Introduction

Zhuang Rongyu was a supporter of Sun Yat-sen and was part of the secret society called "Hongmenhui" from 1909 to 1911, participating in the mission to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. It was at this time that Guanghua Daily was founded and became the oldest privately-owned Chinese-language newspaper in the world. Today, Guanghua Daily remains an impartial and objective newspaper. On December 20, 1910, Sun Yat-sen sent Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, and others to create Guanghua Daily in Penang, Malaysia. In its early days, it served as the most important organ of the Chinese Revolution in Malaysia. During the turbulent revolutionary period, the newspaper was tasked with uniting Chinese people worldwide and overthrowing feudal society. Its emergence was like a brave army on the frontlines, supporting China's democratic reform movement and anti-Japanese resistance.
