These past ten years I have been researching the history of academic development, and this has brought me to an understanding of the path of academic development during this century. I don't much agree with the idea of guoxue, because although it is highly critical of the antitraditionalism of this century, it is not possible to go back to the last century or to pre-1919 Chinese culture.
這十年我作學術史研究，觸摸、理解這一世紀中國學術走過來的歷程，已不太能接受「復興國學」這樣的概念，因為即使對這一世紀的反傳統有強烈的批判，中國人也不可能回到上一世紀，回到五四新文化運動之前的中國文化。
