Abstract
My British friend Mr. G. E. Hubbard has elsewhere defined Chinese reconstruction as “the evolutionary process which is taking place in economic, social and cultural spheres of China.” The Chinese term for this movement simply means “construction,” or building up. It is reconstruction in the sense that what is being built up is actually remaking and reshaping the surface of an old country and the life of an ancient people.
