Of course, the inspiration for almost every political reform movement in China is the May 4th Movement of 1919, when Chinese students protested against a weak and corrupt government and called for China to strengthen itself by adopting two key Western ideals: democracy and science. As the 90th anniversary approaches, China has made great strides in science, but still has a long way to go in terms of democracy.
当然，中国几乎一切政治改革运动的灵感都来自于1919年的五四运动，当时的中国学生抗议腐败虚弱的政府，呼吁追求两个关键的西方理想：民主和科学，从而增强自己的实力。在纪念五四运动九十周年之际，中国在科学领域已经取得了长足的进步，但在民主领域却还有很长的路要走。
