...older scholars, traditional Chinese thought provided the answer to their country's needs. Younger scholars such as Liang Ch'i-ch'ao believed that only through a combination of Western knowledge and traditional Chinese thought could China strengthen itself...

"The Russians offered us only reverse aid," says Liang Wen-chan, a member of the factory's Revolutionary Committee. "They said we could only make toy cars here, and they took their plans with them when they left...
