A Pragmatist and His Free Spirit

Angebote / Angebote:

Hu Shi, whose life touched virtually every important aspect of society in the twentieth-century China, in particular with his significant contribution in supporting Chinese liberalism and advocating the use of Vernacular Chinese, is perhaps the most fully documented Chinese individual of all time.
