Chinese history and philosophy

In the history of the Nationalist movement in China in the early years of this century one of the most prominent roles was played by Hu Hanmin (1879-1936). As a close colleague of Sun Zhongshan (Sun Yat-sen), Hu led a political life which spanned the three decades from the founding of the Tongmeng-hui (Alliance Society) in 1905 to the final acquisition, in name at least, of national power by the Guomindang in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Apart from his significant political activity, though, Hu was the author of a wide body of writings, which ranged from the disinterestedly academic to the more transiently polemical. In 1919-1920, as one of the editors of the party publication Jianshe (The Construction), Hu published a series of highly sophisticated articles on Marxism.
