Excerpts from Shen Yanmou's Diary and Others

Shen Yan-mou (1890-1971) was a businessman, scholar, and educator known for his contributions to New Asia College and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His diary, spanning from 1947 to his death, contains anecdotes and cultural insights, including encounters with notable figures like Wang Jingwei and Hu Shih. After being serialized in magazines, the scattered and aged materials posed challenges for readers. Dr. Chu Siu-cheung has now reorganized the diary, complementing it with Shen's pictures, writings, and biographical information. This compilation benefits researchers, book lovers, and general readers, providing a comprehensive and accessible glimpse into Shen's life and the cultural history of the time.
