Features: This notebook is a collection of diaries and miscellaneous notes written by Hu Shi during his time studying in the United States (1910-1917). The entire work is divided into seventeen volumes. In these notes, Mr. Hu Shi recorded his own literary beliefs, intellectual evolution, or discussions with friends, correspondence, and conversations. Sometimes, he also documented his own thoughts, the materials, steps, and conclusions of his ideas, as well as his self-pride, 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 grow at any time. The diary works included in this book are: "The Nation and the World," "The Transformation of Moral Concepts," "Second Main Session," "The Scholarly Blacksmith Bartlett," "The Benefits of Magazines," "China Seems Like Medieval Europe," etc.
