发生在100年前的五四运动,使“社会主义”开始成为中国人新的价值观念与理想追求。中国思想世界的这一新变化和新趋势,其间经历了许多的思想争论,这些争论主要环绕三个相关联的问题展开:中国要不要选择社会主义?中国要选择何种社会主义?中国如何实现社会主义?这些问题及其争论,构成了社会主义新价值观在中国思想世界得以确立的主要思想环节。这种社会主义新价值观,不仅具有五四运动的“救亡”性质,而且承继了新文化运动的“启蒙”精神,不能被曲解为“救亡压倒启蒙”来加以贬抑或否定。

The May 4th Movement and the Establishment of New Value Concept of Socialism
Li Weiwu (Wuhan University)
Abstract The May 4th Movement which took place 100 years ago has made“socialism”the new value concept and ideal pursuit for Chinse people. This new change and trend in the world of Chinese thought has ex-
perienced many clashes of ideas, mainly focusing on three interrelated issues: Should China choose socialism? What kind of socialism should China choose? How should China realize socialism? These issues and argu- ments constitute the main thought links concerning the new values concept of socialism in the world of Chinese thoughts. The new value concept of socialism has not only contained the nature of“national salvation”in the May 4th Movement, but also inherited the“enlightenment”spirit from The New Culture Movement. Therefore, it cannot be misinterpreted as“salvation overtaking enlightenment”, and then be belittled or negated.
Key words The May 4th Movement; New Culture Movement; new value concept of socialism; Early Chinese Marxists
