Together with Bao Jianwu, he brought out and edited a little newspaper entitled Chenzhong bao. Later, through the office of Chen Duxiu, dean of the Faculty of Letters at Beijing University, he became head librarian. At the time, I frequently visited him together with Maruyama Konmei and Suzuki Chōjirō. It was one of the happiest homes I had occasion to visit in Beijing. 61 Although it remains unclear just what sort of man this Suzuki Chōjirō who “pushed” Li Dazhao’s thinking “leftward” was, we do know that around the time of the May Fourth Movement, Li had contacts with progressive Japanese in Beijing, Maruyama among them.
28 That said, it was not Li Dazhao actively leading in the introduction of Marxism in the pages of Chenbao fukan but “Yuanquan” who translated and introduced the aforementioned Japanese socialist materials. Who, then, was this “Yuanquan” who translated and published these socialist materials in Chenbao fukan? It has been suggested that “Yuanquan” was a pseudonym Li Dazhao used, but this is incorrect. 29 Chen Puxian (Bosheng) was from Minhou, Fujian Province. He went to study in Japan at age thirteen, and after graduating from the Department of Politics and Economics at Waseda University, he traveled to Europe and the United States to continue his education.
In its way, Marxism promised a “fundamental guide” to those who understood it and to those who believed in it. While everything of past value had been laid open to criticism, until then no new yardstick to replace the old had appeared. This intellectual scene in the May Fourth era of extreme confusion somehow or other acquired a coordinate axis with the entrance of Marxism on the scene, and then all became crystal clear. For example, we see that, after his acceptance of Marxism in the 1919–1920 period, the writings of Li Dazhao (1888–1927), often called the father of Chinese Marxism, escaped from the conceptual speculative thinking that is often now difficult to comprehend and gained clarity in one fell swoop.
