- Abstract
In the early twentieth century, the May Fourth New Cultural Movement brought the light of enlightenment to the people in the iron house, but soon serious divisions occurred among themselves. To examine this phenomenon from the perspective of intellectuals' "free drift", we find that the May Fourth intellectuals have double properties of homogeneity and heterogeneity. The homogeneity makes them stand on the same line, mutually undertaking the great task against the tradition, while the heterogeneity makes the ideological divisions become more and more serious. As a result, they go different ways, some believe in reformism and attach themselves to the government; some believe in a doctrine and build a party; others keep themselves away from politics and hold firmly to enlightenment, starting a completely different life.
