Features: "Southern Weekly" Past Edition, reflecting on historical figures and events from a new perspective, with wide influence among readers. It selects nearly two years of articles from the Past Edition and is accompanied by rich images. Some featured topics include: Lu Qincheng, Zeng Xisheng, and "Household Responsibility System" (which led to trouble through writing), Deng Tuo beyond the scholar. Since its founding in 1984, "Southern Weekly" has paid close attention to past-related themes, publishing many influential articles. With the overall transformation of the newspaper, such articles gradually broke free from the stereotypes of "alternative history" and "gossip." The predecessor of the Past Edition was called "Declassified News," aiming to cover "news that has become history and the history behind the news of that time." The articles collected here trace the scattered fragments of history since the Republic of China—those times or figures that seem familiar but are not truly known.
