		While the May Fourth intellectuals felt themselves to be on the brink of a new era, in which they might hold leadership roles, the students at Tiananmen looked back on years of famine, purges, and repression.

		The May Fourth activists did not achieve all of their goals, and notably failed to block a provision in the Versailles Treaty that awarded the German-ruled enclave of Shandong to Japan.
		Hence the conspicuous police presence around Tiananmen Square on May 4, 2005—lest the students of 2005, like their predecessors of 1989, decided that a particularly appropriate place to stage mass actions in the May Fourth tradition was in front of the frieze depicting the 1919 events.
		May Fourth's advent in 1989 was destined to have special meaning simply because it would mark the seventieth anniversary of the 1919 struggle.

		The social aspects of May Fourth consisted of attempts to emancipate the Chinese woman, although this was often limited to movements to bring footbinding to a halt.
		May Fourth is seen as a catalyst for the founding of the Chinese Communist Party.
		The Party may interpret the events of 1919 as being brought about by its earliest members, it may turn Lu Xun into the marxist writer he would refuse to be, the fact remains that May Fourth truly set China on its revolutionary path.

	CNS - Still fired up and raring to go
		The immediate impetus of the 1919 May Fourth Movement was the humiliation that China suffered at the Paris Peace Conference, specifically the failure of Chinese representatives to annul the infamous 'Twenty-One Demands' by the Japanese government seeking territorial gains and imperial privileges in China.
		But the movement was much more than an outburst of pent-up frustration and disillusionment on the part of Chinese students and intellectuals over the state of affairs in China.
		Finally, the movement was a display of the aspiration and unshackled spirit of students in their pioneer role in engineering change.

		The May Fourth Movement could be seen, in retrospect, as an early climax in a contiguous modernization process.
		The movement itself rather encapsulates China’s struggle to enter the global discourse of nationalism, and to emerge from the process of modernization with a sense of identity intact.
		May fourth represented above all an idealistic action taken to defend and promote the intellectual’s dream: a modern China.

		By the later part of the movement, pragmatic concerns were already driving those who had been leaders in the Movement, on both the Communist Left and Nationalist Right, to be less egalitarian in practice than the Movement’s rhetoric had suggested.
		In the period of the May Fourth Movement as Chow defines it, there were obvious strides towards national-consolidation, and certain analogies with the ideological elements of the Meiji Restoration come to mind.
		However, it does not seem that Chinese intellectuals in the Movement were able to arrive at the kind of formula, employing both progressive or liberal elements as well as representations and putative embodiments of tradition or the past, which were key to the Meiji success.

	On Wu Mi's Conservatism
		In his study of Lin Shu (1852-1924), Chow Tse-tsung affirmed that during the May Fourth Movement many conservatives approved of the May Fourth Incident of 1919: a protest against the military government in Peking for losing Qing Dao to the Japanese at the Peace Negotiation in Paris.
		It is therefore not surprising to find that certain scholars who studied conservatism during the May Fourth era purposely avoided the conflicting views of the New Intellectuals and the conservatives concerning politics and society.
		And though he may not have been opposed to the 1911 Revolution or the May Fourth Incident, he unreservedly attacked populism and Marxism from a cultural perspective once he came to perceive them as a menace to the already snarled political condition.

	Modern China: The Chinese Communist Party
		While political theorists and activists, such as Sun Yat-sen, were aggressively pursuing political and economic modernization while, for the most part, retaining their roots in Confucianism, the May Fourth movement had as its specific goal the complete elimination of traditional Confucian culture and its replacement with a culture more closely resembling Western culture and beliefs.
		In the journals of the New Culture Movement and their student followers, no part of Chinese culture was free from ridicule or criticism, but they spared their most vitriolic attacks for traditional Chinese views of government.
		The May Fourth Movement, however, is critical in Chinese history because it spawned a whole new wave of intellectual revolution in the New Culture Movement.

		The May Fourth Movement (1915-1927) was a watershed, because Chinese intellectuals drank deeply of the springs of "crisis of consciousness." Both Christian and non-Christian intellectuals struggled with the angst of searching for the road to China's national salvation.
		The difference between the May Fourth generation and the June Fourth generation lies in the new realities: satellite communication, and the search for economic power.
		Like their May Fourth forbears, these "Cultural Christians" find in Christianity the symbol of human liberation; unlike the intellectuals in the 1920's, they have experienced and rejected both Maoist communist ideology and the post-modern, deconstructionist nihilism of the 1980's.

		Building upon Prusek’s insights, these essays argue that the past is not a univocal tale leading to the May Fourth Movement of 1919, and beyond it, to the victory of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949.
		Using the theories of Bakhtin and Hayden White, contributors to this volume elaborate the argument of the 'double bind.' May Fourth supposedly unleashed a false promise of pluralism, while at the same time, it erased the traces of its predecessors in the late Qing period.
		The varied intellectual agenda of May Fourth endured as a thorn in the side of all autocratic regimes - on the mainland and in Taiwan alike.

	Book review by JD
		May Fourth, and the New Culture Movement of the 1920s and 1930s that was one of its offspring, concentrated the minds of thoughtful Chinese on the essence of their modern dilemma.
		While the idea of shaping it all around the ideals of the May Fourth Movement is imaginative and interesting, I did not feel much wiser about the New Culture writers, the failure of the Nationalists, Mao Tse-tung’s shallow, nasty “philosophy,” or the Cultural Revolution, than I was before.
		China may well find that the solution to its quest for modernity is to let the best part of May Fourth re-emerge: the ability to put forward a variety of experiments in happiness, and to choose between them.
