Features: In 1994, the book "Endless Yangtze Rolls On—Commemorative Collection of Fan Changjiang" was published by Qunyan Publishing House. It has been 10 years since then. During this period, many comrades have written articles in memory of Comrade Fan Changjiang. This year marks the 95th anniversary of Comrade Fan Changjiang's birth, and I believe it is highly meaningful to republish "Endless Yangtze Rolls On—Commemorative Collection of Fan Changjiang." Comrade Fan Changjiang was one of the pioneers and leaders of the working-class press in China and an outstanding working-class journalist. He made indelible contributions to the development of China's working-class press. Comrade Mao Zedong and Comrade Zhou Enlai both highly praised and evaluated Comrade Fan Changjiang during their lifetimes. Comrade Hu Qiaojun proposed in 1982 that the younger generation of journalists should "be journalists like Fan Changjiang." In 1990, the China Journalists Association established the "Fan Changjiang Journalism Award," and the awarding ceremony began in 1991. To date, five awards have been held, with 49 outstanding young and middle-aged journalists receiving the award. The tide of the Yangtze rolls forward, and if Comrade Fan Changjiang were to know this, he would surely be filled with joy. This year marks the 95th anniversary of Comrade Fan Changjiang's birth. Through the personal experiences of his former comrades, colleagues, students, and family members, this book expresses deep nostalgia. Abundant first-hand materials and distinct historical characteristics vividly recreate the great achievements and noble virtues of Comrade Fan Changjiang's life. Through this book, you will learn about the excellent works of Comrade Fan Changjiang, such as "The Northwest Corner of China," "Marching West," and "The West Front in Turmoil," which he wrote in the 1930s and are celebrated in China's press dispatches. public reports on the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army; reports on the truth behind Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai's efforts to peacefully resolve the Xi'an Incident; and the long night talk with Mao Zedong in the cave at Yan'an, which Comrade Fan Changjiang was invited to. Through this book, you will also learn how, as one of the pioneers and leaders of China's working-class press, Comrade Fan Changjiang poured his heart and soul into the development of the press in New China, overcoming all difficulties and leaving indelible contributions.
