Chapter 354 The War of Public Opinion

On January 1, 1927, the new year came like this.∽↗∽↗,

This day is a legal holiday in the Republic of China.

Most institutions in the concession will have holidays, and factory workers also have rare time to rest.

A wealthy family in Shanghai wake up in the morning and get used to reading the newspaper before breakfast to see if there is any interesting news.

Citizens will go to newsstands on the street or buy newspapers from newspaper boys, but they must first confirm the value of the news before they can spend money.

If the lower-level people who do not have the ability to buy, they will go to small restaurants or tea stalls on the street if they want to learn about the news. Some people will discuss with each other after reading the newspaper, and listen to each other when they are next to them.

Newspapers are the most important way to spread news in this era.

Generally speaking, there is nothing good about newspapers on the first day of the New Year, and most of them are topics related to politics.

The speeches of national leaders occupy a large amount of space, including the Beiyang government and the Guangzhou National Government, as well as other political factions, etc.

All of them are clichés, nothing more than a review of the past year and a prospect for the new year.

However, no one expected that on the first day of the New Year, a big news suddenly appeared.

Shanghai's largest circulation report and Newspaper also published news of the Lushun Massacre.

The difference is that the declaration is placed in the third page and the Newspaper is placed in the fourth page. These two major newspapers are quite cautious and will not put such controversial reports on the front page.

The front page of the declaration is that the trial public party in the Shanghai Public Concession was reorganized into the Shanghai Public Concession Temporary Court.

This means that from this day on, civil and criminal cases involving Chinese people in the concession will be heard by China.

This is the follow-up to the May 30th Massacre. After difficult negotiations, the Chinese gained the right to trial in the concession.

The front page of the Newspaper was given to the Guangzhou National Government. On that day, the Guangzhou National Government moved from Guangzhou to Wuhan, marking a phased victory in the Northern Expedition.

Unlike the cautious attitude of these two major newspapers, the small newspapers gave the front page to the Lushun Massacre for sales and gimmicks.

Some newspapers published on this day also posted a report on the news that the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894-1895 was screened last night.

The confrontation between the two films: Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and Sino-Japanese Naval War was originally a hot topic of public opinion. Now the news of the Lushun Massacre has been caused. For the sensitive press, this is the beginning of a public opinion war.

It can be imagined that this will be the focus of public opinion in the next period of time.

Ordinary readers don’t know what happened last night, how many newspapers temporarily changed their layout, and how many behind-the-scenes transactions are there.

Some people watched the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle at the Calden Grand Theater in the Public Concession last night.

According to later generations, this is a movie that cleans the Japanese floor.

In the movie, the reason why the Sino-Japanese War occurred was that the Qing government pressed forward step by step in North Korea. Japan sent troops out of morality to help North Korea gain independence, and declared war on China when forced to do so.

The Qing government's insatiable greed formed a sharp contrast with Japan's adherence to justice, and Japan disguised itself as a weak person.

This is an inspirational story of the weak who ultimately defeated the strong through unyielding efforts.

The sea battle scenes in the film are indeed thrilling. The scenes are grand.

For those who don’t know that history, they may sympathize with Japan after watching the Sino-Japanese Naval War.

This is the promotional function of movies. When viewers watch too many such movies, they will forget the real history.

On New Year's Day, many people chose to go to the theater to watch the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 in order to understand the truth.

Correspondingly, there were much fewer viewers watching the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, most of which were Japanese.
