Features: In 1949, Mr. Qian Mu came to Hong Kong and established Shantung College amidst hardship and wandering. At that time, Mr. Qian named the college "Shantung" hoping that the British would adopt a more open stance toward Asian colonies, allowing Chinese people in Hong Kong to enjoy greater 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 goals, advocating 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.
