Although people today are critical of the May Fourth generation, I feel a great warmth for them. Especially in 1978 and 1979, as mainland China emerged from the Cultural Revolution after a long period of isolation from Western ideas, I thought fondly of the May Fourth spirit of openness.
即便今天人們對五四那一代人有所批評，但我對五四人物仍懷有溫馨感覺，特別在七八、七九年，大陸由文革中走出來，長期與西方思想隔膜，懷念五四開放精神，怎麼回到五四，是很真切的問題。
