The newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China

Liberation Daily (Yan’an Edition) (解放日报延安版 jiefang ribao, yan’an ban) was an organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It was founded on May 16, 1941 and ceased publication on March 27, 1947 when the Central Committee moved to northern Shaanxi Province. Its 2,130 issues have great historical significance and research value related to the early propaganda work and political theory of the Communist Party of China, especially Comrade Mao Zedong’s guidance on the revision of the newspaper and the top-down editorial management of the newspaper.

On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai in 1949, the Central Committee decided to hand over Liberation Daily to Shanghai. This collection covers the issues that were published under the Central Committee, known as the Yan’an Edition.
