Deng Jixing's shrewd business vision and mind are also admirable. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the northern part of Nanjing was still a wasteland. Later, the government made a plan and the bank gave a loan to encourage some man-made houses. As early as 1933, Deng Jixing bought land there and built a two-story garden house named Milu near Beijing West Road in Nanjing. Deng Jixing keeps half and the other half pays the rent. At that time, the house was also used as a model for the middle class living in China and hosted American tourists. Now that I think about it, it was not easy for Deng Jixing at that time-she was a lawyer, ran a nursery, took care of three children in primary school, and had to worry about building a house for herself. Deng Jixing's energy and ability are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. When I first arrived in Chongqing, the Deng Jixing family lived in the dormitory of Xinmin Daily. She heard that there was a piece of land in Jiangbei, so she went there to build a house. At that time, the legal tender depreciated every day, and she used the money raised and the money accumulated in the newspaper to buy gold dollar bills to preserve the value. On 1943, when she went to Chengdu to run a newspaper, she built a red brick two-story building beside the south gate bridge of Huaxi Dam in Jinsha Street. At the beginning of liberation, after the family moved to Beijing, Deng Jixing bought a piece of land in Nanchang Street, separated from Zhongshan Park by a wall, and built a three-story building of more than 300 square meters. However, Deng Jixing is not the kind of professional woman who only cares about her career and ignores her family. Daughter Wu Jingyu recalled that although her mother was very busy, she took time out to take care of the lives of several children whenever she was free. Every time she sees a new recipe in the newspaper, she learns to cook it for her children, such as tomato soup, spinach and pork liver soup. Looking back on that era, Deng Jixing was undoubtedly a man who stood at the forefront of the times. Deng Jixing, who studied law, had hoped that with the help of law, the Constitution and the Organic Law of the Legislative Yuan would put China on the track of the rule of law. 1947, she decided to participate in the election of NPC deputies and legislators held by the government. She even wants to enact a press law to guarantee freedom of speech and publication. Although the idea was opposed by her family, including her youngest son, Wu Jinglian, Deng Jixing didn't flinch. She said: if I want to fight, I have to fight inside. In the free election, she was successfully elected-among more than 600 legislators, there are very few people with no party or faction like her. Xinmin Daily was originally positioned as a friend who was ultra-partisan, ultra-political and purely national, so many intellectuals with non-partisan and liberal colors gathered at that time. More than 90% people in Xinmin Daily have no party membership. Until 194 1, Deng Jixing got to know Zhou Enlai, and Deng Jixing, deeply influenced by Zhou Enlai, began to take the center-left position. 1In July, 948, the National Government ordered Xinmin Daily to stop publishing permanently on the grounds of slandering the government, spreading rumors and inciting people's hearts. Deng Jixing was blacklisted and had to flee to Hongkong. In mid-April, 1949, under the arrangement of Xia Yan, Deng Jixing returned from Hongkong by boat. On the way back, she was most concerned about her newspaper. What is the attitude of the new regime towards Xinmin Daily and the future People's Daily? Deng Jixing was not sure. He asked Xia Yan: After liberation, can you run a folk newspaper or a private newspaper? Xia Yan gave her a positive answer. But Deng Jixing soon discovered that the development of the situation was not as expected. After returning from Hongkong, the first thing Deng Jixing met was that a page of Xinmin Daily in Beiping reported the news of his leaving his employer in Underground party member. This surprised Deng Jixing, who just got the promise from Xia Yan. At her request, Zhou Enlai met with her. Deng Jixing once again asked Zhou Enlai: Can private enterprises continue to run newspapers? Zhou replied: Yes. Although the Prime Minister specially sent a working group headed by Hu Qiaomu to solve the problem of Xinmin Daily, Deng Jixing gradually realized that it was more and more difficult to run a private newspaper under the new conditions. In fact, she and Chen Mingde have never been able to return to Xinmin Daily, which devoted a lot of efforts: Chengdu and Nanjing ended with 1950, and Chongqing ended with 1952. Beijing News Agency 1952 was acquired by Beijing Municipal People's Committee-Chen Mingde and Deng Jixing declined the money given by the government; At the end of 1952, the Shanghai Society was also taken over by the Shanghai Municipal Committee in the form of public-private partnership. Since then, Deng Jixing and Chen Mingde have completely lost contact with the newspaper they loved all their lives. 1957, Chen Mingde and Deng Jixing were both labeled as Rightists. It was not until 196 1 that they got a new job. Chen Mingde, consultant of the Painting and Calligraphy Group of Cultural Club of China People's Political Consultative Conference. Every day, he prepares pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the painters who come to participate in the activities, and serves tea and water. Deng Jixing works as a consultant in a small restaurant. Here, she also made Sichuan pickles, which is a must-I don't know if the people who came and went around them at that time knew that this pair of old people used to be the founders of the largest private newspaper in old China ... Although they lost the stage she loved as early as the 1950s, as a new woman of that era, Deng Jixing was determined to pursue professional women, strive for a society ruled by law and explore and struggle for freedom of the press, although in that storm.
