Who is it referring to?The same question was brought up again in 1915, two years after Bazhi Toutuo died in Fayuan Temple, the fourth year of the Republic of China. This year was a painful year for the Chinese people, because the Republic of China, which the Chinese finally established, suffered unprecedented disasters.Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China, was actually not satisfied with being the president, and he was going to be the emperor.All over the country, there is a voice of persuasion. Liang Qichao felt ashamed. At his home in Tianjin, he secretly met a mysterious person from Beijing. This person was none other than Cai Gen, a sixteen-year-old student who had changed his name to Cai E and Cai Songpo when he was teaching at the Hunan Current Affairs School eighteen years ago. Yin.

After the coup of 1898, Cai E went to Japan to study, and returned to the school of Liang Qichao, a teacher who went to exile in Japan.However, the meaning of the death of his other teacher, Tan Sitong, elicited a different explanation from Liang Qichao.In the explanations of teacher Liang Qichao and Tai teacher Kang Youwei, Tan Sitong died to take the road of improvement, so everyone should follow the dead and continue to take the road of improvement, including the way of being kind to people with the Manchu Qing government; but in Cai E’s explanation , Tan Sitong died to prove that the road of improvement is impracticable, and Tan Sitong's resolute death taught us to realize that this road is impracticable, but to take the road of revolution.Therefore, when he was nineteen years old, after the Boxer Rebellion broke out, he and his teacher Tang Caichang waited for nineteen people to sneak back to China from Japan to prepare for trouble.However, they failed.Zhang Zhidong, the feudal official who investigated the case, was Tang Caichang's teacher. During the interrogation, he wanted to exonerate his student, and deliberately told the left and right: This person is not like Tang Caichang!Could it be that the wrong person was caught?But Tang Caichang shouted loudly: If you fail, you will die. I, Tang Caichang, am not a person who lives on meddling!So, he was killed.Before he died, he recited a poem, and the last two lines are: I have my head to reward my old friends, but I can see demons without their true faces.He finally died less than two years after the death of his old friend Tan Sitong.

Tang Caichang did one thing when he was being rounded up. He skillfully burned the roster of comrades, so that the officials could not be implicated. Therefore, Cai E and other young comrades were able to escape to Japan and participate in the next wave of revolutionary actions. Cai E entered the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy with excellent grades. After graduation, he returned to China and joined the military camp of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, plotting a revolution. He was twenty-three years old at the time.Seven years later.On October 10, 1911, the Revolution of 1911 broke out in Hubei.Twenty days after the incident, he declared liberation in Yunnan and became the leader of the Yunnan region.At this time he was twenty-nine years old.Two months later, the Republic of China was established.

Although the Chinese Republic of China was established, the Chinese emperor's thinking has not receded.Only four years after the founding of the Republic of China, imperial activities began in full swing. Yuan Shikai, who betrayed Tan Sitong during the 1898 coup, manipulated public opinion and wanted to change the Republic of China into the Chinese Empire and make him emperor.At this time, Liang Qichao and Cai E couldn't bear it any longer. They wanted to fight for the dignity of the Chinese people and the lifeblood of the Republic of China under the terrifying situation where the gods were silent and the whole country dared to be angry but dared not speak out.This kind of effort is arduous. First of all, they have to get away from Beijing and Tianjin under the investigation of Yuan Shikai.One night, Cai E slipped from Beijing to Tianjin to see Liang Qichao, and they talked about their plan to escape.

Seventeen years ago, Liang Qichao said, I talked with your teacher Tan in Beijing about leaving and staying.Seventeen years later, we have this problem again.In my opinion, the current development situation should be that you leave the north first, rush to the south, and raise the banner of righteousness in the south to oppose the imperial system.I can't leave first, as soon as I leave, Yuan Shikai will pay special attention to you, so you won't be able to leave.So, Songpo, I will come to the back of the palace, you go first. However, Cai E hesitated, if I leave first, what if the teacher can't leave?

That doesn't affect our basic aspirations either.Remember your teacher Tan's inscribed poem on the wall in prison seventeen years ago? Looking at the door to stop thinking about Zhang Jian, To die for Duggan, I smile to the sky, To keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun. The fourth sentence states that between going and staying, everyone takes care of each other with all sincerity, and Kunlun is the birthplace of China.Two Kunluns refer to being two dignified Chinese people, no matter whether they go or stay, they are all dignified. At that time, Teacher Tan used Cheng Ying and Gongsun Chujiu to encourage Teacher and himself, and Kunlun was referring to the teacher and him.Cai E added a sentence.

Interpreting the two Kunluns as him and me echoes the words left above, which is of course equivalent, but later I saw the fifty-sixth chapter of the middle school chapter of Teacher Tan's "Shijuyinglu Brush Knowledge", which has this text: Friend Zou Yuanfan writes Zheng Jicheng said that Mount Shimanaya is Kunlun, which is accurate and credible.Mount Himana is in northern India.It is also a proof that the Tang people called Indians slaves of Kunlun.This text is the only interpretation of Kunlun made by Mr. Tan himself during his lifetime.From this point of view, Mr. Tan's so-called two Kunluns may refer to his family's servants, namely Hu Lichen and Luo Sheng.Of these two people, after Teacher Tan died, one went to Hubei to report to Teacher Tan's father; the other stayed in Beijing to take care of the aftermath, so they intended to stay.This explanation is a bit narrow, but discussing the reasons for Mr. Tan's willingness to die, family reasons are also one of them.Although he was abused by his stepmother since childhood, his relationship with his father is very deep.After the incident, among the documents confiscated by Admiral Nine Gates, there were many letters written by his father expressing dissatisfaction or severing ties because he opposed his participation in the reform and reform. Therefore, the Manchu Qing government did not implicate his father. In fact, these family letters were all It was fabricated by Mr. Tan in order to excuse his father.At that time, he was reluctant to escape for a long time, and he wanted to stay and imitate his father's handwriting to fabricate family letters, which was probably one of the reasons.When Teacher Tan’s accident happened, everyone jointly concealed it from his father, saying that Teacher Tan was only in prison, but a friend accidentally wrote a letter and leaked it. When his father heard the news, he put his hands on the desk, his eyes wept silently, and never heard of it again. say a word.There are many explanations for the reason why Mr. Tan took it easy and refused to walk away: or that he died to explain to those who supported the reform, or that he died to remind everyone to continue on the road of reform. He died, or that he reminded everyone to take the road of revolution to prove that this road is not feasible, or that he died to save his father.Every explanation can actually be established.

Teacher, which one do you believe in?Cai E asked. I believe that Teacher Tan would rather die for multiple reasons.However, seeing through life and death from Buddhism, and then killing one's body to become benevolent, to complete the righteous fruit, is the most fundamental.I think from the point of view of the big goal, he wants to use his death to prove that the road to improvement is unworkable. The real solution to China's problems depends on everyone's revolution; It really has the effect of encouraging Da Dao Wang Wu and the others to save the emperor.Let's not overlook the chivalrous element in Mr. Tan's character.In his chivalrous character, seeing that Emperor Guangxu was influenced by the Han people and was willing to sacrifice everything to save China, he felt uneasy and sorry that he ended up like this, so he wanted to save the emperor in the end. He himself did not Power, so please Da Dao Wang Wu and the others to take a big risk, so he felt uneasy and sorry for Da Dao Wang Wu and the others again.In the end, he used his death to show his ambition, his death to show that he would not live, and his death to show that a man would pay his life to be responsible for what he did. This is very open and aboveboard.From this point of view, the two Kunluns refer to Wang Wu and Hu Qi, but they are similar.Some say that Wang Wu and Hu Qi are swordsmen of the Kunlun school; some say that the Tang Dynasty novel "Kunlun Slave Biography" has Kunlun Numo Le, and the Song Dynasty "Taiping Guangji" also has Tao Xian and his Kunlun Numaha, all expressed in Kunlun Chivalrous actions, so what the two Kunluns are referring to is the matter of the swordsmen saving the emperor.At the end of that poem, he wrote on his own side, dying calmly; and entrusted the action of saving the emperor to the swordsmen.According to this way of explaining, it is possible that among the two Kunluns, one refers to Tan Sitong himself, and the other refers to Wang Wu.The relationship between them has also become the relationship between those who leave and those who stay.Back then, Gongsun Chujiu said, "Which is harder, being alone or dying?"Is it difficult to raise an orphan to grow up and die?Cheng Ying said: Death is easy, but isolation is hard!Gongsun Chujiu said: "The family surnamed Zhao treats you well, so you can reluctantly take on the difficult part. I will take on the easy part. I will die first."The ancestors of the Zhao family met Zihou, Zijiang was the one who was difficult, and I was the one who was easy, please die first.I think, after thinking about it, Mr. Tan thought that his identity and situation were suitable for playing the role of Gongsun Chujiu, so he became a resident, and left many things in the future to Wang Wu and the others.The best explanation for Mr. Tan's inscription on the wall in prison is probably more appropriate in this direction.

Cai E nodded.But he has a doubt that cannot be resolved: However, according to the "Ren Xue" printed by the teacher for Teacher Tan, there is clearly his argument that he should overcome the snare.He said: At the beginning, it was the snare of profit and wealth, the snare of secularism if it was textual research, the snare of global group studies, the snare of monarchs, the snare of ethics, the snare of heaven, and the world The snare of group religions will eventually break through the snare of Buddhism.He also said: The king uses his name to restrain his officials, and the official uses his name to yoke the people.He also said: The disaster of the monarch cannot be added, and it cannot be endured by strangers.He also said: For two thousand years, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers has been especially dark and blocked, and there is no human reason.From now on, it will become more and more dramatic!He also said: The king is also the same as the people, and it is even more inferior than ordinary people.There is no reason for death between the people and the people; there is no reason for death between the origin and the end.There is no reason for death, but no reason for death.The dead king is loved by eunuchs and concubines, and forgiven by ordinary husbands and wives.What's more, there is also the view of the Manchu and Han races, who enslaved the world? , Judging from these words, Mr. Tan obviously has the views of non-jun, even full of Han, but after he had a short opportunity to practice the way of the king, he did a tragic action that was too much like the dead king.The teacher said that Teacher Tan would rather die for multiple reasons. Among them, the death of the emperor and the tragic death of Emperor Guangxu also accounted for an important one?Or even the only reason?If this is the case, then among the various explanations for Teacher Tan's martyrdom, this statement is even more shocking.What did the teacher think?

Liang Qichao sat at the desk, nodded his head, and lightly poked his head with his index finger.He has a big head and big eyes, giving people a bright and wise feeling.In front of the primary school student Cai E, besides being bright and wise, there is also a sense of friendship and tacit understanding. Regarding the issue of death and death, we discussed it when Mr. Tan met me for the last time.Teacher Tan basically opposed the Qing Dynasty and the emperor.So in his writings, we can see that he praised the revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, saying that Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing were suffering from the monarchs and officials, and they took risks, and they were compassionate; To vent the hatred of the people.We have felt his anti-imperialist words and deeds as early as when he was in the current affairs school.And once he was favored and reused by the Manchu emperor, he sacrificed himself as a reward to the Lord. At first glance, it seems that he has such a change of opposites.But looking carefully, I think Emperor Guangxu in his eyes is no longer a monarch in a narrow sense, but a thing in a broad sense. It is the sincerity of reforming the law and reforming corrupt politics; Guangxu symbolizes that he does not keep profits and protect the state, does not become a Han, or an emperor, but sacrifices himself to save the country and the people; Guangxu symbolizes not an ordinary emperor, but a A true patriot, a true man with ideals and ambitions.In Teacher Tan's eyes, Guangxu is no longer a king, but a symbol of things, and even a friend who shares weal and woe with the great cause.They are no longer monarchs and ministers, but are both great Chinese.Just as Mr. Tan said in his book, at the beginning of the life of the people, there is no such thing as a monarch and ministers, but they are all people.Because of this, Mr. Tan did not avoid adversity and waited to die. In fact, this was the reason why he refused to leave. From the standpoint of all people, he did not want to leave Guangxu alone in Beijing.Of course, this is only one of the reasons.As I said just now, every explanation can actually be established, and what you think is the reason for the death of the king is naturally added.Teacher Tan is by no means a dead king in the narrow sense, basically, he is against the emperor.At this point, seventeen years after his death, you and I have teamed up to implement his ideas again.The ancients said: Western sages appeared in the world because of a great event.In his short life of 33 years, Mr. Tan appeared in the world because of this great event. He left the compass and blood evidence for the goal of our Chinese people. Role models, let us miss and think about them for a long time.That's why he is with us.As Liang Qichao spoke, tears were already streaming down his face.

Cai E nodded, the teacher is right, it seems that there are tens of thousands of Chinese people, praising Wang Mang's merits and persuading him to show up; seeing Yuan Shikai become the emperor, what a nonsense!What do Chinese people look like in the world?The Chinese are all spineless and impersonal, how can this work? With you and me here, no one will look down upon the Chinese!Liang Qichao took it and spoke forcefully.You and I will work hard separately.If things succeed, you don’t need any status, just go back and do our learning; if things fail, you are ready to die, and you will neither go to the concession nor go to foreign countries! In this way, Cai E escaped from Liang Qichao's house in disguise to Japan, and transferred to Yunnan, where he could influence, to declare an uprising against the monarchy; .After all the hardships and narrow escapes, the goal of continuing the lifeline of the Republic of China was finally achieved.However, the rebels themselves paid a relatively high price. Hongxian Emperor Yuan Shikai died in shame and anger in June, at the age of fifty-eight.Cai E also died of overwork five months later. He died in a Japanese hospital at the age of thirty-five. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ While Liang Qichao, Cai E, teachers and students joined forces, Liang Qichao's teacher Kang Youwei also joined.When Kang Youwei revolted in Yunnan, he secretly wrote to Cai E, asking him to try to recover Sichuan;Liang Qichao was happy that his teacher was also involved in this action, but he was shocked when he found out that Teacher Kang's real purpose was to restore the Manchu emperor after the overthrow of Yuan Shikai.After Cai E's death, Kang Youwei wrote a pair of elegiac couplets in his capacity as an ether teacher, which read: The humble gentleman's bow is now the age of Hong Xian; Because of thinking about my son, I am afraid of hearing the sound of drums and drums. Hearing the sound of drums and thinking of good generals, this is what Kang Youwei has on his mind.However, he has no good generals, he is just naked.Even so, he is not discouraged, and he still wants to design a future for China.Five years ago, an ancient country with emperors for thousands of years no longer had emperors.Republic, republic, republic has become a fashionable slogan.Sun Yat-sen became the interim president in Nanjing, and proposed peace talks to Beijing, demanding that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdicate, and Emperor Xuantong abdicated; in Beijing, the military and political power fell into the hands of Yuan Shikai. After black-market negotiations, Sun Yat-sen let the president out. Yuan Shikai took office as interim president in Beijing.How can a country as big as China be handed over to the revolutionary party and old bureaucrats in such a private way?It is certainly a concern if China is handed over to Sun Yat-sen, but wouldn't it be just as bad if it were handed over to Yuan Shikai? From the empire to the Republic of China, China has made some progress in form.The braids that had been kept for three hundred years were cut off; the lunar calendar that had been practiced for thousands of years was given to the sun; the national flag was changed to a five-color flag according to the five-color official flag of the Qing Dynasty; Sir; the old official systems have also been changed to new names one by one. However, these advances are mostly formal.The government is against the little feet, but some people are still pestering them; the government is against opium, but some people are still smoking; the government is against torture, but some people are still beating them; the government is against human trafficking, but some people are still buying and selling them.The Republic of China is far away from the nominal empire, but it is still so close to the real empire.It is, in many ways, just synonymous with empire! One thing is really far away, and that is the centripetal force of the whole country to the central government. That kind of centripetal force has been gathered by the emperor for thousands of years to form the basic model for stabilizing the country.However, when the Republic of China arrived, the emperor fell.The strong ones have progressed to the point where they don't want others to be emperors, but they haven't progressed to the point where they don't want to be emperors themselves.Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China, is one of those who want to be emperor himself. Kang Youwei has long seen this crisis. At the moment when the old and the new are changing, he speaks loudly and talks about saving the nation.However, in the overwhelming tide of voices and this voice is revolution, no one is willing to publish his article, and no one dares to publish his article.He lives in Japan, and in his fifties, he has been idle.His mood is confused.Before he was forty years old, old-fashioned people said he was a reformer; after he was more than fifty years old, reformers said he was old-fashioned.And this argument has already begun.When he was in his fifties, the Revolution of 1911 and the founding of the Republic of China were the days when Kang Youwei was eliminated.When others were conservative and he promoted reform, everyone supported him; but when others were full, he was royalist; when others were revolutionary, he was counter-revolutionary;Others can only know him in the first stage, but not him in the second stage.However, Kang Youwei was unwilling to be discouraged, and no one printed his articles. He himself founded the magazine "Unbearable" in the year when the Republic of China was founded.This magazine publishes one monthly, all of which are written by himself, with about 70,000 to 80,000 words each. He uses his own power to shout loudly to wake up others.However, twenty years ago, the object he awakened was an emperor; twenty years later, the object he awakened was thousands of sentient beings.The difference is that the emperor was awakened, but the emperor was powerless to save the country; as for the sentient beings, they could not be awakened at all, they were just sleepwalking patients.In the end, Kang Youwei himself became the one who was powerless.But did he stop there?No, we still need to find some like-minded people who share the same ideals to save the country.As early as the Revolution of 1911, when he was in exile in Japan, he wrote to Huang Xing, the leader of the revolutionary party, Huang Zhen who sent comrades to Beijing to pick up Tan Sitong, that is, Huang Keqiang, reminding him that China was a monarchy for thousands of years If it suddenly becomes a republic, it will cause trouble. It is better to learn from Britain and Japan, and use a constitutional monarchy to maintain stability for a long time.He believes that the most ideal virtual monarch in this republic of virtual monarchs is the descendant of Confucius.But who can listen to such pedantic opinions? Five years have passed since the Revolution of 1911, and the revolution he predicted would bring trouble to China seems to be right on target.He is determined to bring China back again.Now, there is a suitable candidate to be the Xujun, and that is Puyi, the last emperor of China who was abolished.The disadvantage of Puyi is that he is a Manchu, but his advantage is also that he is a Manchu.The Manchus have ruled China for 268 years.This historical background just shows its stability.Puyi is the successor of Emperor Guangxu, and his year name is Xuantong. Less than three years after Xuantong, the Republic of China was established.Among the survivors, there are many diehards who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty. They want to restore the restoration and turn the present into the past. However, they are unarmed and powerless.It happened that Zhang Xun, a patrol envoy to the Yangtze River and an Anhui military governor, was a stubborn expert. In order to show his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, he kept the braids of his 30,000 troops without cutting them.So one year after Yuan Shikai's death, Emperor Xuantong was established to listen to the government and take back the power.In this live drama, Kang Youwei also joined and became the vice president of the Bute Academy.However, in a flash in the pan for thirteen days, Duan Qirui's troops sworn in at Machang defeated the braided army.Emperor Xuantong fled to the British Legation to seek political asylum, Zhang Xun fled to the Dutch Legation, and Kang Youwei fled to the American Legation. The American minister treated Kang Youwei courteously, and placed him in Meisenyuan, where he wrote books and poems all day long, waiting for changes.Throughout the failure of restoration, his greatest pain was not that he could not restore the old dynasty, because he had long been mentally prepared and knew that restoration would not be easy, and it was not surprising that he failed; He has also been mentally prepared, knowing that these people are not successful, and it is not surprising that they mess up.What surprised him the most was that Liang Qichao, his No. 1 disciple, had betrayed him, and the real military adviser Duan Qirui had sworn to be his master was none other than Liang Qichao.Liang Qichao, in his telegram against the restoration, publicly denounced the first person who conspired this time, not as a greedy and insatiable warrior, but as a brazen scholar. Apparently, he directly attacked Mr. Kang.Kang Youwei hid in the U.S. Legation, and was very angry at Liang Qichao's refusal to give in to his teacher.He wrote a poem saying: The owl eats its mother and the owl eats its father, Xing Tianwu Qi Hu guards the pass, Pangmeng bent his bow and shot at Yi, Sit and watch the sunset and cry. In his poems, everything from animals to mythology that shows examples of ingratitude is included in his poems.At the end of the poem, he also wrote thirteen characters.You can see the pain in his heart.His most beloved student also left him, and this world became even lonelier. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ However, in the solitude, there is also a voice of dialogue, that is, a Chinese-speaking military attache in the American Legation, named Stilwell, often comes to chat with him, and the two talk very speculatively.Once, Stilwell asked about the Restoration. Some people say that you, Mr. Kang, participated in the restoration this time because you were obsessed with the red-topped flower feathers and unwilling to be lonely.While toasting tea, Stilwell inadvertently introduced the theme. Do you think I, Kang Youwei, are so worthless and reactionary?You are wrong.Kang Youwei was a little excited.I actually know very well about monarchy.The sage kings in history are nothing but big Jie and small Jie; the so-called virtuous ministers are only helping Jie to abuse them.These handsome old men don’t know anything about politics at all. I joined the Restoration and came here with the aim of realizing the ideal of the republic, not to participate in these people’s scandals. Don’t mistake me! A false republic?During the Reform Movement of 1898, did you, Mr. Kang, create a republic of false monarchs? Not then.At that time, I hoped that Emperor Guangxu would be like Peter the Great, with real power, an enlightened autocracy; but after the Reform Movement of 1898, I tended to have a constitutional monarchy and believed that the power of the monarchy should be limited; after 1911, since the Republic of China already existed, I advocated that we adopt the British style. The republic of virtual kings.My political views have evolved. From the perspective of ordinary people, I am a royalist party. In fact, the emperors I protect are definitely not the emperors who are handsome and old.I think the unification foundation of the 268 years of the Qing Dynasty should be cherished, it is a stabilizing force and a centripetal force.The emperor is a symbol of this stable and centripetal force.Look at Britain, from the absolute monarchy of Henry VIII in the past to the illusory republic of George V today, there are emperors there. A symbol with a name hangs there. Since protecting the emperor and protecting the emperor, the nature of the protected emperor has changed again and again, and even become a false name, an empty shell, why bother to hang there in every possible way?Wouldn't it be better to simply change it to the People's Republic? otherwise.Don't forget, China is a country with emperors, and it has been thousands of years. You must pay attention to this tradition, even if you use it, it is a kind of attention.I have been abroad for 16 years, went to England eight times, France seven times, Switzerland five times, Portugal once, lived in Mexico for half a year, and lived in the United States for three years. I have visited 31 countries and traveled 600,000 people. Although I dare not say that I know all the truth, I have been investigating carefully, so my conclusion is not empty, but solid.I firmly believe that China should learn from Britain and threaten the emperor to achieve republic.As for who is the emperor, as long as it has a traditional symbolic role, it is fine.From the descendants of Confucius, Yan Sheng Gong, to the Man Qing Emperor Xun, I agree.At present, Yan Shenggong is only two years old, so Xuantong is more suitable.So I joined the Restoration.I participated in the hope that everyone would create a republic, but I didn't expect that the widows and braids didn't know much about it.The enlightened democratic measures I proposed to name the country as the Chinese Empire, the republic of false monarchs, the convening of a national assembly, the dissolution of the Manchu-Han boundary, the prohibition of relatives and dignitaries from intervening in politics, the exemption from prostration, and the avoidance of imperial taboos, etc., were not accepted by them. The Qing Dynasty, the Great Qing Gate, the Great Qing Bank, etc., tried in vain to restore the rule of the old dynasty, and everyone scrambled for power and profit. Is that my original intention? Stilwell nodded, nodding, he was obviously persuaded by Kang Youwei.He stood up and offered tea to Kang Youwei again. Mr. Kang's views are far-reaching and his conduct is upright. We Americans all understand that this is why our legation is willing to come forward to protect Mr. Kang politically.It's a pity that Mr. Kang's native people don't know enough about Mr. Kang, which is a pity.This is really China's problem. Kang Youwei sneered.The problem isn't just China's, is it?Why not you in the United States?The prophet and hero of your founding, Thomas.Paine, after bringing the United States into a new realm, isn't it necessary to leave the United States and go to France to find another world?He was imprisoned in France because he opposed the violent revolution. Although the President of the United States rescued him back to the United States, he died in the neglect of the Americans for the rest of his life. He was not truly recognized until more than a hundred years later. Surely, you Americans treat your prophets and heroes differently! Stilwell smiled wryly, and said: Jesus said that the prophets were never accepted in his own land, probably because of this?However, China is a great nation. This nation is so sophisticated and has its unique structure. They may have a surprising affirmation for you, Mr. Kang, one day, and maybe they don’t have to wait a hundred years.Take a look at your Mr. Kang today. You are clearly a key criminal who committed treason, but you can get away with it. Apart from blaming you, Kang Youwei, for being old, fatuous and out of step with the trend of the times, everyone has no malice towards you. A major feature of the Chinese people.Now the minister is discussing privately with the Chinese government, turn a blind eye and let you go south, this is impossible in foreign countries!During the French Revolution Thomas.In order to protect the resigned emperor, Pan En would be locked up; and you, Mr. Kang, pushed the resigned emperor to power, and it was nothing more than nothing.The Chinese don't understand the Prophet, but they don't persecute him too much You look at it!Kang Youwei interrupted him.I am old, I may not see it anymore, but you will see the drastic changes in China.I think I am the last remaining prophet in China, the last prophet who was let go by the masses, the mob, and the political party.There is no other reason, they think that I am no longer part of their era, they let me go, just like they let go of a live antique.But, just wait and see, this remaining magnanimity will become less and less in the future.The Republic of China, the Republic of China, the people are still the same, the country is still the same, there will be so many troubles in the future!If the Qing Dynasty was the setting sun and the setting sun, then the Republic of China was the night after the setting sun and the setting sun. There will be many troubles in the future!Having said that, Kang Youwei raised his head and looked out the window.In the past forty years, I have predicted everything that I have predicted, and those who do not listen to my advice have failed.This is the pain of being a prophet.This kind of person saw China as early as 40 years ago, and also sees 40 years from now. Although 40 years later, this kind of person will be dead long ago, but this pair of old eyes will always be don't die.Do you know the story of the ancient Chinese Wu Zixu?Before he died, he ordered to hang his head at the gate of the city to see the demise of his country. Mr. Kang should not be too pessimistic!Stilwell stood up.Even though the Republic of China is a dark night, you, Mr. Kang, are still a bright moon, always illuminating it. Yeah?Kang Youwei smiled and stood up too.Let's not talk about it, Mr. Mutang just wanted me to write a few words for him, so I'm going to spend my money.Chinese calligraphy is really useful, it is the best treasure when you want to escape the reality. People say that Mr. Kang's calligraphy is the first in the Republic of China.Mr. Kang can be immortal just by calligraphy.Stilwell praised. It is not number one in the Republic of China, but number one in China and the Qing Dynasty.I don't want to stand in the Republic of China by calligraphy.It is shameful to rely on calligraphy when all living beings are waiting to be fed and state affairs are at stake.But, on a small matter, how am I going to live the rest of my life?Maybe I have to make a living by selling words.Haha, the smallest part of my life has become the greatest in the Republic of China.Mr. Stilwell, being a prophet doesn't have to be painful anymore, as long as he is willing to write with a brush! Amid laughter, the two broke up. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ Three days later, after hiding in the American legation for half a year, the American envoy finally reached a tacit agreement with the Chinese government and sent Kang Youwei to Tianjin in a special car.Before leaving, Kang Youwei left some things for Stilwell to take care of. Among them was a hand scroll, which was intentionally left unsealed.Stilwell opened it, and there were five majestic characters written on it: when is the moon Below it is written in small print: Mr. Mutang Kang Youwei Stilwell was startled, then shook his head, stopped, and after a while turned his face out of the window.Mr. Kang comes in autumn and leaves in winter.He thought to himself, he should go, the winter in Beijing is too cold for him.
