二十年前,邓拓同志的《林白水之死》一文刚刚在《北京晚报》发表,我就向他谈起过我对林白水这个人的看法。他很感兴趣,表示要深入研究一下。可惜的是,以后的日子他没有就此写过什么文章,再以后就根本无此可能了。邓拓在《林白水之死》中,虽然没有对林作更多的评论,只是称之为“中国旧民主主义革命报刊的一个代表人物”,并建议“在编写中国近代报刊史的时候,适当予以应有的评价”,但基本上倾向于肯定,字里行间的褒意也明显可见。 Twenty years ago, Comrade Deng Tinto’s “Death of Lin Baishui” article was just published in the “Beijing Evening Post.” I talked to him about my opinion of Lin Baishui. He is very interested, said to study in depth. It is a pity that he did not write anything about it in the days to come and there is no such possibility afterwards. In his death of Lin Baishui, Deng Tuo did not comment more on Lin, but called it “a representative of the Chinese old democratic revolutionary press” and suggested that “in the preparation of the history of modern Chinese newspapers and periodicals, Appropriate due evaluation ”, but basically inclined to be sure, the praise between the lines is also obvious.
