五四运动“四大领袖”论

On the Four Great Leaders in May Fourth Movement

五四运动的领袖不是一个,而是一个"领袖群体"。蔡元培、陈独秀、胡适、李大钊这"四大领袖"在运动中各有独特贡献;民主主义、社会主义、激进主义与自由主义四面旗帜,他们各举一面,各领风骚;他们之间"颜色相同","主张不一",这是中国现代化应走什么道路的歧见,当时还不是敌我问题;"四大领袖"的历史地位过去长期不被承认,"唯阶级斗争史观"是其祸根。

The May Fourth Movement was led by a body of leaders instead of One single person. This body includes Cai Yuanpei, Chen Duxiu, Hu Shi and Li Dzhao. They held the banners of nationalism, socialism, radicalism and liberalism respectively. They are a reflection of the various opinions as to which road to take for China＇s modernization.
