Abstract: Mei Guangdi is a spiritual leader of Xueheng School. The current study on Mei focuses on theoretical interpretation from the perspective of cultural conservatism and little work has been done in revealing his thought according to historical data. This is mainly due to the few extant historical data about Mei. My investigations in Harvard University Archives, Yanjing Library, Taiwan Archives of National History and Special Archives of the Kuomintang in Taiwan show evidently Mei’s excellent English when studied abroad, his initial teaching position in Harvard University as a lecturer of Chinese language, his political activities after coming back to China and the detailed information about his death because of illness.
