Xiao Mengneng's magazine Satellite
"As for naming satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites, satellites. There is a line in Du Fu's poem:' The north wind is refreshing, and the south fights to avoid satellites'. In Greek mythology, there is also a god named Apollo, which is equivalent to the satellite of China. It is said that he was beautiful when he was a teenager, and he was in charge of poetry and songs, that is, the god in charge of literature and art. We are prepared to do more responsibility in literature and art, so we set this name by collecting Chinese and Western fairy tales. "
Regarding the concept of "playing by the rules", the editor means that magazines don't follow the rules. Because satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite and so on. So the editor said, "Those great men who made history would not have achieved so many great achievements if everyone played their cards according to the rules." Similarly, if the management of satellites is not divorced from the secular pattern, there will be no innovation and development. In the first four years after the establishment of the satellite (1 95711-1,that is,1to 48 years), the satellite was in its infancy and vigorous period, in the 68th year. More is devoted to the introduction of literary creation and the translation of western literature (young writers such as Lin, Yu Lihua, Yaxian, Xia Qing have published their works), and less is devoted to discussion. Most current affairs comments are published by readers, and there are many good articles criticizing current affairs. In the third and fourth years of satellite prosperity, after the editorial policy of 25 satellite issues was changed from "life, literature and art" to "thought, life and art", ideological articles and academic works gradually increased, with obvious emphasis on ideological demands. The editor's explanation is to combine "literature" with art and life, so the importance of "thought" is strengthened, and "discussion of thought" will be the main editorial policy except life and art. As far as the cover design representing the magazine's face is concerned, most of the cover characters in each satellite issue have news value or epoch significance. They include outstanding people in the fields of literature, politics, philosophy, science and music. And they are also quite ingenious in the introduction of cover characters. The cover characters selected by "satellite" are mainly "existing, first-class, unfamiliar to readers and able to match the news." In the first four years, the cover figures of "Satellite" were mostly Americans and Britons, including Hemingway, Mao Mu, Camus, Eva Andrek, Pearl Buck (writer) and Russell (philosopher). There is only 1 person in China, but there is no 1 person in other Asia. It can be seen that the basic tendency of "satellite" is more westernization, modernization and disrespect for tradition (but not yet anti-tradition). It can be seen that Xiao Mengneng and his wife have slightly different ideas in running Satellite Bookstore and Satellite Monthly. This can be seen from the appendix "100 kinds of satellites" reprinted by the satellite bookstore below, among which there are many Asians besides Britain and the United States. For example, China people include Du Dingyou, Yuan Hongdao, (writer), Zhu Guiyao, Jiang Xichang, Wang Chong, Xie Wuliang, Li Jiannong, Jiang Baili, Liu Haisu (painter), Wang Guowei (sinologist), Huang Kan (sinologist), Wu Mei, Fu Zhenlun, Wang Fuzhi, Huang (historian) and Meng Sen, and Japanese people have Hattori Tetsuo. Indians have Gandhi. All these reflect that Xiao Mengneng and his wife's idea of running a "satellite bookstore" focuses on promoting world learning and culture, and their idea of running a "satellite bookstore" is obviously more reflected in advocating westernization. This idea was further developed with the participation of 196 1 Li Ao.
Smooth and gentle satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, and so on.
"In the past three years, we have nothing to say' sweet', but there are many' bitter'. Running this magazine, we can say, has gone through a lot of hardships ... In our depressed society, it is almost impossible for a publication with a style like Satellite to be "expensive in Luoyang". The reason why we should know what we can't do is because we scholars should do our due duty to society and the times. In a degenerate era, if intellectuals also want to give up their responsibilities, then our future will be even more tragic. Therefore, readers must consciously and arouse the awakening of extensive social rationality. So, we built satellites. We know that this voice is weak, but it is sincere, and its existence always has its value. " ( 1)
Xiao Mengneng, the operator of the satellite, and He Fan, Lin, and other editors expressed their courage not to be afraid of setbacks here, and they should arouse the responsibility of scholars to revitalize society with the elegant demeanor of the satellite. Generally speaking, the publication of "Satellite" soon began to be loved by intellectuals who love literature and art. In the process of vigorous growth, "Satellite" was widely recognized by authors and readers. Satellites have a wide range of readers, from old people to young people, from university professors to middle school students, from businessmen to soldiers. Almost all intellectuals who were concerned about the social environment and the situation in Taiwan Province province knew about satellites, and no one did not read satellites. 196 1 year, Xiao Mengneng and his wife discovered Li Ao and invited him to join the "satellite". Li Ao gladly joined the League. With Li Ao joining the ranks of editors, his articles appeared on the satellite, and the style of the satellite changed greatly, from the monthly magazine Life Literature and Art advertised in the past to the monthly magazine Thought Life Art, which expanded rapidly and became the main position of the "cultural debate between China and the West" in Taiwan Province Province in the 1960s. Based on the thought of "total westernization", Li Ao criticized the traditional culture of China and the Kuomintang (KMT), which claimed to be the orthodox successor of the traditional culture of China. From 1962 to 1 1, Li Ao published articles such as Treating People who Talk about Chinese and Western Cultures, I will continue to treat others, and Answers to China's Thoughts on Satellites, slamming China's traditional culture and advocating "total westernization". In his view, the conservatism and narrowness of China culture directly produced the backward group consciousness of China people, and as the material carrier of this group consciousness, China people generally have 1 1 disease: first, the Boxer Rebellion; second, the exaggerated China disease is better than the western disease; third, the ancient disease; and fourth, they are full of lies. The sixth kind is sour grape disease, the seventh kind is "learning from the middle school as the body, learning from the west as the practical disease", the eighth kind is superficial "oriental spiritual and western material disease", the ninth kind is external serious disease with empty consciousness, the tenth kind is dreamy "happy reunion disease" and the eleventh kind is false and correct "transcendence disease". In his view, if you want to get the system of "gourd, onion, tomato, clock, glasses, Simmons and reserve officers", you have to "put up with syphilis, body odor, bars, car accidents, divorce, Pacific insurance, thigh dancing and rocking madness"; It advocates "cutting off the traditional umbilical cord, learning directly from those modern countries, step by step, and applying it flexibly". "Nothing is realistic except learning foreign devils wholeheartedly."
Starting from denying the traditional culture of China, Li Ao further pointed the edge of the struggle at the corrupt bureaucratic system and autocratic rule of the Kuomintang, and linked his reflection on ideology and culture with his dissatisfaction with social reality. He published articles in Satellite magazine, such as The Old Man and Bones, Seeking the Answer for the Trend of China Thought, Monologues under Tradition, and said that the Kuomintang was "selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head, and selling dog meat to others as mutton, which was eaten by American aid". Those who talk about "four dimensions and eight virtues" and say that they must be Confucius, Mencius and Zhu do not really believe in China culture. They are all material admirers and hypocrites. The "government" calls for selecting and appointing talents every day, but "there is no reasonable voting law"; Advocate "don't hide from yourself", but "there are more profiteers hoarding than anyone else" He even said, "You are old, you fought this battle, won and lost, and left this battle behind", demanding that "the old man should not trip and get out of the way", openly challenging the ruling authority of the Kuomintang and demanding that the Kuomintang step down. Li Ao also criticized the Kuomintang politicians and celebrities such as Chen Lifu, Hu, Zheng, Qian Mu and Mou Zongsan by name, which caused great shock in Taiwan Province society.
Li Ao's fierce criticism, Hu, Ren Zhuojia, Zheng and other named people felt their reputation and personality were greatly humiliated, so they also wrote articles in Satellite magazine to fight back, thus launching a heated debate. The argument between Li Ao and Hu is the fiercest in China. After the end of the satellite in the 1960s, Xiaomeng was able to switch to real estate. Xiao Mengneng, Zhu and Li Ao are called "satellite iron triangle". Unexpectedly, this "satellite iron triangle" was later entangled in lawsuits and went to jail. In desperation, Meng knew to avoid going overseas. 1987, Meng Zhizhi settled in the United States. In July of 200 1 year, Macey was able to go to Shanghai. On July 23rd, 2004, Macey died of heart and lung failure in Shanghai.
Xiao Mengneng is a princeling of the Kuomintang, and his father, Xiao Tong, has been the president of the Kuomintang Central News Agency since 1932, known as "Lord Xiao San".
