Hu Shih is China’s now publicly known patriarch and is related by blood, but he is not a public intellectual in the Republic of China. He is a thug raised by Chiang Kai-shek and a “cultural comprador who relies on foreign countries and self-respect” as an independent scholar everywhere. . "Fox Fairy", Chiang's evaluation of him was really to the point. Normally, Hu Shi might scold Chiang to show his integrity as an independent scholar. He would help Chiang at critical moments and scold the "helper" who was a big help.
The routines that are now known to everyone are basically leftovers from Hu Shi’s tricks, and Hu Shi is indeed their authentic ancestor.
1. Reverse racist. Hu Shi's famous sayings include "If China does not perish, there will be no natural order in the world", "China is inferior to others in everything", and "I would rather subjugate the country than advocate resistance to Japan."
2. He flaunts democracy and freedom all day long, but Hu Shi neither pursues democracy nor freedom, nor does he believe in democracy or freedom.
For example, when the deposed emperor summoned him, he was in high spirits, and when Jiang promised him to be president, he was so proud that he signed and endorsed Chiang's dictatorial legal documents. Only then did he complain in his diary that Taiwan had no freedom, and then he published "How Free is Taiwan" in the United States.
The same is true for today’s public intellectuals. They envy and yearn for the democracy and freedom of the United States all day long. The question is, will they praise the Philippines, Haiti, and Liberia that have copied the American system? How did the United States become developed?
3. Advocating "freedom" and "tolerance" all day long. Hu Shi has a famous saying, "Tolerance is more important than freedom." Some people often praise Hu Shi as a gentle, elegant and modest gentleman. In fact, Hu Shi would show his fangs to his enemies and seek death. He advised Chiang Kai-shek to abandon Northeast China to the Japanese and concentrate on "suppressing bandits."
