At the turn of the century, looking back a hundred years, it is not difficult to find that Soong Ching Ling is good at using news communication flexibly as a weapon to realize his great ideal, which constitutes an important part of his revolutionary practice. Therefore, Soong Ching Ling's news communication thought and practice are valuable wealth that we should learn from and inherit, which is of great practical significance for us to meet the arrival of the 2 1 century and better shoulder the heavy responsibility of news communication "serving the truth" in the new century.
Throughout Soong Ching Ling's glorious life, she has a very close relationship with the press, and her news dissemination activities are colorful and flexible. She writes articles for many Chinese and foreign periodicals; Give a speech for the radio; Interview with reporters or meet with the press; Contact United and progressive Chinese and foreign journalists, and even personally guide the establishment of newspapers and periodicals. According to incomplete statistics, from 1920s to 1980s, she wrote articles for more than 30 newspapers and periodicals. She is surrounded by a group of famous Chinese and foreign journalists, such as Si Nuo, Smedley, Alley, Strong, Bertrand, Lena, Vincent Sheehan and Hans. Heep, isaacs, Granic, Epstein, Zou Taofen, Shi and so on. The major newspapers she supported, such as National Forum, Voice of China, Newsletter and China Construction (China today), have become influential public opinion positions in China's revolution and construction.
Soong Ching Ling attached great importance to news dissemination, showing a high degree of patriotism and internationalism, as well as firm principles and spiritual vitality. The important factor is the influence and teaching of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which is the objective need and possibility of the society in which he lives. Of course, this is also inseparable from her personal character and talent. Dr. Sun Yat-sen is a great democratic revolutionist in China admired at home and abroad. He devoted himself to the revolutionary cause in China and attached great importance to the role of newspapers and public opinion. In the early days, he proposed to use newspapers and periodicals to serve and publicize the revolution in order to awaken and inspire the people. He also personally directed the establishment of China Daily, People's Daily, Jianshe and other famous newspapers and periodicals, which played an important role in promoting the revolution and was recognized by the news and cultural circles. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's precious spiritual legacy was fully inherited and carried forward by his partner and comrade-in-arms Soong Ching Ling. It can be said that she remembers Dr. Sun Yat-sen's last words more than anyone else: "After forty years of experience, I know that to achieve this goal, we must arouse the people, actively unite the nations that treat me equally in the world, and work together." From the perspective of news communication, this is the basic purpose of guiding Soong Ching Ling's news communication activities, "arousing the people" internally and "treating our nation with unity and equality" externally.
The needs of objective struggle and environmental conditions have formed the flexible and diverse characteristics of Soong Ching Ling's news communication activities. In this regard, she made a systematic review of the preface of 195 1 Struggle for a New China and 1962 "Tradition of True Reporting". Shortly after the founding of New China, Comrade Chen Yi suggested that Soong Ching Ling compile her long-published articles and speeches into a collection. When the book was published, she wrote a preface. She recalled the period from 1927 to 1949 May. "Many of the words I published were aimed at foreign readers." Apart from the manuscripts I wrote during my visit to the Soviet Union, "the rest were mainly written by me to British and American people in China through English newspapers and other media at home and abroad". In addition, "it is an English publication run by China International Friends in China". In her preface, she also explained: "As for why I was in my own country at that time, I used the above method, which is another important reason. Because I am on the side of the people of China, all my channels of dialogue with the masses have been closed. Publishing and broadcasting are completely controlled by reactionaries. They either suppress my remarks or distort and misinterpret my meaning. " She went on to explain, "When my ideas have to be spread as widely as possible, I have to rely on foreign newspapers and other foreign media." My method sometimes forced the then controlled publishing industry to make my statement. And this open way of communication can sometimes be heard by people through their own channels. "This is a special public opinion struggle strategy and means that she had to adopt under the reactionary dark rule to spread the truth and voice of the people.
This special means has achieved special results for the revolutionary struggle and accumulated valuable experience for the dissemination of revolutionary news.

Soong Ching Ling's participation in news communication activities is a process from initial participation to gradual maturity, from simplicity to richness, which is accompanied by her revolutionary struggle practice. When she was young, Soong Ching Ling went to study in the United States, studied in the Literature Department of Wesleyan Women's College, and served as the literary editor of the school magazine. At that time, she published several articles, which showed her enthusiasm for literature and writing. Among them, The Greatest Event of the Twentieth Century highly praised the historical significance of the Revolution of 1911, and was full of patriotic enthusiasm and political writing talent. Among them, China people have always been a peace-loving people, and put forward the view that "pen is more powerful than sword". The study life in the university undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for her future English writing and participation in foreign exchange activities. 1965438+After graduating from university in 2004; She succeeded her sister as Sun Yat-sen's secretary. She became a partner with Sun Yat-sen on 19 15, and became Sun Yat-sen's right-hand man and comrade-in-arms from then on. She studied and publicized Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideal with great enthusiasm. 1June, 922, Soong Ching Ling wrote the article "Guangzhou Escaped from Danger", which was published in Shanghai Republic Daily. This is a vivid account, which effectively exposes the crimes of the warlord and careerist Chen Jiongming.
1925, a great man, Sun Yat-sen, died unfortunately. Soong Ching Ling turned grief into strength and inherited and defended Sun Yat-sen's legacy. Shortly after the May 30th tragedy, she made a clear-cut speech to the reporter of the Republic of China Daily, supporting the people's anti-imperialist struggle and expounding Sun Yat-sen's anti-imperialist spirit before his death. In her speech, she also stressed: internally, "it is appropriate to arouse the national spirit of the whole country at this time"; "We should arouse people all over the world to advocate justice by language." In other words, it points out the important role of public opinion in the anti-imperialist struggle. During the period of 1927, the China Revolution experienced an important moment. Thanks to the cooperation of the state, the military victory of the Northern Expedition in the first half of the year and the upsurge of the mass movement of workers and peasants, a good situation emerged in the democratic revolution. Soong Ching Ling moved from Guangzhou to Wuhan with the National Government. Wuhan has become the focus of the whole country and even the world, attracting many foreign journalists. Soong Ching Ling devoted herself to the leadership of the Kuomintang government with full confidence and great enthusiasm. She has a heavy responsibility. In addition to training female cadres and working for the Health Red Cross, she and Bao Luoting are responsible for external publicity, while Chen Youren and Renaplo assist in specific external publicity. At that time, in the building opposite the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, the People's Forum and the National Newspaper were set up to publicize the China Revolution in English, mobilize the American people and all just people to carry out activities and stop their government's armed intervention in China. Chen Youren, a supporter of Sun Yat-sen, was educated in Britain since childhood. He is a patriotic overseas Chinese, worked as a lawyer and presided over the English version of Beijing Daily in Beijing. He was arrested by dictator Yuan Shikai and nearly died. His writing is clear and concise, which reflects his experience in law and journalism. Therefore, in Wuhan, he not only served as foreign minister, but also presided over the People's Tribune. Rena Plume is a close friend who came to celebrate her birthday. She once helped Chen Youren run a newspaper. Her husband William is a left-wing journalist, and both of them support the revolutionary struggle in China. Under the guidance of Soong Ching Ling, Reina, as editor-in-chief, made People's Tribune an important propaganda position of Wuhan National Government. Many articles and speeches by Soong Ching Ling were published in this newspaper, and then Rena sent telegrams to major news agencies around the world in the name of this newspaper.
At the same time, Soong Ching Ling began to unite with some progressive journalists such as Strong and Vincent Sheehan in Wuhan, and spread the China Revolution to the world through them. At this time, there was a counter-current that betrayed the revolution in China. From Chiang Kai-shek's "April 12th" counter-revolutionary rebellion to Wang Ching-wei's July uprising, China's revolution was in crisis. Soong Ching Ling bravely stood up, joined forces with the Kuomintang leftists and China producers, and published "Asking for Electricity from Chiang Kai-shek" on April 22nd. Later, in view of Wang Ching-wei's public rebellion against Sun Yat-sen's three major policies, he published the famous "July 14 th Voice"-"Statement of Protesting Sun Yat-sen's Revolutionary Principles and Policies", which was a movement. With the help of Rena, this statement was first published in the English People's Tribune in Wuhan and Miller Review in Shanghai on July 8, 65438+. Chinese manuscripts were printed into leaflets, posted all over the streets of Wuhan, and published in the morning paper on July 24. The timely publication and wide spread of the statement dealt a heavy blow to traitors, greatly inspired the people and aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad.
The People's Tribune, which Reina was responsible for publishing Soong Ching Ling's statement, became the last issue and was immediately confiscated, but the truth of the revolution has spread.
Soong Ching Ling visited the Soviet Union in the middle and late August of 1927 in order to realize a long-cherished wish of Sun Yat-sen before his death. She thanked the Soviet people for their support of the China Revolution, and wanted to personally explain to the Soviet Union and people all over the world that many people in China will continue to be loyal to the three major policies formulated by Sun Yat-sen, "explain the nature and purpose of this revolution" and clarify the future of China's victory. After she arrived in the Soviet Union, she made full use of new news media such as Soviet newspapers and periodicals to publish talks, statements and articles, expose the betrayal crimes of Chiang Kai-shek and others, publicize and defend Sun Yat-sen's three-mirror policy, and introduce the current real situation in China. In a month in September, she published eight statements and articles in succession. These news media include Pravda, Tass, Youth Generation, Women Workers and Zen New magazine. Her exchange activities have greatly helped the world to understand the situation in China. In her statement on September 6th, she stressed that "under the superficial chaos, China has a deep-rooted, well-organized and invincible revolutionary force, and its voice will soon spread all over the world".

193 1 year, she returned to China, but faced with a more dangerous and difficult environment. Facing the cruel persecution of revolutionaries and progressives by reactionaries, she stepped forward and devoted herself to the struggle against dictatorship and democracy, rescued revolutionary political prisoners and protested the persecution of workers and intellectuals by German fascists. She also attached great importance to the use of news media when she carried out the activities of the League for the Protection of Civil Rights in China, in which the altar of God in China, which she supported, played an important role in fighting.
China Forum was founded on June 5438+0932+1October 65438+March 3, and its editor-in-chief was Harold isaacs, whose real name was Harold Robert Isei. On June 5438+09 10, he was born in a Jewish family in New York, USA. 1930 came to China and worked as a reporter and editor in two English newspapers, Damei Evening News and Mainland News. In the interview, he witnessed the miserable life of the working people, sympathized with and tended to China's revolutionary struggle. Entrusted by * * * Production International, we supported the work of China * * * Production Party and organized this English publication, which is a foreign language newspaper of the Party in the White Area under the leadership of China * * * Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China. Smedley introduced him to Soong Ching Ling. Soong Ching Ling became the Central Executive Committee of the Alliance when it was founded in 1933. Soong Ching Ling also sent two secretaries, Shimot and chen hansheng, to help Harold isaacs run the newspaper well. China Forum enthusiastically introduced the revolutionary struggle and left-wing cultural activities of the people of China under the leadership of China, and published the documents of the League in cooperation with the League for the Protection of Civil Rights, promptly exposing and strongly criticizing the white terror of the Kuomintang reactionaries, which played a fighting role similar to the newspaper of the League. When our party's newspapers and periodicals in the White Area were constantly destroyed, China Tribune was publicly issued with the license of the Ministry of Industry in the public concession, and assumed the news dissemination role that other progressive newspapers could not play. At that time, Soong Ching Ling made full use of English communication and published many important articles. For example, in the third issue of China Forum (1March, 933), she published the Speech at the Preparatory Meeting of the National Armed Self-Defense Committee of China, which exposed the plot of Japanese imperialism to invade China and "the National Government obstructed the people's resistance". She proposed that the armed people should unite to resist China, which is inseparable from the struggle of the working people in against exploitation, and also from the struggle of the people in China for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and association, and the release of political prisoners. She also stressed: "Only by arousing the people and making them realize the seriousness of the current situation and the importance of future work can people's actions be produced." Her speech at the World Anti-imperialist War-War against Imperialism and her speech at the Shanghai Anti-war Conference, Freedom and Anti-war Struggle in China, were also published in the China Forum. The article expounds that in the face of the war disaster provoked by imperialism, "only the common actions of people all over the world can prevent future massacres." Now, the whole world is carrying out a movement to awaken the masses and let them understand the coming doom; Educate the exploited people to understand their own strength. As long as we unite, we can decide the fate of ourselves and future mankind. ".
After the Civil Rights Protection League stopped its activities, the China Forum continued to fight for half a year before it was forced to stop publishing. Although Harold isaacs later turned to Trotskyism and left the Central Committee, the historical fact that the China Forum once fought for the just cause of China should not be denied. In 1930s, Soong Ching Ling also supported another English publication, Voice of China. Grace Granic and Max Granic, two old party member of the American * * * Production Party, contacted Smedley in the early spring of 1936 and arrived in Shanghai, where they met Soong Ching Ling and Lu Xun. Mr. and Mrs. Granic sympathized with and supported China's just struggle. Therefore, Soong Ching Ling invited them to come forward and founded the English bimonthly Voice of China, mainly to publicize the people's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and expose the Japanese imperialist aggression against China. The inaugural issue was published in March this year 15. In their founding words, they wrote: "There are many voices coming from the chaotic and complicated China". But "louder than all these voices and challenging them are the voices of students and national liberation movements, demanding that the government and people unite to resist the aggressors and save the country." Voice of China wants to listen to all these voices and explain their meaning to the whole world.
Soong Ching Ling gave them warm encouragement and guidance in running magazines, personally helped them collect materials, and invited some famous people to talk about their views on the current situation. Soong Ching Ling herself and many friends of international progressives have contributed to this publication. Good voices in China range from 1936 March 15 to 1937 October 1. In the first issue, 2000 copies were issued, and in the third issue, it was increased to 5000 copies. According to Alley's recollection, "Voice of China became the first English publication in China to support students' voices and the national liberation movement", and "magazines arrived at newsstands, and students waiting there bought them in bundles and brought them back to school". "With the deterioration of the situation, China's voice is getting louder and louder and more popular. Since March 1937, some Chinese versions have been added, and some important articles have been published in Chinese. Even today, rereading its page, its sharp writing, fiery patriotism and bold reports are still amazing. "
Soong Ching Ling wrote "Mourning China's Friends" in Shen Nian to commemorate the unfortunate death of Grace. In this article, he spoke highly of the Voice of China founded by these two American friends: "This magazine united a few progressive foreigners in Shanghai at that time under its banner, and students and others from all over the country also wrote articles for it. These articles describe how the three northeastern provinces were plundered, how the people of the whole country demanded to resist the Japanese invaders, and how Japanese imperialism invaded Shanghai ... "
The last issue of Good Voice of China was published in 1937+065438+ 10/. During this period, articles reflecting the fighting will of the people of China, such as A Brief History of Japanese Imperialism's Aggression in Recent Months and People's Struggle for Freedom, were published. This magazine can't go on under the Japanese iron hoof.
Although this publication only existed for one and a half years, it played an important role in spreading the voice of China and winning the sympathy and support of the international community for China's war of resistance against Japan. Because "this magazine has become a veritable voice of China-the voice of the Chinese nation in the years of struggle for survival under Chiang Kai-shek's rule."
Before the founding of New China, Soong Ching Ling's most influential publication was Newsletter for Defending China Alliance. Soong Ching Ling founded the Anti-Japanese Progressive Group "Defending China Alliance" in Hongkong on 1938, which appealed for and won the help of the international community in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and at the same time undertook the important task of international propaganda. She said: "The Alliance for the Defence of China is not only responsible for winning international sympathy for China's struggle, but also for obtaining assistance for soldiers at the front and behind enemy lines, and feels that it should be responsible for spreading the true situation of our country to the whole world." To this end, under the personal guidance of Soong Ching Ling, he founded a publication to defend the China League-News Newsletter. She devoted a lot of efforts to this, which made this publication spread the voice of China's resistance to Japan and had a wide influence in the world. "For people in the world who really want to know about the struggle in China, these publications have made certain contributions." . It has written a valuable chapter for China to open up the cause of foreign communication.
The newsletter was founded in July 1938. At first, it was a mimeographed English bulletin, which was printed and published six times. 1in April, 939, it was changed to a biweekly magazine published by lead printing. 194 1 At the beginning, in order to expand its influence among overseas Chinese, the Chinese version was added. By the end of 194 1, the Japanese army occupied Xianggang, and the newsletter was forced to stop publishing, with 36 new issues. Soong Ching Ling invited progressive foreign journalists Bethlem and Epstein to take charge of English editing and publishing. The Chinese version was written by famous journalists Zou Taofen and Jin Zhonghua. The task of the newsletter is to introduce the situation and needs of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China to overseas friends and overseas Chinese, and to inform about the work of "keeping Meng alive" and overseas aid activities in China. Regarding the contents of the publication, Soong Ching Ling recalled: "We used various methods to explain in Chinese and English exactly where the struggle against the enemy was going on; We published vivid reports describing the heroic struggle of the people of China on the battlefield and in the self-reliant production movement; In addition, we also recorded those corrupt and treacherous people who engaged in criminal activities politically and militarily and undermined this glorious cause. "
Soong Ching-ling took the journal as his battle position and personally wrote eight articles and comments, which played a role in determining the main policy and tone of the journal. Through these publications, she expounded the relationship between China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist struggle, as well as the relationship between safeguarding world peace. She pointed out that Japanese aggression not only threatened the independence of China, but also threatened the peace and freedom of all democratic countries and mankind. Therefore, the people of China rose up against the Japanese. "China not only fights for itself, but also for all mankind." China's national war of resistance was to defend democracy all over the world. She also stressed that China needs international assistance in its anti-aggression struggle, but it is the people of the world who help China and herself. She widely spread the resounding slogan of defending the China League: "Help the people of China, let them help themselves and help you one by one." This internationalism has played an important role in promoting the international United front and uniting people of all countries to safeguard human progress and peace.
Under the guidance of Soong Ching Ling, news communication quickly formed its own characteristics and fine traditions. It took a clear political stand, bravely defended the truth, served the unity of the Chinese nation in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and devoted itself to reporting the true situation of the Japanese people in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression-the dissemination of the True Report. The success of this foreign publication lies in its ability to organize foreign friends to write concrete, vivid and convincing reports or articles based on their own experiences in China. There are many such vivid articles in the "Battlefield Report" column of the news flash. As Epstein, the editor of that year, said: These articles "are not asking people for help in general language, but reports written by people who are doing practical things on the battlefield, which makes readers feel that those successful and existing problems and those creative scenes that overcome dangers and difficulties are their own experiences." This true and infectious report is convincing, so the hard struggle of the people of China has won the sympathy and support of international public opinion.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of China, after a long struggle, ushered in the birth of the new China and ushered in a new era for the people of China. As one of the founders of the new China, Soong Ching Ling, in her busy state activities, still did not forget to set up a foreign language publication with her special status and international influence to introduce the new situation to the people of the world. This is the most active and colorful publication in her life. It represents the voice of the new China and has a wide influence in the world.
This publication China Construction (now called China) was founded by Premier Zhou and Soong Ching Ling. Founded in 1952, this English-language publication has now developed into a multilingual (five foreign languages and Chinese versions) comprehensive monthly magazine, which is published in 150 countries and regions and is the most influential publication in China.
From 1950 to Soong Ching Ling's death 198 1 over the past 30 years, there have been more than 20 letters and articles about running magazines, from preparing foreign publications to how to improve * * * works, from magazine policy to foreign distribution. According to incomplete statistics, the most systematic article is to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the founding of China.
Why did you start China Construction? It was in the month of 1950, shortly after the founding of New China. Premier Zhou Enlai told Soong Ching Ling that since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was necessary to introduce more information about the new China to the world, and suggested that she set up a foreign publicity publication. Soong Ching Ling readily agreed, because that was exactly what she thought at that time. 1950 In the early days of the founding of New China, Soong Ching Ling was directing the establishment of the China People's Relief Association and the reorganization of the China Welfare Foundation (formerly the League for the Defence of China). Among them, she considered "continuing to devote herself to international propaganda work". Therefore, from May to September, she wrote to Premier Zhou with 1950 three times, raising the issue of international publicity. However, according to the needs of the domestic and international situation at that time, Premier Zhou believed that western imperialism was unwilling to fail, tried every means to block the new people, politics, economy and culture, started the propaganda machine under his control, and tried his best to spread rumors and slander. Therefore, the new China urgently needs to strengthen external publicity. Although the International Information Bureau had an English version of People's China at that time, Premier Zhou suggested that Soong Ching Ling should come forward and run another English foreign language publication to be published by china welfare institute, but it was not limited to relief and welfare work, but a comprehensive foreign language publication with the color of people's organizations to introduce the real situation of new China to people of all countries, so as to enhance their understanding and support for new China. Soong Ching Ling is the most suitable special candidate to undertake this important task. She is Mrs. Sun Yat-sen, an outstanding female political and social activist and one of the pioneers of the world peace movement. She enjoys high prestige and influence at home and abroad, and has rich international publicity experience.
Premier Zhou's suggestion really coincides with Soong Ching Ling's wish. The two great men agreed on the same idea, which led to the birth of China Construction, a foreign publication of New China. Soong Ching Ling personally identified the titles of the publications, including the publication Construction founded by Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai at that time, and formulated the guidelines and principles for running the publications. She invited Chen Hansheng, a well-known expert on international issues, Jin Zhonghua, a well-known journalist, and Epstein, editor-in-chief of Newsletter in 1930s, to participate in the preparations, and served as the editorial director and executive editor. Soong Ching Ling decided to make a five-point summary at the preparatory meeting of "China Construction" hosted by 195 1 Shanghai china welfare institute. Among them, the main readers of this bimonthly magazine are progressives and liberals in capitalist and colonial countries, as well as people who sympathize with and may sympathize with China. Especially for those freelancers and scientific and artistic workers who really demand world peace but are not politically advanced. This year, when she saw the publication of the first issue of the magazine, she immediately wrote to Jin Zhonghua, pointing out that I hope that what we have done and what we will do in the future will make our magazine a powerful magazine to introduce China to the world and promote peace. "
In the essay "Tradition of True Reporting" commemorating the 10th anniversary of the publication of China Construction, she systematically reviewed and expounded the purpose and principle of running the journal: "1952, the China Welfare Society began to publish the English version of China Construction, in order to inherit and carry forward the achievements she devoted herself to describing the working people, intellectuals and literary and art workers in China from the beginning, and to clarify the people through concrete facts and intuitive reports.
When directing this foreign publication, Soong Ching Ling emphasized to keep her own style and avoid being similar to other publications. 1958 Some people suggested that the magazine should add political content, but Soong Ching Ling reminded the magazine to keep its original style. At that time, Premier Zhou attached great importance to Soong Ching Ling's opinions and asked Qi Yanming to convey his instructions on June 1 1 that year: "Premier Zhou paid special attention to Soong Ching Ling's instructions and wanted to keep the original style of the magazine. The Prime Minister's opinion is that China Construction's report on various aspects of China's economic and cultural construction already has political content. If there is too much politicization, changing the original style is not much different from the people's China.
Under the care and guidance of Soong Ching Ling and Premier Zhou, this publication has developed and formed its own style, mainly for foreign intermediate readers; Appear as a publication of people's organizations; Keep the tradition of true reporting, make good use of facts to speak, with rich and colorful contents, popular articles, illustrations, lively and interesting, cordial and kind, and better introduce the changes in new China to the outside world.
During the development of Zhongjian, she often browsed the newly published magazines, and from time to time wrote letters to the leaders of the editorial department, offering comments and suggestions for improvement, so that the magazine was constantly improved from content to form. She asked for "making the magazine content colorful and colorful". She even cares about strengthening the distribution of magazines. She pointed out: "We are in a highly competitive field, and we should use all possible and available methods to carry out our work." "We must carefully consider what we do and how to do it in the field of publicity and promotion."
Soong Ching Ling still paid attention to the development of this publication until her later years. The publication of the Chinese version of China Architecture 65438-0980 can be said to be the last career in her glorious life. Due to family and historical reasons, she has special feelings for overseas Chinese and is obsessed with the great cause of reunification of the motherland. This is exactly the same as Sun Yat-sen's ideal feelings. 1980 April 10 When the magazine reported to her that the Chinese version would be added, she immediately agreed happily; And the first issue of 10 in the same year was autographed. In this manuscript she wrote for "Building China", she quoted Dr. Sun Yat-sen's early praise for overseas Chinese's loyalty to the revolution and contribution to the motherland, and then said earnestly: I hope that the Chinese version will increase the contacts between mainland compatriots and overseas Chinese, compatriots in Taiwan Province Province and compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, exchange news, enhance understanding and exchange feelings.
198 1 03 12, Soong Ching Ling wrote the last letter to the editorial department of China Construction during her illness, and the letter still mentioned that "the China edition is more attractive. I hope that the subscribers of this edition will become more and more popular publications for overseas compatriots, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots. " Soong Ching Ling personally wrote many important articles for this publication before his death. According to statistics, there are more than 30 articles, including expounding the major decisions and policies of the Party and the people's government, introducing the development and changes of China in various aspects, and introducing China's foreign policy and its efforts for world peace. For example, people's friendship and peace (1954. 1), the first five years, welfare work and socialism (1958.6), serving the people for forty years (1978.6), and China women in the new Long March (1978.6).

Song Qingling's basic thought of news communication.
First of all, she attaches great importance to the important position and role of news communication in public opinion. When inheriting the principles of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary thought, she paid great attention to Sun Yat-sen's 40-year experience that "people must be aroused". When reviewing Sun Yat-sen's 1925 anti-imperialist struggle, she introduced Sun Yat-sen's emphasis on "arousing national self-determination and world justice" at that time. And an important means to arouse people is progressive news dissemination and struggle. 1932 in her speech to the press at the China civil rights protection league meeting, she pointed out: "colleagues in the press and members of the civil rights protection league should shoulder the mission of promoting the progress of human society side by side." "I think a strong and brave media can do a lot of work and set off a trend conducive to freedom and justice in public opinion." The important role of progressive news dissemination lies in its strength, the purpose of fighting for a just cause and the important part of this struggle. For example, when reviewing the newsletter of Bao Meng, Soong Ching Ling said, "We regard reporting the actual situation as an important part of our work. She explained that the speeches and articles published in the fighting years before the founding of New China "reflected the revolutionary trend over the years, the rise and fall of the people's power, and the people's power finally broke through everything and won". Her article is "What she said and wrote when she participated in the liberation struggle in China". In the arduous struggle of that year, she tried her best to write articles for newspapers and periodicals, give speeches to the press, and made extensive contact with international progressive journalists and newspapers and periodicals she founded, all of which served the truth, fought for national liberation and just cause, broke through the blockade of the enemy's public opinion, introduced the real situation of China to the people and foreign friends, aroused the people, and won the just cause of international friends for China.
