In 1931, Hu Shih was turning forty, and began writing his autobiography. In a language simple and plain - the vernacular style he had advocated in 1917 for the New Culture Movement - he remembered his childhood.Fatherless from an early age, Hu Shih received an excellent education in Jixi, Anhui, thanks to his mother's adamant teaching. It was an education not only in becoming a classical scholar, but in becoming a tolerant person.A bilingual edition in English and French (translated from the Chinese), this book is part of the Luminary Collection.

Hu Shih (1891-1962) was a philosopher, writer and politician. He studied Philosophy at Columbia University under John Dewey, and initiated a language reform in China that would set off one of the most important transformations in the country's modern history: the New Culture Movement. China's ambassador to the US, Chancellor of Peking University, and President of Academia Sinica, Taiwan, were amongst his many functions. He is admired not only for his scholarly work and his role as a public intellectual, but for his personality: kind, generous, tolerant.
