Chapter 157 Attachment-Everyone is a tortoiseshell, I am a tortoise alone

Cheng Shewo's newspaper is very strict with journalists. He personally compares the quality of newspaper layouts every day, sets up a few "imaginary enemies", such as Beijing Morning Post and Tianjin Ta Kung Pao as targets, and excerpts about his own characteristics, what other people have ahead of him, etc. Those who feel that they are lagging behind others, who belong to other places, immediately use letters and telegrams to inquire foreign reporters. On a certain day in 1947, a special reporter from Nanjing sent a special telegram to report a news about the discovery of a giant tortoise in a certain place, which was published accordingly. The next day, the other newspapers reported not the tortoise but the tortoiseshell.Cheng was very annoyed at the time, and immediately sent a telegram to Nanjing, which contained the words "everyone is a tortoiseshell, but I am only a tortoise". The staff couldn't help laughing when they saw this telegram.

Kaiming Bookstore was often made things difficult by the "Book and Magazine Review Committee". Song Yunbin recalled that Kaiming handled two things quite well.One is that Gorky's translation by Shen Duanxian (that is, Xia Yan) was banned. They changed "Shen Duanxian" to "Sun Guangrui" and "Mother", and they continued to print.One is Guo Moruo's "Li Sao Today's Translation", which contains the sentence "Party history and people's stealing joy". The censors thought it was a slander against the Kuomintang and refused to approve it.Zhang Xichen asked them: "Did the Kuomintang already exist in the Warring States Period?" They were speechless and had to pass.

When Hu Shi was the principal of the Chinese Public School, he once said in a speech that when the Communist International sent representatives to China, they first looked for him, and because he had something to do, they introduced him to Chen Duxiu.So later Chen became the Communist Party, but he was not.After the word spread, some students put up a poster to refute him, saying: "If you were found in the first place, you would not be able to change the Communist Party."
