As a historical event,the Marco Polo Bridge Incident marked the beginning of the comprehensive anti-Japanese war of the Chinese nation.After the incident,on the one hand,Japan held "peace" negotiations with China,However,the Japanese did not have sincerity in peace negotiations but they continued to increase its garrison to China.Diplomatic mediation,the current situation is uncertain.Japanese imperialism is pressing against China step by step,and the Battle of Shanghai is on the horizon.The Japanese aggressors' ambition to invade China has been exposed.Under the circumstance of unpredictable propaganda,the two incidents quickly fermented into the topic of saving the nation from extinction and survival of newspaper colleagues.This paper takes Shun Pao,a private newspaper,as a point of view,and considers how Shun Pao mobilizes the people to fight against Japan.How did Shun Pao report the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the Battle of Shanghai?How did the Shun Pao present the act of saving the nation by the patriotic people?The War of Resistance Against Japan has gradually become incandesced.How did Shun Pao report the Communist Party of China?In the process of appealing for anti-Japanese and national salvation,what transformation has Shun Pao itself achieved?How did Shun Pao in the early stage of the comprehensive anti-Japanese war construct a guiding public opinion(which is conducive to China's War of Resistance)?With the above problems,the author combs the text of Shun Pao mobilizing the people to fight in earnest during the period from July 7,1937(the Marco Polo Bridge Incident)to December 14,1937(the closure of Shun Pao),and outlines the picture of Shun Pao mobilizing public opinion.The author carries on the research and analysis according to the following path.The first chapter presents the social background of public opinion mobilization in Shun Pao,and expounds the mission consciousness of Shun Pao when the national crisis deepens.The author mainly carries on the analysis from three aspects.Firstly,the three political attitudes of Shun Pao changed from the September 18th Incident to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.Secondly,the "peace" negotiations between China and Japan failed in the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.Analysis of the Presentation Mode of the Marco Polo Bridge Beacon Fire in Shun Pao.Finally,Shanghai has provided fertile soil for the growth of Shun Pao,The second Sino-Japanese war has intensified and the Battle of Shanghai has not been declared.At a time when life and death are at stake in Shanghai,this paper explores the attention of Shun Pao to the Battle of Shanghai.In the second chapter,the author focuses on how Shun Pao mobilizes people to fight against Japan sincerely through news reports.With the expansion of the battlefield,the Japanese army trampled on its hoofs everywhere.The problem of refugees has become increasingly prominent,and the soldiers in the front are in urgent need of more materials and field services.In this chapter,the author mainly carries on the analysis through three dimensions.First of all,the author through combing the text of Shun Pao,analysis of Shun Pao how to report the people's donation to save the nation.Secondly,it argues that the Shun Pao pays close attention to refugee issues,and there are numerous press releases on refugee issues in the Shun Pao.The measures taken by the Shun Pao have improved the living conditions of soldiers and refugees and greatly inspired national morale.Finally,when the nation is in danger,the front-line officers and men throw their heads and blood,but there are still many traitors who are traitorous and seek glory.The ugliness of the editorial department of Shun Pao and its gatekeepers on the traitors'activities for Japan was vivid and vivid,which aroused the hatred of the patriotic people,and then triggered the people to launch nationwide search,capture and shoot the traitors.The third chapter,in the context of the War of Resistance Against Japan,the author inspects the anti-Japanese feelings embodied in Shun Pao.In order to better mobilize the people to fight against Japanese aggression,Shun Pao has reformed its layout and column setting.Shun Pao consciously built a public platform in wartime,and became a platform for people to donate,transport and recruit,as well as a platform for spreading heroic deeds of the War of Resistance Against Japan.It is precious that Shun Pao focused on the War of Resistance Against Japan,positively reported the leaders of the Communist Party of China,propagated the Great victory in Ping Xing Guan,vigorously propagated the practice of the Communist Party in close contact with the masses,and reported Guerrilla warfare throughout the country.The fourth chapter mainly analyses Shun Pao's critical articles to construct public opinions conducive to China's Anti-Japanese War.From the Marco Polo Bridge Incident to the Battle of Shanghai,Shun Pao paid attention to the current situation in an unprecedented manner.In addition to the current commentary column before the incident,the "monograph" column was added to Shun Pao,and Mr.Zou Taofen and others were invited to write for it.In addition,Shun Pao colleagues added a trivial 'commentary column to the edition of Shun Pao Evening Magazine to supplement the commentary articles of the mother newspaper.The war situation between China and Japan is related to the interests of European and American countries in the Far East.After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the Battle of Shanghai,the relations between Britain,the United States,and Japan are complex and changeable.China has been striving for international assistance,but the results are not satisfactory.Shun Pao published a commentary denouncing the concept of interest diplomacy among imperialists.The Shun Pao holds that the victory of the War of Resistance must depend on the people of the whole country,who are the main force of the war.Youth groups are vigorous,intellectuals have full knowledge of combat wisdom,and Shun Pao publicizes and mobilizes intellectuals and youth to actively participate in the War of Resistance.At the same time,Shun Pao published articles of support from foreign media in order to obtain assistance for the victory of the War of Resistance,which strengthened the belief that the military and civilian will win the War of Resistance.To sum up,through the analysis of the text content of Shun Pao in the early stage of the comprehensive anti-Japanese war,this paper explores how Shun Pao consciously mobilized the people to actively resist the war by using newspapers and magazines when the current situation is uncertain.As one of the most influential commercial newspapers at that time,Shun Pao,a newspaper with the tenet of "unbiased party,free speech and being the mouthpiece of the people",took an unprecedented positive attitude towards politics and mobilized the army and the people to fight bravely in the face of national disaster.
