This is determined by Hu Shi's era and his own fame. He did write a very general statement for insurance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an endorsement.
1. Hu Shi vividly explained the true meaning of insurance.
In Hu Shi's 1930 manuscript, there is a passage that is very general about insurance. It roughly means that insurance is today's preparation for tomorrow. A series of parallels combine the importance of insurance policies and The effect is clearly highlighted. According to research, these manuscripts were indeed written by Hu Shi for a friend of his who sold insurance, and they were written specifically for insurance. Hu Shi had a lot to say about insurance, but this passage is the most general. If you didn't know that he was a literary giant, in modern times, you might have thought that he was an insurance seller after seeing his remarks about insurance in his manuscripts and newspapers.
And Hu Shi himself did buy insurance, not only at home, but also abroad. He just didn't buy it because he was ill.
2. Hu Shi was the first celebrity to advocate insurance
Although there are celebrities buying insurance in modern times, some celebrities or politicians will buy insurance for themselves, but they only regard insurance as It is a kind of personal consumption, or it is good to mention it after buying it, but it will not be so highly praised as if it is selling insurance like Hu Shi did.
Looking at the time of Hu Shih, most of his remarks on insurance were in the 1930s, but our country’s organization was not formally formed until the founding of New China, and then experienced the Cultural Revolution until the 1980s. Only after 20 years of insurance companies were completely stabilized and started operating, foreign insurance companies only entered our country in the mid-1990s.
Compared with Hu Shi’s advocacy of insurance in 1930, insurance at that time did not have a formal business location, and there was no strong background endorsement. Even people who thought insurance was good would not necessarily rush to buy it, let alone buy it. Highly recommended. Hu Shi can be regarded as the first influential supporter of insurance in the early stages of its development in China. To say that he is an "insurance spokesperson" is worthy of his name.
