Qian Zhongshu
In September 1930, Wu Mi went to Europe to visit and study. One year later, he came back to Tsinghua and continued his teaching. At Tsinghua, his famous students included Qian Zhongshu, who, while greatly admiring Wu, wrote a satirical essay about him, which caused a minor scandal. Qian's essay followed on a similar profile of Wu as being an estimable man but a deluded romanticist by Wu's colleague Wen Yuan-ning.
