Features: This notebook is a collection of diaries and miscellaneous notes written by Hu Shi during his studies in the United States (1910-1917). The entire work is divided into seventeen volumes. Hu Shi recorded his own literary beliefs, intellectual evolution, and discussions with friends, as well as correspondence and conversations. Sometimes, he also noted his own thoughts, the materials, steps, and conclusions of his ideas, along with his self-praise, exaggeration, ambitions, and dreams. Such candid records can at least present the inner life of a young person who is free from biases and willing to progress at any time.
