On October 15, 1949, Ye Jianying arrived in Guangzhou, surrounded and disarmed all speculators, and arrested more than ten journalists for re-education. [5] The premises and equipment of the Kuomintang's Central Daily were immediately seized and taken over. The paper was changed to Nanfang Daily, first published on October 23.[6]

The newspaper is eponymous to the more lively and commercial Southern Metropolis Daily and part of the giant Nanfang Daily Newspaper Group.[7] In March 2018, Nanfang Daily won the Third National Top 100 Newspapers in China.

An article from Brown University pointed out that Nanfang Daily has superior reporting and a somewhat higher level of frankness than many mainstream press outlets of the People's Republic of China.[8]
