Chapter 36 1. Liang Qichao will never forget the thrilling scene of fleeing five years ago

Long before Yang Du went to Beijing to take the special economic examination, Yang Jun and Dai Yi were admitted to the Hunan government-funded students studying in Japan. Chen Tianhua and Yang Changji, who will be well-known in modern Chinese history in the future, were also in this group of students studying in Japan.As a senior, Yang Du delivered a passionate speech at the farewell banquet, encouraging them to learn new knowledge and seek public welfare for the group, with "New China, Save China" as the highest goal of studying abroad.This time, Wang Kaiyun supported Yang Jun and Dai Yi's going abroad. On the one hand, it was influenced by the general trend of opening up. To broaden his inspiration.What's more, for Dai Yi and Yang Jun, Wang Kaiyun has never placed his expectations on first-rate talents. He thinks that letting them learn some practical skills in the East may be more beneficial to support their families in the troubled times to come.

After Yang Du returned to Shitangpu, he saw the letter sent by his younger brother from Tokyo recently.The letter said that everything was fine for them in Japan, and they all entered the Japanese cram school.Yang Jun also proudly boasted that he was able to have some simple conversations with the Japanese.Upstairs in Xiangqi, Yang Du reported the situation of the two special examinations to his husband. Wang Kaiyun also found it difficult to understand. He comforted the students not to be too depressed, to live at home for a period of time, and wait for the situation to change. On this day, the Xiangtan County Yamen sent someone to deliver an urgent letter to Wang Kai. It turned out that Xia Shoutian had sent him back to Hunan on the errand.He told his husband and close friends that the inside story of the so-called "Liangtou Kangzu" incident had been exposed in the official circles of the capital, and that the censor Hu Sijing had recently published another memorial with harsh words, accusing Yang Du and Niu Jinxing of the late Ming Dynasty of The situation is the same for Juren to betray Li Chuang, and the crime is double the crime. He has fled from Beijing and probably returned to his hometown in Xiangtan.Xia Shoutian urged Yang Du to go to Japan as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late.

Yang Du finished reading the letter, dripping with cold sweat. The imperial court was so absurd that even the experienced old Xiangqi was surprised.He sighed for a long time, and said to Yang Du: "You might as well go to Japan, on the one hand, to avoid the limelight, and on the other hand, to take this opportunity to make more friends. Over the past year, many promising The young people have all gone to the East, and China's hope in the future may lie in these people. If you get to know them more, it will be of great benefit to your career. In addition, Dai Yi and Chongzi will encounter many difficulties when they go abroad for the first time. You go You can also take care of it later.”

Wu Yihe's views are very reasonable, and Yang Du decides to leave Fusang again. After learning about her son's decision, Mrs. Li said sadly: "You go to Dongyang, mother will not stop you, it's just that my uncle is married, and the third son is studying abroad. There is no one around mother, and no one even listens to her words." Yang Du said: "Mother, how about hiring a maid for your old man?" Mrs. Li said: "For a small family in the village, what kind of maid should you hire? Let's wait until you become a high-ranking official in the future!"

Yang Du felt rather embarrassed and said: "Mother, what should I do then? Or, since Dai Yi is not at home anyway, let Shu Ji come back to live!" "Silly son, there's no reason for a married daughter to live in her mother's house forever!" Mrs. Li smiled softly, looked at her son lovingly and said, "You are twenty-eight years old this year, don't you think that you will marry your mother?" Looking for a wife and a grandson?" Hearing what his mother said, Yang Du was speechless for a while.In the few years when he just came back from Guide Town, people who proposed marriage often came to his door, but he declined them all. All he wanted was to come to the bridal chamber for the wedding night after being named on the gold list.Unexpectedly, that year, she was not named on the gold list, but met Jingzhu.Since then, the beautiful Jiangnan girl has deeply entered his heart.Although he left the capital with great melancholy, he always thought in his heart that he and Jingzhu were committed.The small "Hundred-Character Order" by the riverside pavilion, and the unremarkable piece of broken brick in Tanzhe Temple are their century-old keepsakes. Comparable to gold and silver.In the past five years, he abandoned all side thoughts and firmly believed that he and Jingzhu would meet again one day. He could not break his vow and give the most precious emotion in life to another woman.

He never expected that now Jingzhu has grown up on the west mountain, and they have been separated forever in this life, and they have no chance to get married.Now is the time to deal with it sensibly.What the mother said made sense. It was time for a twenty-eight-year-old man to start a family.This time he ran away to escape the misfortune of being arrested, and he did not know when he would be able to return to China, leaving his mother alone at home for many years, which is indeed unfilial for a son.Well, let's just marry a daughter-in-law for my mother!But time is short, where can I find a suitable person?

Mrs. Li said: "Old Mr. Huang Bo of Zhonglupu, you know that she is very good in character and knowledge. You have also met his second daughter. This girl is the same as our uncle Ji, with high vision and ordinary people. I don't like it, and I haven't married at the age of twenty. Two months ago, a matchmaker mentioned you, and she agreed. I said you went to the capital to take the exam, and I will talk about it when you come back. " Yang Du remembered that when he ate spring wine at Huang's family that year, he met the second young lady of Huang's family.Although the girl can't be said to be very beautiful, she is still upright and well-educated.Yang Du thought, he didn't pay much attention to her at that time, it seems that she did pay attention to him, otherwise, why did other people disagree, and Dudu was willing to marry into my Yang family?Yang Du smiled and said to his mother: "She agreed, because she thought that if I went to rush for the exam, I would win a Jinshi or Hanlin and come back. If she knew that I not only failed the exam, but also went abroad as a refugee, she would definitely not agree."

Li Shi thinks about it, it is completely different from two months ago, is the Huang family still willing to form this relationship?After thinking for a long time, she said to her son: "How about this, ask your third uncle to go to Huang's house once to find out his family's tone. If you still agree, you can go abroad after paying homage." Yang Du could only nod his head in agreement. On the third day, the third uncle came back with a bright red face, and excitedly said to his nephew: "You are ready to be the bridegroom! Mr. Huang said that the court is now in a state of insensibility. Whether it is extremely peaceful or not, the time of Qingming will not be too long." After the wedding, Xizi can go abroad with peace of mind, and leave the family affairs to Zhongying. Although Xizi didn't make it to the top of the list, his reputation has spread all over the world, and he will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future. As long as he is rich at that time , just don’t forget the wife of the chaff.”

These few words from the future old father-in-law gave great comfort to Yang Du, who suffered from unexpected setbacks and was depressed.He thought that if there is such a wise father, there must be a virtuous daughter. Although Jingzhu passed away, fortunately someone can replace her. Mr. Huang personally selected an auspicious day for the zodiac.On this day, Shitangpu held a grand and lively wedding ceremony for the bridegroom who had drank foreign water and was about to drink foreign water again in accordance with the ceremony handed down from the ancestors. From this moment, Miss Zhongying of the Huang family, She became the wife of the Yang family.

Half a month later, Yang Du bid farewell to his mother, wife, younger sister and Master Xiangqi, carried a simple bag on his back, and specially wore the ancient Japanese sword given by Ma Fuyi on his waist, and reluctantly left Shitangpu. When Yang Du set foot on the land of Tokyo again, it was only ten months since his last farewell.He did not expect to return to Japan in such a short time.However, in just ten months, the Chinese student community in Japan has undergone tremendous changes. The first is the surge in numbers.Last October, when Yang Du returned to China, there were only about 500 students studying in Japan, but now there are more than 1,200 students.The corrupt political situation in the country has stimulated many young people with aspirations to come to the East to seek the truth of saving the country. This is one of the reasons, and the other reason is the encouragement of the imperial court.In the spring of this year, Zhang Zhidong was ordered by the court to formulate a charter for rewarding overseas study.According to the statute, students returning from studying abroad will be given the background of Bagong, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, etc., depending on the merits of their grades, and will be recruited and awarded official positions.There are also many people who came to Japan driven by this.

Secondly, the patriotic enthusiasm of overseas students is unprecedentedly high.Whether it was the fierce revolutionaries who advocated mass platooning or the moderate royalists who supported Emperor Guangxu, they all gathered and formed associations unscrupulously, talking about their views, and their speeches were full of passion for saving the country and the people. Luli or those who came here to learn a certain professional technology had to get involved, listen to other people's political opinions, and express their own opinions on state affairs.Compared with the domestic dullness, Japan's international student community is like a pot of boiling water.This huge turning point was the anti-Russia movement more than three months ago. Tsarist Russia was a predatory and aggressive empire.As early as the 1750s and 1760s, it began to invade Northeast China.After the mid-nineteenth century, they continued to forcibly occupy China's borders and occupied a large area of ​​China's territory.In the Year of Gengzi, it was one of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.According to the treaty signed by China and Russia in the 28th year of Guangxu to hand over the three eastern provinces, April of the following year was the deadline for the third phase of Tsarist Russia’s withdrawal from Northeast China.But Tsarist Russia not only did not withdraw its troops, but instead increased its troops to invade the south, and suddenly put forward seven demands to the Qing government. In February of this year, Tokyo, Japan's "Jiji Shinpo" published an extra issue, which published a speech by the Tsarist Russian Minister to Japan, saying that "Russia's current policy is to take the three eastern provinces into Russia's territory" and so on. indignation.On April 29, the international student community in Tokyo held a plenary meeting in the Kanda Jinhui Hall, and decided to immediately set up a volunteer team to reject Russia. More than 130 people volunteered to participate immediately, and more than 50 people expressed their willingness to participate in the Tokyo headquarters. work, and twelve schoolgirls signed up for Nursing Matters.These passionate youths resolutely stated: "I vow to use my own life as the fuse of the cannon to arouse the people's iron-blooded integrity." Two days later, the volunteer team was renamed the Student Army and was preparing to return to China and go to the Northeast front. The actions of the foreign students frightened Cai Jun, the ambassador to Japan.He told the imperial court that the foreign students were called to reject Russia, but they were actually revolutionaries.The Qing government colluded with the Japanese authorities and strictly ordered the student army to be disbanded.This incident has greatly stimulated Japanese students studying abroad.Originally, most of the overseas students just wanted to reject Russia, not revolution.Now the imperial court confuses rejection of Russia with revolution, which has awakened many students: there is no way to reject Russia without revolution.Therefore, led by Huang Xing, Chen Tianhua, Qin Lishan, Wu Yue and others, they organized a military and national education association on the basis of the student army. , "Assassination" three forms of fighting against the court.In this way, the political enthusiasm of the students studying in Japan rose to a new height.At the same time, various newspapers and magazines promoting patriotism were born one after another. Yang Du remembered that when he left Tokyo, there were only three or four newspapers in the international student circle, including "National Daily", "Xinmin Congbao" and "Yu Xue Yi Bian" founded by him, Huang Xing and others. A series of publications such as Hubei Student Circle, Mainland China, Zhejiang Tide, Jiangsu, etc., as well as a number of pamphlets written in popular language, such as Chen Tianhua's "Mighty Turn Back", "Warning World Bell", Yang Yulin's "New Hunan", Song Jiaoren's "Strategy to Exterminate Han Seeds", Qin Lishan's "Revolutionary Proverbs", Zhu Deshang's "Chinese Soul", etc., were widely distributed among overseas students and had a great influence. After Yang Jun and Dai Yi arrived in Tokyo, after a short period of Japanese tutoring, they entered Hongwen Academy and Army Academy respectively.Yang Jun worked very hard, and after half a year he was able to speak in Japanese, and he practiced calligraphy and printing in his spare time.His printing skills quickly spread throughout the international student community.Knowing that his brother was coming, he found an apartment for him in Iida Town. The owners of the apartment are an elderly couple.The old man's name is Tanaka Kametaro, and the old lady's name is Kazuko.There is an only son named Tanaka Jundai.Tanaka Jundai's wife is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yokohama, so he lives in Yokohama to assist his father-in-law in business.Tanaka Kametaro loves Sinology very much, especially Chinese calligraphy and seal cutting.He can speak Chinese, and because Zhiyin and Yang Jun knew each other and formed a long-term friendship, he was willing to rent it to this little friend at half the price. Yang Du moved into Kametaro's house, and saw that the two houses were neatly tidied up, and the old couple was kind and friendly. He also saw Chinese calligraphy and paintings hanging in their study room, and many Chinese thread-bound books on the bookshelves.Tanaka Kametaro talked with him sometimes in Japanese and sometimes in Chinese, and Yang Du was happy, as if this was his hometown. In the afternoon, Kametaro Tanaka entertained Yang Du brothers and Dai Yi with traditional Chinese food.After the meal, Yang Du handed over the cloth shoes made by his mother to his younger brother, gave Dai Yi a group photo of Yang Zhuang mother and son, and divided the package of tempeh, perilla, and ginger into two halves, each of whom took half.The two were filled with endless joy as they received gifts from relatives in their homeland.Uncle Sanlang talked all night, from family affairs to state affairs, from China to Japan, and he didn't lie down to sleep until the window turned white. The news of Yang Duzhong's arrival in Japan quickly spread among the international students in Tokyo.When Yang Du was studying at Hongbun College in Japan last year, the foreign students thought he was a diligent and intelligent scholar.Many international students have not learned Japanese in half a year, but Yang Du passed the language barrier in three months, and then gnawed at the original Japanese books all day and all night.He reads everything from history, geography, philosophy, literature, law, and has a photographic memory, which makes his classmates admire him.Apart from studying, everyone didn't see him participate in many political activities, and they all thought he was a nerd who specialized in learning.Unexpectedly, on the eve of graduation, with the courage to dare to be the first in the world, he repeatedly argued with Kano alone, which made this authority in the Japanese education circle speechless.Like a dark horse that rushed out suddenly, it made the international student circle in Tokyo look at it with admiration.However, just when everyone wanted to make friends with him, he suddenly returned to China.Soon, "You Xue Yi Bian" was published, and Yang Du's eloquent preface was published.The article talks about Confucius, Zuo Qiuming, Sima Qian, Kong Shangren, Li Hongzhang, Huang Zunxian from Bacon, Descartes, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Adam Smith, Darwin, Spinoza, from Europe to the United States, from Japan When it comes to China, discuss academics, discuss education, discuss military affairs, discuss industry, discuss financial management, discuss internal affairs, discuss foreign affairs, discuss history, discuss geography, discuss current affairs, discuss news, discuss novels, discuss profound knowledge, insight, discuss The sharpness and deep patriotism are rare in articles written by foreign students.Only then did everyone realize that Yang Du, who looks like a nerd, is a rare talent. He seems to contain all the knowledge of ancient and modern China and foreign countries in his chest.People in Hongwen College are proud to be his alumni, while people in other schools feel sorry for not knowing him.The opening of the special economic department by the imperial court has attracted the attention of Japanese students studying abroad, and some of the candidates have returned to Japan. When the news of Yang Du's first-class and second-class high school came to Tokyo, everyone was amazed. Soon, "Liang Tou Kangzu "The news also came in, and everyone saw the despicableness of the court even more.Now, Yang Du took refuge and came to Tokyo again, who among the foreign students living in a foreign country would not want to meet him?In just a few days, there was an endless stream of people coming and going at Tanaka’s apartment in Iida Town. Many of them met for the first time.Yang Du is generous, bold and unrestrained, enthusiastic and frank, and makes a good impression on people who meet him for the first time. Two old friends, Huang Xing and Liu Kuiyi, also came.Also brought a Cantonese Hu Hanmin.Seeing that this man is very talented, Yang Du was very happy to make friends with him.The four chatted together for a long time.Huang Xing continued his studies at Hongwen College. Liu Kui changed several schools after arriving in Tokyo, and later entered Hongwen College, where he was in the same class as Hu Hanmin.They suggested that Yang Du should enter Hongwen Academy again.Yang Du hadn't made up his mind about what to study in Japan. He thought about the familiar situation of Hongwen College, so it would be good to name him there, so he agreed. Most of the foreign students are very casual about studying, and the school is not strict. After Yang Du got his name in Hongwen College, he greedily read various newspapers and magazines published in the past few months at his apartment in Iida Town. In October, Liang Qichao returned to Yokohama from his trip to America.It has been five years since Liang Qichao fled to Japan during the 1898 coup.Those thrilling scenes of fleeing back then were deeply engraved in his mind, and whenever he closed his eyes for a short rest, those scenes would appear in front of him unexpectedly. On the sixth day of August, Liang Qichao was talking in Tan Sitong's room.At that time, Liang lived in the Xinhuiyi Hall on Liuli Street in Fenfang, and Tan lived in the Liuyang Guild Hall in the half-hutong.The two places are very close.They met almost every day, talking about the New Deal, talking about knowledge, and when encountering disagreements, the two would expound their views loudly and violently, often making their faces red, but they never had any grudges against each other.There were no quarrels in the conversation that day. The various evils of the recent political situation made them deeply worried about the future of the reform.While talking, Tan Sitong's servant broke into the door in a panic, and said hurriedly: "Third son, something is wrong! People outside are saying that the emperor has been arrested by the queen mother, and the Nanhai Guild Hall has been raided. Fortunately, Kang Mister has gone to Shanghai, otherwise he will be arrested and beheaded!" Upon hearing this, Tan and Liang knew that the Empress Dowager Xi had made the first move, and the New Deal had completely failed.Liang Qichao got up quickly and said: "Fusheng, the matter is extremely critical. I have acquaintance with Lin Quanzhu, acting minister of the Japanese embassy. Let's go to the Japanese embassy as soon as possible and ask for their protection." Tan Sitong's complexion did not change, he still sat still. "Let's go, if you copy the Nanhai Guild Hall, you will immediately copy the Liuyang Guild Hall, and you won't be able to escape if you are late." Liang Qichao urged Tan Sitong's hand. Tan Sitong seemed to have expected it, and said slowly: "I have always wanted to save the emperor, but it seems that the emperor is beyond salvation. Now I want to save Mr. Nanhai, but there is no way to save him. I am living in this world, and I have nothing to do. , only to die." Liang Qichao said anxiously: "There's no reason to wait for death! If you stay here, you will have a successful day. Let's go, come back to life!" Tan Sitong still said calmly: "What you said is reasonable. For the affairs of the world, you should have the determination to do what you know can't be done. But I have already made a plan. I am willing to die for the emperor and the country. There has never been bloodshed in China's reforms." Those who have it, please start with your heirs!" Liang Qichao was deeply moved by Tan Sitong's spirit of sacrifice to die for the country. He held his friend's hand tightly and said, "In this case, let me bleed with you!" "No!" Tan Sitong resolutely objected, "You go to the Japanese legation immediately. Iteng Bowen is visiting Beijing these days. He is a great hero and has always supported our cause. Please ask him to call the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, hurry up Save Mr. Nanhai!" Liang Qichao agreed, and left the Liuyang Guild Hall to the Japanese Embassy in Dongjiaomin Lane.It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Acting Minister Lin Quanzhu was chatting with the former Prime Minister Itten Bowen, who was visiting China, after dinner.Lin Quanzhu learned that there was a young Chinese visiting in a hurry, so he went out to meet him.After meeting, I realized it was Liang Qichao.Seeing Liang's pale and tragic expression, he knew something important was going on, so he hurriedly led him into a room at the back.Liang Qichao said straight to the point: "Please give me a piece of paper!" Minister Lin took out a piece of paper and handed him a fountain pen.Liang Qichao took the pen and paper, and scribbled down: The servant must go to the market within three days, Cao will die, and I have two entrustments. If the king still misses the country of brothers and does not forget the old friendship, let him say a word. Minister Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, what happened, so serious? Don't write, just speak. I can talk to you in Chinese." In a panic, Liang Qichao forgot for a moment that Minister Lin was a hand at China.He slapped his forehead and said, "I'm confused!" Mr. Lin came over with a glass of boiled water in a glass cup. Liang Qichao drank two big gulps and said, "Mr. Minister, there has been a big change in China. The queen mother imprisoned the emperor and arrested the officials of the New Deal. I will be arrested immediately, within three days at the latest. I will be decapitated. My life has long been dedicated to my country, and I don’t hesitate to beheaded. Now I just ask you to come forward to rescue the emperor and protect the emperor’s dragon body from harm. Mr. Kang Youwei is currently in Shanghai, please call Your country’s consulate in Shanghai is trying to rescue Mr. Kang. These two things are what I want, and I implore you to help.” Minister Lin didn't know that such a major event happened in China, and he was surprised and said decisively: "Yes. Mr. Liang, I am determined to undertake the two things you mentioned. But why are you going to die? You think about it carefully. Think about it, if you change your mind, you can come to me anytime, and I will definitely save you!" After hearing these words, Liang Qichao quietly shed two tears of gratitude, and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Ittenbowen, please convey this message to me on my behalf." "The former Prime Minister Iten is in the living room, go and meet him!" Seeing Minister Lin's resolute answer, Liang Qichao felt that there was no need to talk to Iten again, not to mention that he still had many things to take care of immediately, so he said, "I won't go, I have to go back to my apartment quickly." After all, he hurriedly left the Japanese embassy.Liang Qichao returned to his apartment, quickly burned several bundles of correspondence, and all manuscripts and miscellaneous notes, and then hurriedly sorted out books and daily clothes. When it was dark, he picked up a suitcase and went out, and came to the Japanese embassy again. .There was a mess in front of the embassy, ​​taking advantage of the chaos, he quickly ran in.Minister Lin placed him in a small house, and then went to discuss with Iteng Bowen.Iten said: "Liang Qichao, a young man, is the precious soul of China. Rescuing him is a good deed. You come forward to find a way to let him escape to Japan. After arriving in Japan, I will help him." The next day, Tan Sitong meditated in Liuyang Guild Hall for a whole day.He imitated his father's handwriting and forged several letters from his father.The letter scolded him for not doing the New Deal, and declared that he would sever the father-son relationship with him.Tan Sitong knew that his father must be implicated in his affairs, and as the governor, the old father could use this to reduce his responsibility.In the evening, no one came to arrest him, so he put his manuscripts of poems and essays and a stack of family letters into a small wooden box, and brought the small wooden box to the Japanese embassy to meet Liang Qichao.Liang Qichao took care of it for him.Liang Qichao asked him to stay in the embassy instead of going to the guild hall.Tan Sitong resolutely declined again, saying: "If there are no walkers, there is no way to plan for the future; if there are no dead, there is no way to repay the Holy Lord. Mr. Nanhai's life and death are still uncertain. Cheng Ying, Chujiu, Yuezhao, and Xixiang, I will share the responsibility with you." Of." After all, the two hug each other and say goodbye. At this time, Zheng Yongchang, the consul of the Japanese Consulate in Tianjin, happened to be in the embassy. Lin Quanzhu discussed with Zheng Yongchang an escape route and a way to connect. The next day, Zheng and Liang disguised themselves as going out to hunt, carrying two double-barreled shotguns, and the embassy car took them to Qianmen Railway Station.After the two got into the car, Lin hung up the phone again.They got off at Tianjin Station.As soon as he appeared on the platform, Liang Qichao was recognized by someone.The man immediately told the patrol personnel at Tianjin Station, and the patrol personnel immediately followed them.When he found out that someone was following him, Zheng Jizhong was wise and led Liang to jump into a sailboat on the bank of the Shanghai River.It was already twelve o'clock at night.Zheng took out ten silver dollars to the boat owner and asked him to sail to Tanggu as soon as possible.Not long after the sailboat set out, the patrolmen caught up in a small steamboat.At that time, a Japanese warship was moored in the upstream direction of Tanggu, and a Japanese merchant ship was moored in the downstream direction. The patrolmen thought that they would flee to the merchant ship, so they waited beside the merchant ship.At this moment, the sailboat sailed to the side of the warship. According to the pre-arranged signal, Consul Zheng was holding a white handkerchief, and the captain picked them up on the warship and set sail immediately.In this way, Liang Qichao escaped to Japan by chance.Soon Kang Youwei escaped from the tiger's mouth with the help of Britain and also came to Japan.Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei settled down in Japan under the care of Itou Hirobumi and Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma.Liang took a Japanese name for himself: Yoshida Shin.Kang also took a Japanese name: Xia Musen. Later, when Liang Qichao learned the sad news that the six gentlemen had been killed at Caishikou, he was filled with grief and indignation. Especially Tan Sitong was able to escape but not escape, and he was willing to shed his own blood to awaken the noble spirit of dedication of the people, which made him admire and sigh.In order to commemorate Tan Sitong and the vigorous New Deal they jointly established for the benefit of the country and the people, Liang Qichao wrote the famous "Biography of Tan Sitong" with tears in his eyes and published it in "Qing Yi Bao" sponsored by him.After the newspaper spread to China, it aroused great repercussions from the public opinion circles. In the past five years, apart from establishing royalist organizations in Japan, Honolulu, Singapore, Australia and other places under the order of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao devoted most of his energy to running newspapers to arouse the people and advocate freedom, progress, democracy, A series of new ideas such as civil rights and constitutionalism.He first ran "Qing Yi Bao" in Tokyo, then went to Yokohama to run "Xin Min Cong Bao" and "New Fiction News".The "Xinmin Congbao" sponsored by him is popular at home and abroad, and it is the most popular propaganda among all newspapers and magazines among the Chinese people, especially the educated youth.Huang Zunxian, who was at home at home, wrote to Liang Qichao, saying that "Qing Yi Bao" was far better than "Current Affairs News", and "Xin Min Cong Bao" was far better than "Qing Yi Bao". The articles in "Xinmin Congbao" are thrilling, and every single word is worth a lot of money. They are not in everyone's writing, but they are in everyone's mind.From ancient times to the present, the power of words has never been greater than this. Liang Qichao was knowledgeable and energetic. In addition to running newspapers and writing political articles, he also wrote many academic works.Various schools of thought and outstanding figures in ancient and modern China and abroad are all within the scope of his research.Liang Qichao became an idol in the hearts of Japanese students studying abroad. Everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to associate with him.For a period of time, Sun Yat-sen and Liang Qichao were very close.Liang expressed his approval of Sun's revolutionary ideas, and even intentionally merged the two factions into one, with Sun as the chairman and Liang himself as the vice-chairman, but it was not realized because of Kang Youwei's firm opposition.It was from then on that the ideological differences between Kang and Liang became wider and wider. When Liang Qichao returned to Yokohama and learned that Yang Du had arrived in Tokyo, he wrote a letter.The letter said: I haven't seen each other for five years, and I often miss it. Knowing that I have arrived in Japan, I am very relieved.I wanted to come to Tokyo to have a drink and chat, but I had to go out for a long time, and the newspaper office had a lot of business, so I couldn't get away for a while.In a few days it will be the Meiji Festival, and I specially invite my brother, Uncle Lang, to come to Yokohama for the festival to comfort Yunshu's thoughts.Liang Qichao didn't know where Yang Du lived, so he sent the letter to Wang Zhao who lived in Tokyo and asked him to forward it to Yang Du.
