"All were anti-imperialist nationalists, but they dedicated themselves to their country in different ways," says Jessie G. Lutz, a Rutgers University professor emeritus. "Some hoped that educational and cultural events would lay the foundations for a new political system. Others saw politics and the nation as the instruments of revolution."
「他們都是反帝國主義的民族主義者，不過報國途徑各有不同，有人希望透過教育及文化活動來為一個嶄新的政治體打好基礎；而其他人則拿政治和國家當作革命的工具，」羅格斯大學榮譽退休教授魯珍晞（Jessie G. Lutz）點出關鍵。
