Chronology of Lin Yutang. 330 $aChinese modernity discourses have been dominated by nationalism and revolutionary radicalism in much of the 20th century, but liberal cosmopolitanism has always been an important force in modern Chinese intellectuality, though a much neglected topic in modern Chinese studies. This book is a cross-cultural critique on the problem of the liberal cosmopolitan in modern Chinese intellectuality in light of Lin Yutang?s literary and cultural practices across China and America. It includes comparative reference to other discourses of major literary and intellectual figures such as Zhang Zhidong, Liang Qichao, Gu Hongming, Hu Shi, Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, Pearl S. Buck, Agnes Smedley and Edgar Snow. It also demonstrates that a liberal cosmopolitan road, which suggests a middling Chinese modernity, is both possible and desirable. 410 0$aIdeas, history, and modern China ;$vv. 3. 606 $aCosmopolitanism$zChina$xHistory 607 $aChina$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aCosmopolitanism$xHistory. 676 $a895.1/85109 700 $aQian$b Suoqiao$0961704 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790083503321 996 $aLiberal cosmopolitan$93744094 997 $aUNINA
