History

At the end of 2003, Beijing Youth Daily acquired the Beijing Legal News, and relaunched it under the title of Legal Evening News on May 18, 2004. [11] On April 29, 2005, fawan.com, the official website of Legal Evening News, was created. [12]

Legal Evening News earned a reputation for cutting-edge investigative reporting and deep dives into crime and social issues.[13]

On January 1, 2019, the paper was officially shut down by the Chinese government due to rising censorship and a shift to internet advertising.[14]
