It was a political, anti-imperialist (反帝国主义) movement launched by students and joined by people from all walks of life. The movement gets its name from a protest (抗议) held in Beijing on May 4, 1919. The protest followed the announcement of the Treaty of Versailles (《凡尔赛条约》) that concluded WWI. According to the treaty, Germany’s colonial rights (殖民权) in China were not cancelled, but were turned over to the Japanese. The movement called upon people to fight for independence and pushed for more diverse (多样的) thinking. Young men and women called for women’s rights and critıcızed (批评) the tradition of arranged marriages. Writers explored new forms of literature. Other people looked at political and social thought, like Marxism (马克思主义), to find a path for China’s future. The May Fourth Movement is very important in China’s history. “It was a great social revolutionary (革命性的) movement launched by the Chinese people to save the nation from subjugation (镇压), safeguard national dignity (尊严) and pool (汇聚) national strength together,” said President Xi Jingping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. The spirit of the movement is still a central value for Chinese youth today. Xi underlined the need to strengthen studies of the May Fourth Movement and its spirit during a speech at the group study session of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. Xi’s call for greater study of the movement will help younger generations better understand the value of its spirit. Chen Yuhao, a postgraduate student at the University of International Business and Economics, said the spirit of patriotism (爱国主义), progress, democracy (民主) and science are still core values (核心价值) of Chinese youth and should be upheld and carried forward in the new era (时代). 1．What do we know about the May Fourth Movement?
