Yesterday I talked about John King Fairbank, an outstanding historian who was not so welcomed by the academic circle in Taiwan because he had been "unfriendly" to China under KMT. Today I would like to introduce to you an article from another great historian: Professor He Bingdi, who was also unwelcome to his fellow comtemporaries in Taiwan partly because of his reputedly arrogant character. Attached below is one of his popular thesis for ordinary readers. His point of view may have been widely recognized, so please read it if you are interested in.

FYI, however, Mr Li Ao once praised Prof. He to the skies for one of his thesis concerning tax system on salt of Ming or Qing Dynasty. (But I cannot recall the detail.)

曾是中央研究院院士、美國藝文及科學院院士、美國亞洲學會會長的歷史學家何炳棣，十分推崇毛澤東的詩詞。1958年他親自將毛澤東的《沁園春·雪》翻譯成英文發表，並且四處推介，讚賞備至。然而，此舉卻遭到胡適的反對。在胡適的紐約公寓裡，兩人就此發生爭執。胡認為何對毛詩詞評價太高，理由是“看了很不舒服，因為你還誇他頗有詩才。事實上，他當初在北大還不配上我的中國文學史班呢!”何炳棣認為胡過於自負，自認是文化藝術界第一人，不肯承認有比他更高之人。
