History
On April 25, 1956, the Changsha Evening News published its first photo of Changsha.[4] It was founded on July 1, 1956, originally called Changsha Daily.[5] In January 1961, "Changsha Daily" was changed to "Changsha Evening News". It was interrupted during the Cultural Revolution. In 1978, "Changsha Evening News" was republished as "Changsha Daily", and on October 1, 1981, the name of "Changsha Evening News" was restored again.[2] On June 30, 2003, the newspaper named the K517/518 train from Changsha to Shenzhen (now the K9017/9018 train) as the "Changsha Evening News". This is the first time that Hunan Media has named a transportation vehicle.[6]
