# 蘇報 Subao, 18 June 1903, front-page editorial 賀滿洲人 (Congratulations to the Manchus)

Opening page of the Shanghai daily Subao, 18 June 1903 (a bound two-page spread), with the editorial 賀滿洲人 (Congratulations to the Manchus) on the right-hand page, in a mock-congratulatory tone. Bold inline phrases such as 革命排滿 and 九世深仇, and the label 民賊 for the Manchu court, mark the tell: a group label does the arguing before any case is made.

Editorial
Congratulations to the Manchus

[Excerpts:]
The cry 'kill the Manchus, kill the Manchus' already rises from many mouths [...]
The whole world has no [Wu] Sangui; the whole country are all [Luo] Binwangs [bold phrase; allusive, translated literally] [...]
Nine-generation deep hatred [...]
What the Han resist is the Manchu in court, the 'betrayer of the people' [民賊], and not the submissive subjects who raise the surrender flag and offer the seal [...]
Revolution, expel the Manchus [...]
Alas, the Manchus [...]
Woeful, the Manchus [...]
Congratulate the Manchus: I truly cannot but congratulate the Manchus.

The line 舉世無三桂全國皆賓王 is read with less confidence and its allusion (Wu Sangui, who opened the pass to the Qing; Luo Binwang, author of an anti-Wu Zetian proclamation) is FRAME's gloss, not printed. Translation is a literal machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader.
