1919年中国爆发了著名的五四学生运动。这场运动虽然是由学生发起,而实际上是社会矛盾的大爆发。运动从北京开始,逐渐蔓延到全国,成为一个社会事件。在这个事件中,政府采取了预防、抓捕、戒严等措施,却始终无法抑制住风起云涌的学生运动。由于社会各界对学生进行救援、辩护,进而直接抨击政府,使得政府最终将“卖国贼”曹章陆三人免职,才使得这场运动逐渐平息。在这个事件中,显示了近代社会与政府的激烈对立,而对立的原因来缘于政府在外交上的失败,又阻碍社会对于外事紧张所进行的情感表达,由此揭示了近代各届政府逐渐崩溃的原因,就是无力挽救国家危亡,甚至有与外人勾结之嫌疑,从而失去其在社会上的权威。 In 1919 China broke out the famous May Fourth student movement. Although this campaign is initiated by students, it is actually a big outbreak of social contradictions. The movement started from Beijing and gradually spread throughout the country, becoming a social event. In this incident, the government has taken measures such as prevention, arrest, martial law and other measures, but it has not been able to curb the surging student movement. The movement was gradually subsided because all sectors of society rescued and defended the students and then directly attacked the government so that the government eventually dismissed the “soldier thieves” and “Cao Tse Lu”. In this incident, it shows the fierce opposition between the modern society and the government. The reason for the opposition stems from the government’s diplomatic failure and impedes the social expression of the emotional tension caused by the foreign affairs. The reason for the collapse is that it is unable to save the country from danger and even suspects collusion with outsiders, thereby losing its authority in the society.
