Qian Mu and Hu Shi, two academic masters, have been fighting openly and secretly. Today, we will talk about the grievances between them. The root of the discord between Qian Mu and Hu Shi lay in their first meeting. At that time, Qian Mu had not yet made his debut and was just a teacher at Suzhou Middle School. One day, Hu Shi was invited by Suzhou Middle School to give a speech. Before the lecture, a teacher named Chen Tianyi recommended Qian Mu to Hu Shi and told Hu Shi that if he went to Suzhou Middle School, he must meet Qian Mu.

On the day of the speech, Hu Shi saw Qian Mu sitting in the front row and asked him to take a seat on the stage. At that time, Qian Mu asked Hu Shi for two books discussing "Hu Shi's Recent Works". Because Qian Mu couldn't find them after searching for a long time, he asked Hu Shi for advice.

But I didn't expect Hu Shi to be able to answer this question, and the whole atmosphere was a bit awkward. Such an incident happened at that time. Hu Shi left Suzhou in an awkward afternoon, and the disharmony between the two began.

Later, Qian Mu came to teach at Peking University, which inevitably caused a conflict with Hu Shi, who worked at Peking University. One of the more famous ones is about birth time. Qian Mu and Hu Shi both had their own opinions, and neither was willing to give in. They argued in front of everyone and became red-faced. But starting from this incident, the dispute between the two gradually shifted from academic issues to personal rights and wrongs, which was really unreasonable. After all, both are role models.
