Abstract
This article advances the following five significant points: (1) it clarifies how the remission of the British Boxer Indemnity propelled Hu Shih into a relationship with Hong Kong; (2) it examines how Hu Shi facilitated the reform of Chinese education at the University of Hong Kong and the recruitment of the department's head; (3) it illuminates Hu Shih's personal network in Hong Kong and the circumstances surrounding his acceptance of the invitations from the Hong Kong government and the University of Hong Kong to come to Hong Kong to be awarded his first honorary doctorate; (4) it describes how Hu Shih's Hong Kong trip initiated various responses in both Guangzhou and Hong Kong, paying particular attention to the enthusiastic response to Hu Shi's visit to Hong Kong as well as the belated debate over modern and classical Chinese literature that followed his visit; and (5) it summarizes Hu Shih's speeches and cultural exchanges in Hong Kong, and explores the views of both Chinese leaders and Hong Kong front-line education officials concerning Hu Shih's "Chinese Renaissance." Finially, the article explains how the Chinese regime influenced Hong Kong's Chinese education reform, Hong Kong's social and cultural development, and moderated British conduct in China.
