Features: This book challenges the bias in the "Impact of the West" research model by emphasizing the vitality of Chinese cultural traditions in the face of external shocks. Through a detailed study of Liang Qichao's thought during the transitional period from 1890 to 1907, the author examines the mutual influence of Chinese and Western thought in many fields, outlining their role in Liang Qichao's intellectual development. It highlights that the "new citizens" Liang Qichao shaped are more representative of modern China than the "New Youth" of the May Fourth Movement. This book stands as another significant work on Liang Qichao's thought by foreign scholars, following Li Wen.
