The May Fourth Movement: Intellectual Revolution in Modern China(1) This is a writing practice. The May Fourth Movement: Intellectual Revolution in Modern China is an expansion of Dr.Chow’s dissertation in University of Michigan. This book is divided into two parts: the first part is “Development of the Movement”, which describes the setting, the process and the consequence of the May Fourth Movement in detail and provides us with a panorama of the movement; the second part, from chapter eleven to chapter fourteen, is “Analysis of Main Intellectual Currents”, which analyses the crucial impact of the movement on ideological changes, intellectual development and social transformations in China. As said in Preface , “The literature on the subject (The May Fourth Movement) is massive, yet most of it offers more polemic than factual accounts.” Actually, this situation is the main reason why Dr.Chow wanted to finish this work. At the beginning of the first part, Dr.Chow provided us some definitions of various core concepts, such as “students”, “the May Fourth Movement” and “the May Fourth Period” rigorously, which can make the latter content more understandable. Yet we must understand,“those concepts which have a long history, especially those which are engaged in ideology, are hardly confined by definition.”It is unnecessary for us to accept or agree with the author’s definition thoroughly. What is more, the author’s aim is not to provide us some qualitative or to stress some ex cathedra definition, neither.
