1938年9月,胡适就任驻美大使。不久,他作了一首白话小诗《题在自己的照片上,送给陈光甫》,诗云:“偶有几茎白发,心情微近中年;做了过河卒子,只能拼命向前。”表明他为抗战竭力奔走的愿望。三年任职期间,胡适以一介书生奔走于美国各地及英法等欧洲诸国,为祖国的抗战事业作宣传、 In September 1938, Hu Shi served as an ambassador to the United States. Soon after, he made a vernacular poem entitled “Send it to his own photograph and give it to Chen Guangkai”. The poem reads: “Some occasionally have a few gray hairs, and they feel very close to middle age; they have been pawns and can only desperately Go forward.” Shows his desire to run hard for the anti-war. During his three years in office, Hu Shih ran through the United States and other European countries such as Britain and France with a piece of scholarship to publicize the cause of the war against the motherland.
