And also explores a scholar shift subtly in attitude in National crisis period who experience both traditional Chinese culture education and Western culture education.As a person who had overseas education experience and paid attention to politics for long, Hu shi had his own idea. At the beginning of’9·18",he insisted peace talks,for,on one hand, the disparity in power was too great,on the other hand,had much reliance on the League of Nations. Then, Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, and the outbreak of the North China Incident, Hu Shi gradually changed his attitude,and gave up the idea of peace talks with Japanese.He encouraged actively to prepared for the war, using a temporary compromise and concessions to gain the time. Ultimately, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident outbroke, Hu shi toke an active part in the war, still press for it.Hu shi can be regarded as a niche of absolute on the idea against Japan at that time.
