1920年甘肃地震,是中国近代历史上罕见的具有严重破坏性的大地震,涉及全国十二省区,并造成二十多万人死亡。《申报》作为当时社会舆论传媒的重要喉舌,从其报道可看出北京政府对此次地震救济不力,赈济主要依靠于甘肃省地方政府及慈善捐助。 The Gansu earthquake of 1920 was a rare and devastating earthquake hitherto in modern history in China, involving 12 provinces and autonomous regions across China and killing more than 200,000 people. As one of the important mouthpieces of the social media at that time, “Shen Bao” can be seen from its reports that the Beijing government was not able to provide relief to the earthquake. Relief mainly depended on local governments and charity donations in Gansu Province.
