Features: During its twenty-year history in mainland China, The evolved from initially catering to the Nationalist government to later actively participating in the War of Resistance and sympathizing with the left wing. However, The was always a purely independent publication from the start, and the shift in its political tone was merely a fashionable mask shared by most independent publications at the time. Its true nature remained moderate and pragmatic, as evidenced by its consistent column design over the twenty years. Later, The 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 Correspondence Unit, did reflect a certain left-wing stance. However, this was still a trend at the time and should not be simply interpreted as a political inclination.
