Chiang Monlin (1886-1964) was a well-respected Chinese educator. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and obtained his Ph.D. from Columbia University under the supervision of John Dewey. He served as the education minister of the Republic of China in the late 1920s, before being appointed president of Peking University in the 1930s. This autobiography reads like a movie script that takes you back to experience what China was like a century ago.
