Features: The Wuxu Reform was a reform movement led by the Chinese modern bourgeoisie's moderate faction and a significant political event in the historical process of China moving towards a republic after the First Sino-Japanese War. Following the war, China faced the crisis of imperialist division and the tide of territorial cession. Kang Youwei, as the leader of the reformist faction, nurtured cadres, wrote books, submitted memorials to the throne, advocated for national salvation, organized academies, published newspapers and journals, and continuously promoted the reform movement. The reasons for its failure and the historical lessons it left for later generations are thought-provoking.
