南京《民生报》是国民党统治时期南京地区最早、最有影响的民营报纸。1934年7月在其发展最高峰时,被当局查封,成为旧中国言论限禁的典型案例。通过系统地梳理该事件的发展进程,并据台北“国史官”新挖掘的文献可知,“言论贾祸”是该报被查封的主要原因。“九·一八”事变后,该报的言论与报道,对汪精卫不遗余力地个人攻讦,以及与蒋介石既定对日政策的背道而驰,导致当时两大“政治领袖”必置之死地的决心。该事件一方面对于认识抗战爆发前民营报业的媒介环境和报人的生存状态具有重要的意义,另一方面也是成舍我的人生中重要的一页。受此事件影响,成舍我个人的政治态度发生了微妙的变化,同时促使其办报活动也有了新的转向。 Nanjing “Minsheng Bao” is the first and most influential private newspaper in the Nanjing area during the Kuomintang rule. In July 1934 at the peak of its development, it was seized by the authorities and became a typical case of the old China’s speech restriction. By systematically combing the development of the incident and according to the newly discovered documents from Taipei’s “Guo Shi Guan Gu”, the “speech and criticism” is the main reason why the newspaper was sealed up. After the September 18 Incident, the newspaper’s remarks and reports laid the foundations for Wang Jingwei’s sparring efforts sparing no effort and the Chiang Kai-shek’s established policy toward Japan that led to the determination of the two “political leaders” to die at that time . On the one hand, this incident is of great significance to the media environment of the private press before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and the living conditions of the newspaper pressmen. On the other hand, it is also an important page in Cheng’s life. Influenced by this incident, the subtle changes in Cheng’s personal political attitude have also brought about a new turn for the newspaper’s activities.
