They are now buried near the "Tomb of the Three Elders"( Hu Xiansu, Ren-Chang Ching and Chen Fenghuai).


Ideology

In the 1920s, Chen Yinke insisted that research should be of ''"thoughts of freedom, spirits of independence"''. In 1953 he was designated as head of the Second Department of Institute of History Study in
Chinese Academy of Sciences The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS; ) is the national academy for natural sciences and the highest consultancy for science and technology of the People's Republic of China. It is the world's largest research organization, with 106 research i ...

, as a shield"''. He explained that ''"Mao, the top political authority, and Liu, the top party leader, should have consensus with me on the matter, otherwise academic research would be out of the question."''Reply to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, dictated by Chen Yinke and noted by Wang Qian, 1 December 1953. Copy archived in Zhongshan University. He did not assume the position eventually, continuing working at Zhongshan University. The incident was not disclosed to the public until the 1980s. In his poem ''The Female Impersonator'' (Nandan; 男旦), Chen used the theatrical tradition of female impersonation to compare Communist Thought Reform as a process of "transforming men into women".


Posthumous reception

Political and academic debate of Chen's legacy contributed to a surge of interest in Chen and his life in the Sinophone world beginning in the early 1980s and contributing to the 2000s. Public discussions, biographies, dramas, and documentaries characterized Chen as a "master of national learning" and intellectual of major significance. In 1995, Lu Jiandong's book ''The Last Twenty Years of Chen Yinke'' prompted major debate about Chen in the Chinese public sphere. Similar melodramatic narratives of Chen were published in newspapers, magazines, and by the popular press. Chinese liberal intellectuals promoted these narratives. Critics contended that Lu's approach used hollow rhetoric to exaggerate Chen's psychological trauma and China's cultural despair. Chen's legacy has significantly shaped the self-conception of Chinese liberal intellectuals. In his essay ''The Unfreedom of Literati'', academic Ge Zhaoguang describes Chen as having been conflicted between two approaches, that of the traditional Chinese "scholar-official" seeking to save the nation and the modern scholar who adheres to neutral academic norms. Writing approvingly, Zhu Xueqin contends that Chen's refusal to commit to any ideological doctrine makes him a perfect embodiment of classic liberalism.
