History
On May 25, 1949, during deliberations on the establishment of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, the East China Bureau of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party resolved to publish two party newspapers following the liberation of Fujian: Fujian Daily, serving as the official organ of the CCP Fujian Provincial Committee, and Xiamen Daily, functioning as the official organ of the CCP Xiamen Municipal Committee. It was requested that Shu Tong, then a member of the Standing Committee of the East China Bureau and Minister of Publicity, compose the headers for both newspapers. The zinc plate was transferred to Ye Wei of the News Squadron of the East China Military Service Corps of the People's Liberation Army, who was ready to proceed southward to deliver the zinc plate to Fujian.{{cite web | title=《福建日报》报头的由来 | website=东南网 | date=2009-08-21 | url=https://www.fjsen.com/zhuanti/2009-08/21/content_237249.htm | language=zh | access-date=2025-05-18}}{{Cite book|title = 厦门报业|last1 = 胡立新 |first1 = 杨恩溥 |publisher = 鹭江出版社 |year = 1998 |isbn = 7-80610-683-9 |location = 厦门 | pages = 188–220 }}
