ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces the theory of evolution and bourgeois sociology theory to Chinese people for the first time, shocking the whole ideological and cultural establishment of China. On August 17, 1895, the Chinese bourgeois reformers founded their first newspaper, The Globe. Later The Globe was renamed Chinese and Foreign Record and became the official newspaper of Qiangxue Society. Current Affairs, established by Liang Qichao, was a pioneer of Chinese cultural innovation. Xiangxue Xinbao was the first newspaper founded by reformers in Hunan. Xiang was much more popular and radical than Xiangxue Xinbao. Qiu Jin was an outstanding woman revolutionary in the Revolution of 1911. The first official organ of the The Communist Party of China (CPC) was the monthly The Communist Party. The Red China News Agency (RCNA) was set up on November 7, 1931, in Ruijin, Jiangxi Province. Mao Zedong's idea of "running newspapers by politicians" was intertwined with the revision of People's Daily.
