”Ting Wen-chiang Ti Chuan-chi” (”A Biography of Ting Wen-chiang”), written by Hu Shih in 1956, is an important reference material to studies of republican era historical figures. Hu shih, as a scholar, published his important historical monographs in 1950s. Although with highly willingness, Hu and Fu Ssu-nien, two intimate friends of Ting Wen-chiang (aka. V. K. Ting), are hesitated to write monograph or biography on Ting. After pass-away of Fu, as the ”old soldier in Chinese Renaissance Movement”, Hu is most appropriated one to complete monograph about figure in the movement. Biography was completed and published in 1956, twentieth year after Ting's depature, is also during high-tide of ”criticizing Hu Shih's Thinking” political movement in mainland china.As an important figure in Chinese liberalism, Hu Shih analyzed Ting's educational background, personal experiences, exploration works of geology, and academic arguments to show multiple activities in disciplinary institutionalization, academic administration and political participation of Ting. Albeit lacking in historical material, Hu did his best effort, and did not make judgment such as ”winner takes all” or revolutionary preference often be read in modern chinese revolutionary-orientation historical narration. It is different and new viewpoint from official viewpoint in China. During cold war era, anti-communist environment and pro-Chiang Kai-shek to recovery china in 1950, Hu's evaluation on Ting's soviet inspection tour shows his historian hindsight and reflection on era. Hu also mentioned Ting as one insist patriot, did much effort to achieve nation-building of modern China. Hu mentioned little about interaction between Ting and Chiang Kai-shek, Hu just depicted Ting as a scholar; in fact, Ting was also a marginal man between academic and politics.
