New Youth movement and calls to modernize

Few dates in China are as significant as May Fourth, which marks two distinct revolutionary periods in modern Chinese history.  

On May 4th, 1919, student protests erupted in China in response to the country’s outrage over being ignored at the Paris Peace Conference. This event became known as the May 4th Movement.

Seventy years later, in 1989, a resurgence of movement inspired the Tiananmen Square student protests. 

Learn more about the May Fourth Movement and its lasting impact on Chinese society on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
