| book description |

This collection of writings traces the evolution and revolution of Chinese modern education in the early twentieth century initiated by Cai Yuanpei (1868-1940), the first Minister of Education of the Republic of China, President of Peking University (1916-1927) and the founder of Academia Sinica. This volume illustrates Cai Yuanpeiâ€™s educational thoughts, one of which is known as â€œfreedom of thought and academic inclusivenessâ€(æ€æƒ³è‡ªç”±ï¼Œå…¼å®¹ä¸¦åŒ…), through his own words from his political, social, and academic endeavors. Cai navigated the landscape of Chinese education at the time, bridging the gap between tradition and revolution, East and West, and setting the cornerstone of the Chinese modern education system. His innovative ideology remains significant in the context of Chinese education reforms in the 21st century.
