A Special Interview with Professor Hsu Hong: Dr. Hsu's Reflections on his Educational Background and Research Methods for the Study of Ming-Qing History

Abstract

Hsu: In 1961, I was accepted on the basis of my exam results as a university student by the Department of History, National Taiwan University. Around 1949 when the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan, many accomplished scholars from Beijing University, Qinghua University and [Nanjing] Central University also moved to Taiwan. One could say that at that time, National Taiwan University was a gathering spot of distinguished teachers: in historical studies, each and every research area was staffed by contemporary China’s most qualified scholars.
