Extended information:

Young China is a prose written by Liang Qichao (1873-1929) in the late Qing Dynasty. It was written in 1900 after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898. The article extols the vitality of young people. , pointed out that China under feudal rule was the "eldest empire" and fervently hoped that a "young China" would emerge to inspire the people's spirit.

The article is informal and uses metaphors, which is highly encouraging. It has a strong enterprising spirit and expresses the author's love and expectations for young China.

The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, and the national crisis became unprecedentedly serious. "Young China" was written in 1900, when the author Liang Qichao was in exile in Japan after the Reform Movement of 1898. That year was the Year of Gengzi. At that time, due to imperialist aggression, the Boxer Rebellion patriotic movement broke out in China. The imperialists united to form the Eight-Power Allied Forces, colluded with the Qing government, suppressed the Boxer Rebellion, and captured Tianjin, Beijing and other places.

At that time, the Eight-Power Allied Forces created public opinion and slandered China as the "old empire", the "sick man of East Asia", and "a piece of loose sand" that could not stand on its own and could only be managed or divided by the great powers. Among the Chinese, some ignorant and foolish people also shouted that "it is unnatural for China not to perish" and "any great power can destroy China within three days", spreading pessimism and making the national crisis unprecedentedly serious.

The failure of the Reform Movement of 1898 forced Liang Qichao to flee to Japan, but he did not give up his efforts to reform and strengthen himself. When he arrived in Japan, he founded the "Qing Yi Bao" and tried his best to promote the continuation of the reform movement through the media. At that time, imperialism created public opinion and slandered China as the "eldest empire".

In order to refute the shameless nonsense of the imperialists, correct the slavish mentality of some people in China who give up on themselves and worship foreign things, arouse the people's patriotic enthusiasm, and stimulate the nation's self-esteem and self-confidence, Liang Qichao timely wrote This article "Young China".
