Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the banquet venue, he felt something strange about his body, so he was immediately sent to the hospital for examination by the people around him. When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor first measured his pulse. It reached an astonishing frequency of 135 beats per minute, and blood streaks could be seen in the phlegm that Hu Shi coughed up.

Celebrities’ evaluation of Hu Shi

The world-famous historian and sinologist Yu Yingshi once commented on Hu Shi:? For such an enlightenment figure, neither the traditional Chinese classics nor the teachings of traditional Chinese classics can be used. Nor can we measure him with the standards of modern Western professional philosophers. It is undeniable that he has basic training in both Western philosophy and the history of philosophy. This bit of training finally made him a pioneer in the field of Chinese philosophy and history. ?

Yu Yingshi commented that Hu Shi was an enlightened figure with outstanding achievements in philosophy and other fields. Hu Shi himself prefers the term "history of thought" to "history of philosophy". Some people say that he is an activist because he always acts on the basis of thoughts. Hu Shi's emergence as the leader of the May Fourth Movement is the best proof of this. The origin of Hu Shi's thoughts is very complicated, because while inheriting traditional Chinese thoughts, he also absorbed Western thoughts.

Liang Shiqiu, a modern Chinese writer, once commented on Hu Shi’s character. He said: Mr. Hu, like other great figures, is approachable. "Gentle yet sharp" is the best way to describe him. I never saw him get angry or domineering. He always treated young people, subordinates, and servants with a smile. Even when he was frustrated and insulted, he remained true to himself. ?His heart is calm and calm, and his face is calm. ?

The famous scholar and philosopher Zhang Zhongxing once made similar comments, praising Hu Shi for his gentle personality and approachability. This probably has a lot to do with Hu Shi's good education. Hu Shi went to the United States to study, received a new type of education, had a profound cultural foundation, and was very elegant in both talent and appearance. Probably because of his gentle personality and outstanding talents, he made a wide range of friends, and his unique beauty made people around him unconsciously attracted to him. Hu Shi always had a smile on his face, and he never lost his grace. Even when he encountered difficulties, Hu Shi always looked calm and calm, which often made people around him even more admired.

Hu Shi's famous sayings

One of Hu Shi's famous sayings goes like this: There is some evidence to say something, but 70% of the evidence does not mean 80% of the words. This sentence is still very suitable as a reminder for us to pay attention when speaking. This famous saying tells us that no matter how much evidence we have, we cannot be 100% right or wrong. We must leave a way for ourselves. Nowadays, when many people know a little bit of news, they describe the news in an exaggerated way, fearing that others will not believe them. Hu Shi was still very cautious about his actions, so he had this wise saying: If you have some evidence, you will have to say something; if you have 70% of the evidence, you will not say 80% of the truth.

Another classic saying by Hu Shi: When reading the books of the ancients, on the one hand, you need to know how smart the ancients were, and on the other hand, you also need to know how stupid the ancients were. We must know the wisdom of the ancients, but also their stupidity, so we cannot imitate the ancients exactly, we must take their essence and discard their dross. We cannot blindly discover the wisdom of the ancients and ignore their shortcomings. This shows that when you are good at discovering the beauty of others, you must also look for your own beauty, so that you can find the shortcomings in your own beauty.

Say less empty words and do more practical things. Although Hu Shi's famous quotes are short, they are all classics among classics. This famous saying is still popular today. People who have great ambitions but have always been limited to empty talk without practical actions should appreciate Hu Shi's famous sayings. After they are fully understood, life will reach a new peak.
