After a morning of sleuthing, @thisboyuan & I found out a bit more about Yin-Chih Jao's life. We didn't want a pioneer in the nascent Chinese native journalism industry at the turn of the century to be only remembered for how he was persecutedhttps://twitter.com/anthonyted/status/1204885584851943425?s=20 …
Jao was part of a wave of intellectuals who studied at the University of Missouri & returned to China. Other figures included 汪英賓, a well-known reporter & later a professor of journalism at Fudan University; 張繼英, China's first female journalist https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%AF%86%E8%8B%8F%E9%87%8C%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB%E5%B8%AE …
*1 of CN's first female reporters. There's a term "Missouri Mafia" to describe the alumni of the journalism school in the US who were active. The same could also be applied to this wave of returnees to China. Jao was a Tsinghua student when he went abroad to Missouri
蕭公權 a historian recalled fondly his time w/ Jao & a dozen or so CN students at Columbia in a book on famous scholars: they both happened to be interested in the violin & took lessons together at Stephens College. Xiao was inspired by Mischa Elman's performancespic.twitter.com/ailKHaNGkN
After @thisboyuan paid 66 yuan for a digital copy of a 1937 student record, we finally found the answer to 1 of our big ques: where was Jao from? Turns out he's from Xingning in Guangdong, about 350kms away from Guangzhoupic.twitter.com/MpGetJm7eS
Jao was class of 1924 for bach. of journalism at Missouri & class of 1926 for business admin at UPenn. I also came across 張繼英's record while scanning the document. After Missouri, Zhang also went to student a masters of science at Columbia, class of 1925pic.twitter.com/zvLFFFDPOo
Jao was a talented student. In 1924, he won the 1st prize in the annual essay contest for the best editorial by a journalism student on a subject relating to CN-US relations, acc to the China Monthly Reviewpic.twitter.com/uXFfhmWCJf
The next time he popped up was in 1936, when he published an article in the Quarterly Review of Chinese Railways. He was working at the Railway dept in Nanjing & the 1937 student record showed he was a secretary for the dep. We're not sure what Jao got up to btw 1926 & thenpic.twitter.com/9cAS5pODy3
Carrying on, as the Japanese army advanced on China, the Nationalists moved capital to Chongqing in 1937. The Railway dep was closed as many of China's key links came under Japanese control. Jao appeared as the general manager for Hankow Independent Herald 自由西报 in 1938pic.twitter.com/DzVmZOY4pI
The paper was started in Hankow, now Wuhan, in 1923 by Peter Jowe, a Hankow native & Bruno Schwartz from Brooklyn. The Nationalistsacquired it in 1932 for propaganda. Unfortunately the paper shut down 1946 due to lack of funding. Jao didn't stay for v long http://www.baike.com/wiki/%E8%87%AA%E7%94%B1%E8%A5%BF%E6%8A%A5 …
Yenching Uni hired Jao to its journalism school after 1939, where he taught interview skills. The uni was the best in China at the same & it later became Peking Uni, still 1 of the country's most prestigious collegespic.twitter.com/1CMskb0RS7
As @thisboyuan deduced, Jao wld have met the man that led to his role at AP at Yenching: John Leighton Stuart. The CN-born American dedicated himself to improving education in CN & was appointed the US ambassador to CN in 1946https://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/20/world/asia/20china.html …
Btw 1946 - 49, Jao started working at AP, on recommendation from Stuart, before meeting his end in 1951. The rest of the story found herehttps://apnews.com/74a21cf8d90267096cc05d775d016083?fbclid=IwAR1hjGFrJL0uUdYvLISDVu1PaAlIpXEy99NSIO4-6mD6y2QeWfH1bG4TvWo …
An academic discussion in 2017 about CCP internal documents shed light on how diff Jao's fate cld have been. Jao & 张国兴 Zhang Guoxing were both CN reporters working for American news wires in 1949 when CCP took control of CN. Zhang worked for UPI http://difangwenge.org/read.php?tid=14827&displayMode=1 …
CCP did not recognise Jao & Zhang's press creds issued by the Nationalists & did not allow them to send telegraphs. The Nationalists had not liked Zhang's work, while he was popular with the CCP. He decided to leave for HK & arrived there in Dec 1949 after an easy passage
Academics speculated Zhang (Chang Kuo-sin in canto) may have been targeted for United Front work. Zhang cont'd to have an illustrious career in HK & taught journalism at Baptist U for over 20 yrs before retiring. He passed away in the US in 2006 at 90 http://www.comm.hkbu.edu.hk/chang/f_life.htm …
