Associate Professor Wang Shouchang of Peking University's philosophy department also observes that each generation of scholars has thought of May Fourth in a different way. If the movement is not studied objectively, most people will bring a consciousness of current issues to their examination of it, and express viewpoints and expectations based on their own present-day needs.
北京大學哲學系副教授王守常也指出，每代學者對五四的想像不同，若非客觀研究五四，一般人會帶著當下問題意識，根據現實所需來表達自己立場、期待。
