1898, a great event happened in the history of China. Under the leadership of Emperor Guangxu, more than 1,000 people, including Kang Youwei, launched the Reform Movement of 1898, which shocked China and foreign countries. Finally, the reform ended in failure and six gentlemen were killed. Everyone is familiar with the Six Gentlemen of the 1898 Movement. However, like Bian Xiao, everyone must have discovered that there was no Kang Youwei's name in the Six Gentlemen of the Hundred Days Movement. Because after the failure of political reform, Kang Youwei fled to Japan. Many people think that Kang Youwei fled to protect the spark of the revolution. However, Zhang Taiyan, a great writer in Qing Dynasty, pointed out that Kang Youwei was a despicable person and a demon thief. What's going on here?

Zhang Taiyan commented on Kang Youwei: "The country will die for the sake of old age." This sentence means that an old thief like Kang Youwei can't die. From Zhang Taiyan's words, we can see that Zhang Taiyan hated Kang Youwei. Zhang Taiyan hates him so much because Kang Youwei did three things.

First, after fleeing to Japan, Kang Youwei claimed to hold the imperial edict of Emperor Guangxu. He organized a royalist society, advocated enlightened autocracy and opposed revolution. After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, Kang Youwei, as the leader of the royalists, openly opposed the * * * peace system and has been actively planning to restore Puyi. 19 17, Kang Youwei and Zhang Xun launched the restoration and made Puyi emperor.

Second, during his overseas flight, he used the patriotism of overseas Chinese to defraud a large number of donations. The money is not used to revitalize the motherland, but to satisfy one's own selfish desires. He fled 12 years, traveled to more than 40 countries, and used the money he cheated to invest in real estate to enrich himself. Third, Kang Youwei has personal moral problems. He advocated monogamy, but he married many concubines. These concubines are all young girls, and some are even forced out by tough measures. So Zhang Taiyan will call him a shameless villain.
