The failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 forced Liang Qichao to flee to Japan, but he did not give up his efforts to strengthen the country through reform. In Japan, he founded Qingyi Daily and tried his best to publicize the continuation of the Reform Movement through the media.
At that time, imperialism created public opinion and slandered China as the "boss empire". In order to refute the imperialists' shameless abuse, correct the servile psychology of some people in China, arouse people's patriotic enthusiasm, and arouse national pride and self-confidence, Liang Qichao wrote this article on young chinese in due course.
Extended data:
Liang Qichao, the author of On young chinese, devoted his life to the social reform in China. For the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the nation, he tried his best to shout and run, and made almost all efforts.
However, his political views are changing, changing and inconsistent, which makes them unconvincing. During the Reform Movement of 1898, Liang Qichao followed Kang Youwei step by step. Whether running a newspaper or teaching, he pays attention to and vigorously expounds Kang Youwei's reform thoughts and theories.
Based on Ram III's theory and western evolutionism, he advocated political reform, emphasized reform and publicized western science and culture, which fully showed the vigor and spirit of young patriots.
