Call for change:

Yan Fu clamored for political reform or death. The first step of reform is to abolish stereotyped writing.

Yan Fu elaborated on the harm of stereotyped writing: stereotyped writing can harm the country, unless it destroys itself, and the harm lies in making the world incompetent. What can it do if it deprives the world of talents? There are three great evils: "first, ignorance", "second, bad intentions" and "third, wandering hands". Yan Fu advocates running more schools. He once discussed that western countries attach importance to education and appreciated the compulsory education that "people don't study and blame their parents".
