This couplet was originally a famous sentence by Yang Jisheng, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Yisheng is an anti-power, anti-traitor Yan Song, regardless of life and death. It is said that he was framed and imprisoned for the second time. Before his execution, he wrote two poems on the prison wall: "Iron shoulders bear morality and painstakingly write articles." Li Dazhao spoke highly of Yang's moral character. As early as 19 13, when he was the editor-in-chief of the morning newspaper supplement, he chose the phrase "iron shoulders and morality" as a warning in this issue.

Zhang and his wife have great respect for Li Dazhao's academic character and work attitude. Later, when Zhang fell to the government of the northern warlords, Li Dazhao felt very sorry and hoped to persuade her husband not to go along with the reactionary warlords. One day, Wu Ruonan asked Li Dazhao to write a banner as a souvenir. Li Dazhao wrote this couplet in calligraphy.

This couplet only changes one word in Yang's famous sentence. And the clever change of this word is really his own narrative and portrayal.

Remarks on journalists' day

Journalism is an industry,

Journalist is a profession.

Media disseminate information,

Journalists record facts.

Dissemination and recording,

Must abide by the code of conduct,

Observe professional ethics.

A journalist's profession is to fulfill a responsibility.

Tell people soberly, rationally and responsibly,

What will happen tomorrow,

What should you do tomorrow,

Spreading knowledge and caring for others,

This is the responsibility of journalists.

Reporter,

You can't stand on your own yesterday and criticize yourself today.

The contribution of journalists embodies a kind of value.

Standing at the forefront of life to pull life,

Standing in life to improve life,

Explain one life after another,

This is the value orientation of journalists.

Reporter, lookout,

Pay attention to people's thoughts and destiny,

Pay attention to the concept and destiny of society.

Journalist's practice, pursuing an idea,

The content is days, the first speed,

Pay attention to people's livelihood and record the truth.

Don't innovate, or let me die,

This is the idea of journalists, the idea of news.

Reporter,

Witness history, but not just record it.

The title of reporter contains a kind of motivation.

Learn from life, practice and the masses.

Found in life,

Discover the ideological shock of news works;

Digging in practice,

Excavate the artistic appeal of news works;

Explore among the masses,

Explore the aesthetic pleasure of news works.

Journalists are not "uncrowned kings",

Journalists are students,

Students who have no idea about graduation time.

The history of news is the history of pursuing freedom, truth and responsibility.

The history of news is synchronized with political civilization.

Continue to write this history,

Need a reporter,

Face disaster, ugliness, danger, money ...

With my conscience and sense of social responsibility,

Listen to the voice of the people and reflect public opinion,

Responsible for the upper level, responsible for the lower level,

Don't forget your responsibilities and obligations because of blind obedience and numbness.

This is the morality of journalists.

If public opinion laughs at the law,

Finally, we must be ridiculed by the law.
