《北华捷报》上的中国投书人——国民革命时期民族主义的对外表达

A Chinese Reader's Voice in the North China Daily News: the Expression of Nationalism during the Nationalist Revolution

国民革命时期,上海五洲大药房总经理的英文秘书邵芾棠以F.D.Z.之名,频繁投书《北华捷报》的"读者来信"栏目,阐发其维护民族尊严与国家利益的主张,引起该报外侨读者的重视与反击。1924年国内反帝废约之声渐起,邵芾棠以反驳外侨所谓中国"排外主义"盛行的观点,初登《北华捷报》。此后,他批评外侨针对中国文明的论调,其维护中国文化本位的立场与外侨抱持的文化优越感形成鲜明对比。北伐开始后,邵氏在报端愈战愈勇。他驳斥西方读者贬抑国民革命的观点,彰明普通民众废除不平等条约的心声,并呼吁上海公共租界工部局作出变革,从而触及外侨在华的核心利益。诸多外侨读者撰文回击邵氏,这些言论适与时人批评的"上海心理"形成参照。邵芾棠与外侨读者的互动,体现了国民革命时期国人高涨的民族主义意识与外侨顽固的殖民者心理。

During the Nationalist Revolution,Shao Futang,an English language secretary working at a medicine company in Shanghai,frequently sent public letters with the penname“F.D.Z.”to the North China Herald to articulate his standpoints and opinions to protect the national esteem and the national interest.The North China Herald published his letters and these letters invoked the attention and refutation from foreign readers of this newspaper.In 1924,Shao Futang’s letter appeared in the North China Herald for the first time to argue that the Chinese people’s anti-imperialist demand to terminate unequal treaties with the powers was not xenophobic but justified.After that,he challenged foreign residents’criticism against the Chinese civilization and their depreciation of the Nationalist Revolution.He also urged the Municipal Council in Shanghai to reform to represent the Chinese residents’benefits.Many foreign residents wrote letters to the newspaper to oppose Shao’s opinions.The interaction between Shao and the foreign residents showed the Chinese people’s rising nationalist consciousness and the foreign residents’stubborn colonialist mentality in the mid-1920s.
