Abstract：In the early period after the victory of Counter-Japanese War (1945－1949)， commemorative events in various forms were organized to celebrate the Journalists' Day (September 1st) in China. By honoring press martyrs， these events not only improved professional image and safeguarded press freedom， but also significantly improved the professional level of journalism. Non-official newspapers and political parties' newspapers and periodicals expressed the occupational blueprint with distinctive political implications， highlighting the politicization of this professional festival and the media： Ta Kung Pao， Shun Pao and Central Daily News envisioned the occupational prospects by applying “the theory of social responsibility”； Communist Party of China's newspapers proposed the concept of “people's journalism” and advocated “journalism transformation”. Before the founding of People's Republic of China， journalism transformation as a main discourse on the National Journalists' Day indicated the utter transformation of press policy and the complete politicization of China's journalism. The socialist transformation of China's journalism would be an important issue of the times.
