Features: This book challenges the bias in the research model of "The Impact of the West" and emphasizes 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 roles in the development of Liang Qichao's thought. It points out that the "new citizens" shaped by Liang Qichao are more representative of modern China than the "new youth" of the May Fourth Movement. This book is undoubtedly another significant work on the study of Liang Qichao's thought by foreign scholars following Li Wen.
