FOR NEXT SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS TING
FANG Will BE A SPECTATOR NO MATTER
WHETHER CHINA IS REPUBLIC OR EMPIRE
Former Chinese Minister to the United States lies Reached the Three-Quarter Century Mark
But He Confidently Expects to Live Until He is 150 Years Old—Talks Interestingly
Os His Plans For Remainder of Life
SHANGHAI, Oct. 20.—Dr. Wu Ting
fang, the former Chinese minister to
the United States, although he plans
to live to be 150 years old, now con
siders himself out of public life, and
for the next seventy-five years will be
just am onlooker, regardless whether
the Chinese Republic is turned back
into an Empire.
‘‘The folks up at Peking are running
things. They haven’t asked my advice
and they probably wouldn’t act on it if
I gave it,” said Dr Wu, when asked
for his comments on the mouarchial
movement.
“In my recent book on America I
told what I thought about the Ameri
can government, the Chinese govern
ment and governments in general. I
couldn’t say any more than I said in
that book and I haven’t changed my
mind since I wrote it,” the venerable
diplomat continued.
Dr. Wu’s book called, “America
Through th e Spectacles of an Oriental
Diplomat,” contains a chapter review
ing monarchial and republican forms

of government in detail. He says: “It
may be pertinently asked why China
has become a republic, since from
tim e immemorial she has had a mon
archial form of government. The
answer is that the conditions and cir
cumstancess in China are peculiar, and
are different fr > n those prevailing in
Japan and other countries. In Japan
it is claimed that the empire was
founded by the first emperor, Jimmu
Tenno, G6O B. C., and that the dynasty
founded by him has continued ever
sines. It is well known that the Chin
ese imperial family is of Manchu orig
in. The Cring dynasty was founded in
1644 by conquest, not by succession.
Upon the recent overthrow of the Mai: -
chu dynasty it was found very difficult
to find a Chinese, however popular and
able, who possessed the legal right of
succeeding to the throne. Jealousy
and provincial feelings placed this
suggestion absolutely beyond discus
sion. Disagreements, frictions, and
constant civil wars would have ensued
if any attempt had been made to estab
lish a Chinese dynasty. Another fact
is that a large majority of the intelli
gent people of China were disgusted
with the system of monarchial govern
ment. Thus it will be seem that for
the sake of the peace and welfare of
th e nation there was no other course
for the people but to take a long jump
and to establish the present republic.
The law of evolution has been very ac
tively at work in China, and no doubt
it will be for her ultimate good, and
therefore for the lei efit of all man-

kind. China is now an infant republic,
but she wdll grow r into a healthy and
strong youth.”
The home of Dr. Wu is a modern
granite house, located in a large wall
ed garden, rich in palms and luxuriaM
tropical flowers. At the lodge gate a
tall Sikh, wearing a read turban
greets visitors and bids the drivers to
proceed along the gravelled ro . I lead
ing to the port-cochere banked with
potted plants of various colors. The
entrance leads into a wide hal At
clnle side of this is Dr. Wu’s study; at
the other a large drawing room furn
ished in beautiful blackwood pieces of
Chinese designs, and with white walls
relieved by silk banners gearinc quota
tions from the Chinese classics. In the
center of the room is a great round
table of blackw’ood with mottled mar
ble top. Dr. Wu and The Associated
Press correspondent sat at this drink
ing tea while the statesman discussed
his future plan: ,
“I shall devote the rest of my life
to literary work. I have just finished
some books fr. Chinese oh. educati .1 al
subjects. I am much interested in a
better system of schools for my coun
try."
“You still cling to your vegetarian
principles?”
“Oh yes, I have found the scret of
health. No liquor nor tobacco for me,
and no meat. One learns ho</ to live
sanely as one advances in years.”
“And you plan to make Shanghai:
your permanent home?”
“Oh at least for the present l|
am happier here than, anyw'here else.
After my long years abroad I returned
to Peking still with enthusiasm and
now idea- \ bich I desire to sea put n
to effect in China. But I found the at
mosphere of Pekin too conservative.
The officials there lived too much out
of the world currents, aind were too
unwilling to consider new ideas. I
chose Shanghai as my present home
because it is so cosmopolitan. There
are people here from all over the
world and from all over China. It is
a busy commercial center, a clearing
house for modern thought. I find in
spiration here and lam happy in
watching China work out a govern
ment under which she will be able to
develop her limitless resources.”
