Features: During its twenty-year history in mainland China, "Liangyou" evolved from initially catering to the Nationalist government to later actively participating in the War of Resistance and sympathizing with the left wing. However, "Liangyou" was always a purely independent publication from the start. The shift in political tone was merely a fashionable mask shared by most independent publications at the time, while its true nature remained moderate and pragmatic. This is evident from its twenty-year basic unchanged column design. Later, "Liangyou" expanded or even changed its focus on political reporting, but this was still determined by a sense of fashion. Of course, interviewing famous CCP figures and senior officers of the Eighth Route Army, as well as reporting on Ding Ling's Northwest War Zone Service Corps, etc., did reflect a certain left-wing stance. However, this was still a trend at the time and should not be simply interpreted as a specific political inclination.
