Among the modern writers who studied Buddhism during May 4th period, a group of radical intellectuals, such as Chen Duxiu, Guo Moruo and Qu Qiubai, resolutely held the view of substituting science for religion, opposed Buddhist thought of emptiness, and gradually went towards Maxist Scientific Socialism.
