80年前的8月15日，日本宣布无条件投降。当年的海内外媒体是如何报道日本投降这一历史性时刻的？

Eighty years ago, on August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. How did domestic and foreign media report this historic moment of Japan's surrender back then?

郑州红色收藏家杨翔飞收藏的数百件老报纸、画报，就生动记录了这一幕，“‘抗战胜利’是我收藏的一大核心主题，藏品多为80年前世界各国出版的报纸刊物，还有一部分是国内各大媒体、出版社为此出版的号外、书籍等。”8月14日，杨翔飞告诉大河报记者，日本投降这一历史时刻意义非凡，日本无条件投降的消息，当时不仅国内媒体竞相报道，全球都在关注。

Hundreds of old newspapers and pictorials collected by Yang Xiangfei, a collector in Zhengzhou, vividly documented this scene. "The 'victory of the War of Resistance against Japan' is a core theme of my collection. Most of the collections are newspapers and periodicals published by countries around the world 80 years ago, and some are special editions and books published by major domestic media outlets and publishers to commemorate the event," Yang Xiangfei told a reporter from Dahe Daily on August 14. He said that the historical moment of Japan's unconditional surrender is of extraordinary significance. At that time, the news of Japan's unconditional surrender was not only reported by domestic media, but also attracted global attention.

泛黄报纸上的夺目标题，从“WAR OVER”到“PEACE！”

在客厅的地面上，杨翔飞将80年前部分具有代表性的海内外报纸原件平铺展示。这些被精心封存于存储袋中的老报纸均已泛黄，有些纸张也变得薄脆，但报纸头版上鲜红的“WAR OVER”（战争结束）和巨大的黑体“PEACE！”（和平）字样，至今看来仍震撼人心。

In his living room, Yang Xiangfei laid out some representative original domestic and foreign newspapers from 80 years ago on the ground. These old newspapers, carefully sealed in storage bags, have all turned yellow, and some have become thin and brittle. However, the bright red "WAR OVER" and huge bold "PEACE!" on the front pages of the newspapers are still shocking to see today.

“这是战时大名鼎鼎的《联合画报》，你看，这上面写着‘日本无条件投降’。”杨翔飞指着一张报纸说，记者注意到该份画报上还有以《粉碎日寇一切阴谋》《日军纷纷放下武器》等为题的报道。

"This is the renowned United Pictorial during the war. You see, it says 'Japan's unconditional surrender' here," Yang Xiangfei said, pointing to a piece of newspaper. The reporter noticed that this pictorial also featured reports titled "Crush All Schemes of the Japanese Invaders" and "Japanese Troops Laid Down Arms En Masse".

“这是《抗战艺术》胜利号，报道了中美英三国政府宣告日本无条件投降。这份是《东方画报》。此外，这里还有几本剪报集。”杨翔飞放下手中的报纸，转而拿起一本封面标注“八一五抗日胜利”的老旧厚本子。

"This is the Victory Issue of Anti-War Art, which reported that the governments of China, the United States and Britain declared Japan's unconditional surrender. This one is Eastern Pictorial. In addition, there are several scrapbooks of historical clippings here," Yang Xiangfei put down the newspaper in his hand and picked up an old thick notebook marked "August 15 Victory in the Anti-Japanese War" on the cover.

记者接过本子打开，发现其中剪报张贴得密密麻麻，内容均为抗战胜利前夕至日本无条件投降期间的报道。

The reporter took the notebook and opened it, and found it densely packed with carefully arranged newspaper clippings, all reporting events from the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan through to Japan's unconditional surrender.

“毕竟历经了14年抗战，日本投降这一历史时刻意义非凡，因此，刚开始收藏时我就在这个主题上投入了大量精力。日本无条件投降的消息，不仅咱国内媒体竞相报道，全球都在关注。所以，我拜托身在国外的朋友帮我留意，尽可能多地收藏关于日本投降的海外报道史料。”杨翔飞表示。

"After all, we went through 14 years of the War of Resistance against Japan. The historical moment of Japan's surrender is of extraordinary significance. That's why I've devoted so much effort to this theme from the very beginning of my collecting journey. The news of Japan's unconditional surrender was not only reported by domestic media, but also attracted global attention. Therefore, I asked my friends abroad to help me keep an eye out and collect as many historical materials of overseas reports on Japan's surrender as possible," Yang Xiangfei said.

“红日”被打“×”，《时代周刊》如何用一页纸宣告战争终结

"Red Sun" Marked with a "×": How TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine Announced the End of the War in One Page

记者注意到，这些被整份完整保存下来的报纸包括《星条旗报》《洛杉矶日报》《联合画报》等，其中不少号外出版日期为1945年8月15日，多为当时颇具影响力的新闻报纸，主要报道社会、政治、经济、军事等领域新闻。

The reporter observed that these well-preserved complete newspapers included Stars and Stripes, Los Angeles Daily News, United Pictorial, etc. Among them, many were special editions published on August 15, 1945, with most being influential publications of the era that mainly covered news across social, political, economic, and military spheres.

“这是我收藏中最得意的一份号外，也是我个人最喜欢的，你看这版面做得多好！”杨翔飞从众多报纸里将《Nebraska State Journal》号外挑出，“整个头版上半部分套红、大字，格外醒目，下半部分的报道则用代表胜利的英文大写字母‘V’来铺底，特别有创意！”

"This is the crown jewel of my collection, and also my personal favorite special edition. Look how well the layout is done!" Yang Xiangfei picked out the special edition of Nebraska State Journal from many newspapers. "The upper half of the entire front page is in red with large characters, which is particularly eye-catching. And while the reporting of the lower half is set against a background of the capital English letter 'V' representing victory. It's very creative!"

此份报纸出版日期为1945年8月15日，平装，售价为5美分，为美国内布拉斯加州（Nebraska）的一份历史性报纸。头版大标题为《Truman announces Japs agree to terms, to be no qualifications》，意为杜鲁门宣布日本已同意投降条款，且无任何附加条件。

This newspaper was published on August 15, 1945, in paperback, priced at 5 cents, and was a historic newspaper from the U.S. state of Nebraska. The front-page banner headline is "Truman announces Japs agree to terms, to be no qualifications", meaning Truman announced that Japan had agreed to the surrender terms without any conditions.

记者留意到，这份报纸头版中有一则涉及中国抗战胜利的快讯：对日胜利日（V-J DAY）将在降书签署后正式宣布。太平洋战争中的三大盟国——英国、苏联和中国——将派高级军官出席签署仪式。杜鲁门先生于下午7时（东部战争时间）宣布这一消息，此前不久，他刚收到东京方面对盟军投降条件的正式回复。

The reporter noted that there was a news flash on the front page of this newspaper about China's victory of the War of Resistance against Japan: V-J Day (Victory over Japan Day) will be officially announced after the signing of the surrender document. The three major allies in the Pacific War — Britain, the Soviet Union and China — will dispatch high-ranking military officers to attend the signing ceremony. Mr. Truman announced this news at 7 p.m. (Eastern War Time), shortly after receiving Tokyo's formal reply to the Allied surrender terms.

此外，杨翔飞还拿出了珍藏的美国著名时事性周刊之一的《时代周刊》1945年的8月版。这册周刊封面设计看起来似是日本国旗，尤为夺目的是其上的“红日”被画上了墨黑色的“×”。记者翻阅周刊，在其中找到了关于战争结束的内容。

In addition, Yang Xiangfei also took out his treasured August 1945 issue of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine, one of America's prominent current affairs weeklies. The cover design of this issue seems to be the Japanese national flag, and what is particularly striking is that the "red sun" on it is marked with a black "×". The reporter flipped through the magazine and found the content about the end of the war.

据悉，杨翔飞的这处居所收藏着1921年至1949年间的历史画报、画册、日军作战地图、照片等各式各样的资料。33年来，他四处奔走，史料藏品已超10万件。

It is reported that Yang Xiangfei's residence houses various materials such as historical pictorials, illustrated books, Japanese military operation maps, and photos from 1921 to 1949. Over the past 33 years, he has traveled around and collected more than 100,000 historical materials.

“抗战文史材料是我多年来收藏的重中之重，涵盖了从‘九一八’事变、卢沟桥事变，到南京大屠杀，直至抗战胜利的各个历史阶段。”身为中国收藏家协会书报刊分会副主任的杨翔飞摩挲着这些承载着历史记忆的藏品。

"Materials on the history of the War of Resistance against Japan have been the top priority of my decades-long collection, covering various historical stages from the 'September 18th' Incident, the Lugou Bridge Incident, to the Nanjing Massacre, and finally the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan." Yang Xiangfei, who is the deputy director of Books and Periodicals Commission of China Association of Collectors, stroked these collections heavy with historical memories.

他表示，未来会继续致力于收藏更多珍贵的抗战史料，让这些见证历史的物件得以妥善保存，也希望更多人能通过这些藏品铭记那段波澜壮阔的历史，珍惜如今来之不易的和平。（中文来源/大河报 记者/张瞧 实习生/孙恺悦 翻译/洪建园）

He said that in the future, he will continue to work on collecting more precious historical materials from the War of Resistance against Japan, so that these objects that witnessed history can be properly preserved. He also hopes that more people can remember that magnificent period of history through these collections and cherish today's hard-won peace.
