Chow suggests that the movement was the intellectual awakening for China. Confucianism had been under attack for decades, but intellectuals in the May Fourth Movement made the most concerted effort up to that time to find an alternative. Most of the activists in the movement were Beida students, although some teachers participated as well. Chow goes into enormous detail on the various intellectual debates and ideological splits within the movement, which had little organization, instead focusing on intellectual discourse.
