After his eastward journey to Japan, Sun Yat Sen was active in Japan. He had a "very good conversation" with Sun Yat Sen. Witnessing the new deal of the other country and asking about Sun Yat Sen's revolutionary purpose, Wei Yulan sprouted revolutionary thoughts. Sun Yat Sen also intended to let him participate in the revolution, but at that time, the Chinese Alliance was not yet established. Sun Yat Sen led the Xingzhong Association. Wei Yulan considered that there were many people in the society, such as the elder brothers' Association, and there were not many young students. Therefore, he "only expressed his willingness to follow suit" and was unwilling to join the association. Dr. Sun Yat Sen regretted this, "but he still regarded it as a comrade.".

Life of the characters

Wei Yulan's name is xinruo, the key of xinruo, qinyi and muyeshan. He was a famous newspaperman, local chronicler and poet in Northeast China in modern times. He was born in the late Qing Dynasty. He studied in Japan around the beginning of the 20th century and studied in Tokyo Hongwen College (both Chen Duxiu and Lu Xun studied in the school at this time). After his eastward journey to Japan, Sun Yat Sen was active in Japan. He had a "very good conversation" with Sun Yat Sen.

Sun Yat Sen also intended to let him participate in the revolution, but at that time, the Chinese Alliance was not yet established. Sun Yat Sen led the Xingzhong Association. Wei Yulan considered that there were many people in the society, such as the elder brothers' Association, and there were not many young students. Therefore, he "only expressed his willingness to follow suit" and was unwilling to join the association. Dr. Sun Yat Sen regretted this, "but he still regarded it as a comrade.".

In 1902, the Qing government contracted with the tsarist Russia, which stipulated that the Russian troops who occupied the Northeast should withdraw in three phases. The following year, the tsarist Russia did not withdraw from its breach of contract, but put forward seven unreasonable demands, which aroused the indignation of the Chinese people. On April 29, 1903, the students' Congress of studying in Japan held an opportunity at the Kam Fai hall in Tokyo, Japan, to protest against Russian acts. The overseas students made speeches at the conference one after another, demanding to organize the anti Russian volunteer team to carry out the northern expedition, vowing to fight against tsarist Russia. During the movement, Wei Yulan returned home. Due to the obstruction and suppression of the Qing government, the "anti Russian movement" could not be further developed and expanded, so he had to enter Shandong normal school to continue his study. The next year, he graduated with the best grades and went back to Huang County to engage in education. He served as an official of Huang County and a lecturer of Chinese culture. Later, he set up a private Huangbin public school and became its own principal.

In 1909, the anti Russian martyr Jiang Datong (1883-1910) was released. In order to fight against the Japanese and Russian imperialist aggression and propaganda, he founded Changchun daily in Changchun and invited Wei Yulan to preside over the writing politics. From then on, he joined the newspaper industry. He has successively served as the general manager of Changchun times, Changchun communique, national news and other newspapers, publicizing the democratic revolution, gaining a growing reputation among the press and readers, and being known as the "advanced giant in the speech circles of the eastern province". In 1912, he came to Qiqihar (then the capital of Heilongjiang Province) to run a newspaper and settle down until he died in 1949.

Wei Yulan was also a local historian and poet, who had a great influence on the poetry and local records in Heilongjiang and even northeast China. During the compilation of Heilongjiang Tongzhi, he personally took charge of part of official records and military records, and finally completed the compilation work with the people of Heilongjiang Tongzhi Bureau. In the general annals, he signed the name of "Xu Xiang Wei Yulan xinruoshi". Xu Xiang is Huangxian County, which can be seen from his Sangzi heart. His local chronicle notes "old news of Longcheng" has been reprinted many times and has been widely quoted so far. He wrote three poetry collections, such as Huang Chuan Ji, and Heishui Shi Cun was widely spread and influential in Heilongjiang Province after its publication. Wei Yulan has written more than 20 kinds of longsai series (also known as Muye Shanfang Series), covering politics, economy, culture, history, geography, philosophy, literature, military affairs, diplomacy, etc.

Wei Yulan and Heilongjiang newspaper administration

In 1909, Wei Yulan was invited to run a newspaper in Changchun, and then joined the newspaper industry. He has successively served as the general manager of Changchun times, Changchun communique, national news and other newspapers, publicizing the democratic revolution, gaining a growing reputation in the press and readers, and being known as "the advanced giant in the speech circle of eastern province". In 1912, he came to Heilongjiang and took root in Qiqihar. Because there is Muye mountain in the northwest of Qiqihar, he called himself Muye mountain people, which shows his deep feelings for the city of Qiqihar and the land of Heilongjiang.

Wei Yulan came to Qiqihar and initially served as the general manager of patriotic vernacular newspaper. The newspaper aims to publicize patriotism with the purpose of "approaching classical Chinese, inducing political knowledge and arousing social patriotic enthusiasm". At the beginning of the next year, the patriotic vernacular newspaper, which was attached to Heilongjiang times, was merged into Heilongjiang times and published. Heilongjiang times is a pure commercial newspaper jointly sponsored by officials, gentry, business school and public. It aims at "advocating the Republic and opening up the wisdom of the people", and has a great influence in society. Wei Yulan, as editor in chief, was diligent in his duty and insisted on justice, which made the newspaper better. In 1913, due to the police department Gu Rong, there was a group fight to destroy the newspaper. On the one hand, Wei Yulan published the truth of the incident and sent someone to present it to the police department and other relevant departments. On the other hand, he used legal means to prosecute "the actor ruined the newspaper, but the police department did not investigate.". "To submit a petition to the director of civil affairs to be transferred to the court and handled according to the law, so as to punish the ferocity and maintain public opinion.". After the Heilongjiang governor and chief of civil affairs signed a document, clearly ordered the police department to investigate and deal with the crime, then sent the murderer to the court for punishment.

Due to the distribution of newspapers by number, it was difficult to complete the plan of distribution of 1150 copies. Finally, Heilongjiang times was published in May 1914 because of the huge loss. Later, Wei Yulan was appointed general manager of the new East Asia News sponsored by Harbin Transportation Department of the progressive party. Here, Wei Yulan once went to Suihua to serve as a military officer and judge of the third Heilongjiang army in suitong command department. However, it was not long before Wei Yulan returned to Qiqihar to edit the "reclamation bulletin".

These newspapers edited by Wei Yulan in Heilongjiang Province were not very successful, and the publishing time was not very long, but all these failed to affect his enthusiasm in running newspapers and shake his determination to take the newspaper industry as his own responsibility. In 1915, Wei Yulan and others jointly organized a new newspaper, which lasted for many days and could not be finalized. In order not to be constrained, he finally decided to run his own newspaper. After more than a year's preparation, Heilongjiang daily was founded in early 1916 by using the former site of the reclamation bulletin. It was first published on February 10 (January 1). The purpose of the newspaper is to "advocate colonization, promote education, represent public opinion and support the government". As soon as Heilongjiang daily was founded, it was welcomed by people from all walks of life in the provincial capital. Newspapers are divided into two types: regular edition and supplementary edition. The main edition consists of speeches, chronicles and selected articles; the supplementary edition consists of miscellaneous works, anecdotes and illustrations. In July, there were eight tabloids attached to it, which were "sent with the newspaper, without any money". It mainly publishes speeches, special telegrams, internal and external news, local anecdotes, novels, jokes, casual talks, happy forest, etc.

Heilongjiang daily also often publishes articles on literature and history written by Wei Yulan himself, which greatly enriches the content of the newspaper and enhances its readability. In April 1919, when Heilongjiang daily published a thousand issues, Wei Yulan was full of emotion. He wrote "black water chant" to express his ambition of running Heilongjiang daily well: "when did the creation make calligraphy, and the ink poured down to make the Yangtze River I heard that ink can turn Dragon into ink, and this water is like ink with dragon's potential The river flows thousands of miles, and the waves are magnificent. It's just like watching the water. It's full of paper, clouds and ink Before I sing, the water is more than black. I wish the water the same length. " Bao Guiqing, governor and governor of Heilongjiang Province, and Tu fengshu, director of the administrative department, also wrote poems and inscriptions to congratulate them.

At the beginning of its establishment, Heilongjiang daily adopted the method of collecting shares to raise funds. Due to Wei Yulan's unremitting efforts, Heilongjiang daily got the attention of the governor's office and became the organ newspaper of the governor's office. At that time, the newspaper running funds mainly came from the provincial department, military department, police force, Department of Finance and Guangxin company, which provided subsidies every month, but there were still losses. Wei Yulan regarded Heilongjiang daily as the most influential newspaper in the provincial capital at that time and made great contribution to the development of politics, economy and culture of Heilongjiang.

As a newspaperman, Wei Yulan's every change in Heilongjiang's newspapers has touched his heart and aroused his close attention. When he heard that a certain newspaper was going to continue its publication, he wrote a poem happily, praising: "is it true that public opinion is on the grass, waiting for the spring breeze once a year?"

On the new year's day of 1929, Heilongjiang min Bao, the official newspaper of Heilongjiang provincial governor's office, was founded in Qiqihar. Its sponsor was Wan Guobin, the son of Wan Fulin, the successor of Heilongjiang provincial governor. With the aim of "enlightening the people and publicizing the political situation", the newspaper opens a large one every day. Its publication forced Wei Yulan to stop running Heilongjiang daily, which has been established for 14 years, on April 3. Soon, that is, on January 21, 1930, Wei Yulan set up the political news agency in Qiqihar and began to engage in journalism.

In the early days of the Japanese occupation, Wei Yulan was appointed by the puppet authorities as the chief of the general affairs department of the puppet governor's office, in an attempt to make use of his reputation to create a "Japanese Manchurian Concord" scam. In his early years, Wei Yulan once edited Heishui Yizhou, a supplement to Heilongjiang min Bao, and left the newspaper in 1939 to become a tutor. In 1949, Wei Yulan, who lived in poverty and disease, died in Qiqihar, where he had lived for nearly 40 years. He was 73 years old.
