his hands and admire his old friend's words: this is an afterthought, but it also contains great wisdom.

Refuting kang? Democratic revolutionist

Huang Shizhong was born in a wealthy family and a scholarly family, but his family declined when he was young. 1893 During the autumn and winter, just in his early twenties, he sailed to Kuala Lumpur and worked as a bookkeeper in a casino. According to records, although Huang Shizhong's position at that time was very low, overseas Chinese there still paid more attention to him because of his excellent writing style.

After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao went into exile and continued to engage in political reform activities. Nanyang is an important stronghold of their activities. From 65438 to 0899, Huang Shizhong actively wrote articles for Tiannan New Newspaper, which advocated reform and political reform, and expressed his political opinions. He was soon hired as a reporter for the newspaper, shouting for the propaganda of reform and political change. 190 1 year, the bourgeois revolutionaries specially went to Nanyang to carry out revolutionary activities and set up Zhonghetang, the peripheral organization of the Singapore Zhong Xing Association. Accepted propaganda, joined Zhonghetang with his younger brother Huang and began to tend to revolution. 1903 65438+ 10, Huang Shizhong returned to Hong Kong as a reporter of China Daily, the mouthpiece of Hong Kong bourgeois revolutionaries, and immediately presided over the writing of the newspaper together with Chen Shizhong.

Since 1902, Kang Youwei has published Mr. Nanhai's recent political views, advocating constitutional monarchy and opposing democratic revolution. The China Journal took the lead in launching a counterattack, which opened the curtain of the debate between revolutionaries and reformists. Huang Shizhong quickly plunged into this debate and soon became one of the main authors of this debate in The China Journal. Huang Shizhong's criticism of Conlon's article is eloquent, impassioned and mixed in writing, which is quite encouraging. Later, he compiled and published his own argumentative articles with the title of "Distinguishing Kang Youwei's Political Book", which made him and Zhang Taiyan famous in politics at the same time.

Running a newspaper? Social activist

1905 10 After Sun Yat-sen established the China League in Japan, he took a French cruise from Japan to Saigon via Hong Kong. On the recommendation of Feng Ziyou, Huang Shizhong met Sun Yat-sen on the ship and joined the League. Huang Shizhong successively served as the communication and general affairs of the Hong Kong branch of China League, and was one of the main members of the branch, responsible for contacting local church forces and business people and participating in the practical work of the revolution. During the periods of 1906 and 1907, Huang Shizhong and other Hong Kong journalists went to Macau to organize "You Tianying Cantonese Opera Troupe", and reporter BLACKPINK appeared and performed a new fashion drama. Although the theme on the surface is to change customs and persuade people to smoke, gamble and pester, it is actually promoting the revolution. After Qiu Jin's heroic sacrifice, Huang Shizhong wrote a play "Burning Sand Head" combined with current events, which was rehearsed by "You Tianying" in Macau, which greatly aroused the revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses. On the eve of the recovery, Huang Shizhong also actively mobilized the national army and civilians to promote justice, and achieved good results.

At the same time, Huang Shizhong has made remarkable achievements in running newspapers. /kloc-left China Daily in 0/904 to help Zheng establish World Public Welfare News, Guangdong Daily and Post News, and served as editors, journalists or writers of the above three newspapers. 1906, Huang Shizhong founded Hongkong Youth Daily and served as editor-in-chief. During the period of 1907, he and his brother Huang edited Guangdong Vernacular Newspaper and Chinese and Foreign Short Stories in Guangzhou, and participated in the editing and writing of Social Bulletin and Nanyue Newspaper. 19 1 1 was the general manager and editor-in-chief of Hong Kong New Chinese Newspaper.

Running a newspaper is the main work of Huang Shizhong's propaganda revolution. He used a pen instead of a tongue to publicize the revolution with great enthusiasm. Huang Shizhong runs a newspaper with vivid and diverse contents and is famous for its readability. For example, in Hong Kong Youth Daily, he divided it into two parts and created 16 columns, such as Politics, Looking in the Mirror, The Voice of Cantonese, Student Tide, etc., which were lively, diverse and fascinating.

Creation? An avid novelist

In his short life, Huang Shizhong wrote The Romance of Hong Xiuquan, The Romance of Chen Kai, Fan Huameng in Twenty Years (a Fan Huameng in eastern Guangdong), Dangren Monument, Cen Chunxuan, Huangliangmeng, The Rise and Fall of Guanhai (a Yuan Shikai) and Guangdong Family. These novels are full of strong national thoughts and revolutionary passion, either writing reality or writing history; Or exposing the corruption and darkness of the officialdom in the late Qing Dynasty, or exposing the royalists who attacked the Reform Party, or praising the ideas of the democratic revolution, all mean pointing to the front and criticizing the current disadvantages, which to some extent reflects the sharp ethnic and class contradictions in the late Qing society and shows the determination and courage of the revolutionaries to transform China. One of the most famous works is The Romance of Hong Xiuquan (***54 times, unfinished, 1908 published in Hong Kong), which is a well-deserved masterpiece of revolutionary novels.

In writing intention, Huang Shizhong made a clear explanation in the preface, that is, to get rid of the fallacy of "success or failure theory" in history and the false name of "fighting floods and bandits" imposed by the Qing government on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to this intention, Huang Shizhong put the Qing rulers and their regimes in the position of exposure and criticism, exposing the crimes of "the Qing court has no way, officials are greedy" and strangling the revolution; At the same time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was placed in the position of a revolutionary righteous teacher, praising their revolutionary heroic achievements of "Qi Xin working together to save the people from fire and water".

In art, the greatest feature of The Romance of Hong Xiuquan is its successful description of the war. There are more than 80 wars in the book, and there are few similarities. In the concrete development, instead of using equal force, we use the method of combining reality with reality to show the panorama of the war from multiple angles and in all directions. In addition, The Romance of Hong Xiuquan also created a number of glorious and moving heroic images: Hong Xiuquan carried forward with a heavy load to turn the tide; Feng Yunshan is honest and frank, brave and fearless, loyal to the liver and righteous; Shi Dakai's elegance, intelligence and courage have left a deep impression on readers.

The ending? Political discontent

19 1 1 year1October 10, Wuchang Uprising was successful. Huang Shizhong is quite successful in publicity and reporting. He once reported a series of exciting news in World Public Welfare News and China Daily with the title of "Seeing the collapse of the Beijing Emperor and the success of Wuchang Uprising".

In the same year165438+1October 9, Guangdong province declared independence, and then the Guangdong military government was established. With great revolutionary enthusiasm, Huang Shizhong soon founded a revolutionary newspaper, New Han Daily. Then, as a revolutionary who has been engaged in revolutionary work for a long time and achieved outstanding results, he was appointed as a member of the Guangdong Military Government Council, director of the General Administration of the Civil Corps, and vice president of the Legion Council. According to this momentum, Huang Shizhong's career will be excellent; Just something unexpected happened, and Huang Shizhong didn't know the risk of Guanhai. After many twists and turns, he finally died tragically.

19 12, Chen Jiongming, acting governor of Guangdong province, revoked the General Administration of the Civil Corps, and Huang Shizhong did not know it. Instead, he went to the governor's office to get his salary. Chen Jiongming detained him for conspiracy and announced his charges: first, he disobeyed orders and paid the wages of the rebels without authorization; The second is to buy guns for the rebels, and the third is to take bribes ―― Chen Jiongming's sinister intentions of excluding dissidents, killing comrades and suppressing the people's army are obvious.

During their imprisonment, Sun Yat-sen and Hu returned to Guangzhou via Shanghai, Han and Fu on April 25th. The next day, Chen Jiongming took refuge in Hongkong. Before he left, he left a letter on the desk of the Legal Affairs Bureau, demanding that Huang Shizhong be punished as soon as possible. After Chen Jiongming left, Hu became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. The first thing he did after taking office was to sign an order to be shot-Huang Shizhong had a close personal relationship with Hu, and the reason why Hu was killed has long been puzzling.
