You can retort that we admit that the Westernization Movement has made some achievements in some aspects, but it is not a success. It was basically a failure. What is the meaning of failure? Xinhua Dictionary explains on page 1 136 that the work has not achieved the expected purpose. The purpose of Westernization Movement was to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but the total annihilation of Beiyang Navy in the Sino-Japanese War marked the complete failure of Westernization Movement. So it didn't achieve the expected goal at all. From this perspective, I think this title is meaningless. Moreover, history doomed the Westernization Movement to be a failure. It didn't fundamentally change the old system in China, but introduced western advanced technology in a new form, just like grafting new leaves on a dead tree, which was useless.

We also have a debate contest! The theme of our debate is that the financial crisis has more opportunities than challenges for China. Life?is?so?hard.
