geographical position

Hu Shi Park, located in Nangang District of Taipei and across the road from Taiwan's Academia Sinica, was originally only Hu Shi's cemetery. Later, together with the memorial hall of Hu Shi in the Academia Sinica, it was turned into a park by the Taipei municipal government. Hu Shi, who advocated vernacular literature all his life and had a profound influence on Chinese literature, was buried here with his wife, Ms. Jiang Dongxiu. The first "academician", Mr. and Mrs. Dong Zuobin, the authority of oracle bone inscriptions, and a number of local scholars all died here. Therefore, it has the nickname of "scholar cemetery".

visit

Before entering the park, you might as well visit the former residence and exhibition room opposite. All the places where Mr. Hu lived before his death will remain the same. The reception room, bedroom, study and bedroom are simple and elegant. In the bookcase not far from the dining table, there are books collected by Mr. Hu, and there are many versions of a dream of Red Mansions in the prominent place, which can be seen from Hu's efforts in proofreading and annotation. On the other side of the dining table, there are two extended spaces for rest. Through a whole glass window, the green grass outside the house is very elegant. On display in the exhibition room are Mr. Hu Shi's handwriting, Chinese and Western works, manuscripts, letters, photos, seals, and doctor's clothes worn when he won the honorary doctor's degree. Some of the collections are replaced month by month.

In 1957, Hu Shi was elected president of the Academia Sinica, Taiwan's highest research institution, and returned to Taiwan in the same year. From then on, until the death of heart attack at the conference of Academia Sinica in 1962, this residence accompanied this liberal pioneer through the last years of his life.

As one of the giants of the new literature movement and the May 4th New Culture Movement, Hu Shi's life is closely related to the cultural and academic trend and the political and historical trend of modern China. As a result of advocating vernacular literature and promoting the "Literary Revolution", Hu Shi became a young man and was employed as a professor of Peking University after his doctoral degree in the United States. Later, he served as president of Peking University. In addition to literature, Hu Shi, who was influenced by the tradition of British and American individualism and emphasis on positivism, advocated scientific research and called for the elimination of feudal thinking. Some of the most famous debates in the 1920s, such as "sorting out the national heritage", "problem and doctrine", "science and metaphysics" and "the dispute between eastern and Western cultures", can be heard by Hu Shi. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, Hu Shi lived in the United States, specializing in the textual research of historical and literary works. He said that he was happy to study the case of shuijingzhu, but he still co founded Free China magazine with his friend Lei Zhen, laying a democratic wedge for the autocratic rule of Taiwan.

After returning to Taiwan, despite his high status in Taiwan's academic circles, Hu Shi was not prepared to be independent under Chiang Kai Shek's strong rule. In 1960, Lei Zhen and the opposition in Taiwan signed a joint agreement against Chiang Kai Shek's violation of the constitution of the Republic of China for three consecutive terms as "President", and Hu Shi was one of them. After that, Hu Shi also participated in and encouraged Lei Zhen's party formation. In September of the same year, Lei Zhen was arrested and Hu Shi was not implicated. He was still willing to take part in the rescue. Li Ao, who was persecuted and imprisoned by the Kuomintang, was encouraged and helped by Hu Shi when he was in trouble. In 2005, when he gave a speech at Peking University, he publicly expressed his wish to donate money for Hu's statue at Peking University.

In the quiet cemetery, the epitaph written by Mao Zishui, a historian, and Wang Zhuang, a famous epigrapher of gold and stone, is sonorous and silent: this man who has painstakingly thought for the progress of academic and cultural, for the freedom of thought and speech, for the honor of the nation, for the happiness of mankind, and who has exhausted himself to death, is now at rest here! We believe that the human remains will eventually disappear, and the valley will also change. But now the light given by the philosopher in the tomb to the world will always exist.
