抗战时期新马华侨对中国共产党认知的转变--以《总汇新报》为主的分析

Changing Perceptions of the Communist Party of China among the Chinese in Malaya during the War of Resistance Against Japan:An Analysis of the Union Time

论文利用新马华文报纸《总汇新报》文献,从八路军的抗战行动及表现、毛泽东等中共领导人的形象以及延安边区的治理三个方面入手,考察全面抗战初期(1939—1940年)新马华侨对中国共产党的认知转变,并以此为基础,分析这种转变的原因及其对新马华侨社会的影响。抗战爆发前,新马华侨对中国共产党的军队知之甚少,其认知也较为负面。全面抗战爆发后,通过中共海外统战工作的有效开展、新马华侨社会对中国共产党的大力传播以及延安华侨学生的宣传,新马华侨对中共军队的抗战角色予以正面肯定,他们将其视为“抗战生力军”;毛泽东、朱德等中共领袖被视为具有战略智慧的“抗战奇才”,而延安则被赞为“充满了新气象”。

Through a content analysis of the newspaper Union Time during The War of Resistance Against Japan,the research explores how the overseas Chinese in Malaya changed their perceptions on the Communist Party of China(CPC).Prior to the war,they knew little about the CPC.Subsequent to the war breaking out in full,their view on the performance of the CPC army in battlefields became increasingly positive.They were in particular impressed by Mao Zedong and Zhu De’s military talent and the vigorous spirit of resistance thriving in Yan’an.For the latter,the CPC’s United Front and the information from overseas Chinese students in Yan’an to a large extent helped enhance the CPC’s publicity abroad.As a consequence,the overseas Chinese community in Malaya started supporting the CPC.
