The representative of the new cultural movement - Wu Yu, a native of Chengdu Xindu

After the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai's usurpation of the fruits of victory and the reactionary and dark rule of the Beiyang warlords prompted China's advanced intellectuals to gradually and soberly realize that there must be new advanced ideologies and theories as guidance, and there must be new advanced classes and their political leaders. In the process of exploring the truth of saving the country and the people and seeking the road to national independence and national prosperity, China's advanced intellectuals held high the banner of "democracy and science" and launched a new cultural movement.

Wu Yu, a native of Xindu, was active in the new cultural movement and was hailed as "the scavenger of China's ideological circles" and "the old hero of Sichuan's hand punching confucius".

Wu Yu received a systematic feudal education in his early years and entered the Chengdu Zunjing Academy in 1891. In 1898, under the influence of the "Penghu Restoration Movement", Wu Yu turned to Western social and political theory, and his thinking was gradually liberated.

In October 1905, Wu Yudong traveled to Japan to study the laws, political science, and economics of various countries. In 1907, he graduated from Hosei University in Japan, and after returning to China, he became the chief writer of Sichuan's "Awakening Group Newspaper" to encourage new studies. In 1910, he became a teacher of Chinese language at Chengdu Fuli Middle School, and soon went to teach at Peking University, and published articles such as "The Family System as the Basis of Authoritarianism" and "Speaking of Filial Piety" in the "New Youth", and published many articles in the "Shu Bao" such as "Family Bitterness" and "Cannibalism and Etiquette", fiercely attacking the old etiquette and Confucianism.
