Features: Gu wrote in foreign languages, lecturing on Confucianism and Taoism, which shook the era. Gu was indeed a remarkable figure. His magnanimity and self-satisfaction, coupled with his disdain for both the Chinese and foreigners, were almost bordering on madness. Yet, he could speak in accordance with his actions and ended his life in obscurity. Compared to those who kowtowed to the powerful, was he not superior to mere beasts? —Lin Yutang, renowned translator and humorist.
I believe that the 2,500 years of Chinese culture, as embodied by Mr. Gu Hongming, are enough to bring honor to the world in the 20th century. —Li Daizhao, one of the leaders of the New Culture Movement.
Mr. Gu is truly the representative of Chinese culture and the world's only advocate for it. —Professor Wu Mi, Peking University, cultural giant.
In his lifetime, Gu Hongming had already become a legend; after his death, he might even become a mythical figure. —Professor Wen Yuanning, Peking University, English professor.
