May Fourth Movement 五四運動

May Fourth Movement
繁:五四運動
简:五四运动

五四運動最廣為人知口號是「外爭國權,內除國賊」,而當年帶領運動的青年學生,追隨分別代表民主和科學的「德先生」及「賽先生」,然而在前日香港電台一個節目中,兩名學生出席「五四升旗禮」時,被問到何謂五四精神,竟不約而同地指五四精神是「尊重」及「包容」,與活動宣傳口號同出一轍,旋即被網民瘋傳及批評學生錯解歷史。

In what came to be known as the May Fourth Movement, Chinese student leaders demonstrated against the Chinese government’s perceived capitulation to the whims of Western powers at the Treaty of Versailles. More specifically, China had joined the First World War on the side of the allies with the expectation that German holdings on its territory—most significantly the Shandong peninsula—would be returned to China in a post-war settlement.
