五四时期三个亲日派被打倒原因新论

A new comment on the causes of three pro-Japanese parties' being overthrown

五四时期,曹汝霖、章宗祥、陆宗舆被打倒,主要原因是他们的行为背离了民族利益。然而,他们对形势判断的错误、对学生能力的轻视、对现场缺乏控制等应对危机过程中出现的失误也是不可忽视的因素。通过对五四时期"卖国贼"问题的分析,不难发现在民族危机日益加深的情况下,不论是亲日派还是亲美派,只有把民族利益放在首位才能逃过民族话语的审判。

such as misjudgment of the situation, their disdain of the students＂ ability and their lack of control over crisis, can be regarded as non-negligible factors contributing to their downfall. Through the analysis of the ＂traitors＂ issues in the May 4 Movement period, it is not difficult to see that under the circumstances of increasingly strengthening na- tional crisis, only by putting national interests in the priority, can one escape the trial of the national discourse, whether he is pro-Japanese or pro-American.
