“Only when we realize that there is no eternal,
unchanging truth or absolute truth, can we arouse in
ourselves a sense of intellectual.responsibility.”
Hu Shih

“1. Speak only when you have something to say.
2. Speak what you want to say and say it in the way you want to say it.
3. Speak what is your own and not that of someone else.
4. Speak in the language of the time in which you live.

(A Preliminary Discussion of Literature Reform)”
Hu Shih
