不少描述民国时期的书籍或文章都慨叹那个时期的知识分子,是一批有“骨气”而又“好玩”、“有趣”且学问深厚之人。他们有时如孩童般天真,而且对于世事亦常有惊世骇俗的作为。显而易见,他们可以如此恣意妄为正是得益于民国政府的宽容。民国时期,无论是北洋政府,还是蒋介石治下的南京、重庆国民政府,不仅礼遇知识分子,使其成为高收入阶层,而且对于那些冒犯自己的知识分子也尽量包容。 Many books or articles depicting the period of the Republic of China all lamented the intellectuals of that period and were a group of people with profound knowledge of “bone gas” and “fun”, “interesting” characters. They are sometimes innocent children, and they are often shocking to the world. Obviously, they can act so arbitrarily precisely because of the tolerance of the government of the Republic of China. During the period of the Republic of China, both the Beiyang government and Nanjing, the government of Chongqing under Chiang Kai-shek, not only courteous intellectuals, made them high-income groups, but also tolerated those offended intellectuals as much as possible.
