Lin Baishui is a famous pressman in the history of Chinese Press. He starts almost 10 kinds of newspapers in successive years, such as : "Press published in popular language in Hangzhou" "Press published in popular language in China" "Russian news" "Journal of New Society" "New press of society", etc. That all of his newspapers are warmly welcomed by the public is due to the character of his riding words to criticise evils of the society and giving the public's mouthpiece an air of a hero.After the appearance of popular language in history of Press , it takes on the function of inspiring new thoughts and edifying the masses. While the political analyse written by Lin Baishui takes the form of popular language as carrier, and takes the main contest in stimulating a national sense, disseminating civil rights notion and attacking the current political situation, which has made a great achievement. Compared with Liang Qichao's half literate, hafe verbiage writing style, Lin Baishui's political analyse tends to be bolder and more vigorous. He wtites in popular languge, with the subject being close to common people; meanwhile, he originates the form of political analyse with bitter, incisive and offensive language. Therefore,the form of his political features can not be divorced from Lin's intense history responsibility, uprightness character and deep selfcultivation of old learning.There is an old tradition of "the literary figures comment on politicals", with Lin Baishui promoting it. He insists on "saying what a man should say, not saying what a man should not say; speak true words, not speak fasle words", moveover, he sticks to the belief in his press practice. There also exists certain limitation in his political analyse: reversed transmission thought, irrational radical mental attitude and alienated initiating chain,and so on. All of these restrict the effects of political enlightment. As the defects can't obscure the virture, Lin Baishui, the pioneer of the campaign for popular language in Modern China, a forerunner of Modern China's Journal as well as an excellent press Journalist and enterpriser, he will engrave his name in the history of Chinese Press.
