Features: In 1949, Mr. Qian Mu came to Hong Kong and founded Shantung College amidst hardship and wandering. At that time, the reason Mr. Qian named the college "Shantung" was to hope that the British would adopt a more open stance toward Asian colonies, allowing Chinese people in Hong Kong to gain more freedom. This book collects speeches and writings by Mr. Qian during his fifteen years as the principal of Shantung College, encouraging young people to set their ambitions, promoting the importance of both learning and being a person, explaining the essence of traditional culture, and elaborating on the purpose of university education, reflecting his educational philosophy of not giving up on one's aspirations and practicing it throughout life.
