  HU SHIH - The Chinese Renaissance - Introduction
Hu had a wary regard for the nature and meaning of revolution and, insofar as China was concerned, he invoked the word sparingly and advisedly.
If Dr. Hu preferred to categorize the mighty transformation in China during modern times as a "renaissance" rather than as a revolution, it was doubtless because he himself placed a value upon the changes to which he himself was a primary witness.
Hu was in many ways a prototype of the new Chinese intellectual who inspired and was inspired by the Chinese renaissance.
