民初报坛有“一鹃一鹤”之说,“一鹃”指吴门周瘦鹃,“一鹤”指桐乡严独鹤。周瘦鹃主持《申报》的《自由谈》凡二十年,严独鹤主持《新闻报》的《快活林》(后改名为《新园林》),时间更长。当时“自由之鹃”与“快活之鹤”各领风骚,并称为一时瑜亮。 In the early days of the People’s Daily, there was “a cuckoo and a crane” saying that “a cuckoo” refers to the Wu Menzhou thin skinny cuckoo, “a crane” refers to the Tongyi sole strict crane. Zhou Shoujuan presided over the “declaration” of “free talk” where 20 years, Yan independence crane presided over the “News” “happy forest” (later renamed the “new garden”) for a longer period of time. At that time, “free cuckoo” and “merry cranes” each leading position, and called a temporary Yu Liang.
