In traditional Chinese, May forth in Taiwan media, all need “special help” to be viewed in China.

For the record, I, too, would love to hear about what Taiwanese people learn about May Fourth, if anyone knows.

Thank you, Christine Luk. I’v always wondered how HKers see 5/4. I’m also very interested in how Taiwanese textbooks portray this historical event. The KMT had (don’t know about today) a quite different approach to Lu Xun’s works before the 1990s, so it might be very helpful to know how they saw/see that movement as a whole.

The historic event of May Fourth was taught in secondary schools in HK hastily. I blamed the colonial educational system for brainwashing (oh yes, the Britons are masters of this tactic). I didn’t know the uprising at Cao’s house and the chaos with Zhang….I do know this event marked the very first intellectual protest to spark political movements in modern China. Technationalism, technological determinism, whole-scale westernization can be traced to this movement. I don’t think there’s any event more important than this one in understanding the role of science and intellectuals in shaping the development discourse in twentieth-century China.
