Chapter 149 Worry about the country

In 1873, Liang Qichao was born in Chakeng Village, Xiongzi Township, Xinhui County, Guangdong Province.When he was a child, his grandfather who loved his grandson often told Liang Qichao some historical allusions.Among the stories told by his grandfather about heroes, loyal ministers, men of lofty ideals, and philosophers, Liang Qichao was particularly impressed by Lu Xiufu's tragic act of jumping into the sea on the cliff to die for his country, carrying the young emperor Zhao Bing on his back.Yashan is located in the south of Xinhui County, not far from Chakeng Village. Liang Qichao went to the Sanzhong Shrine many times to pay his respects, and the two lines of the poem "the sea has its own gates, and the mountains and rivers have no boundaries". engraved in his heart.

When Liang Qichao read Lu Fangweng's collection, he wrote such a poem: "To live up to the one hundred thousand soldiers in the chest, to be bored with poetry. Whoever pities the country and tears a thousand lines, when it comes to Hu Chen, he is not fair." Liang Qichao named his study "Ice Drinking Room". The minister, when he was in court, accepted the important task entrusted by the emperor. It was related to the safety of the country, and he was extremely anxious. When he returned home, he drank ice water to relieve his irritability.Liang Qichao took this as the name of his fast and used "Yin Bingzi" as his pen name to express his concern for the country and the people.

The Reform Movement of 1898 failed and Liang Qichao fled to Japan. Standing on a Japanese warship, he wrote the majestic poem "Going to the Country": "Wow! The ancients can't see the past, and the mountains are high and the water is deep. Floating like a canopy, let out a long roar to see the space. The Pengshan mountain on the way ahead is ten thousand heavy, turn around and ignore me." After the road protection movement happened, Liang Qichao was very worried and indignant. He wrote an article in the newspapers and denounced the Qing government as "a government that harmed the country and the people" and "a government of evil spirits".

Liang Qichao once wrote a biography for Li Hongzhang. When talking about the Sino-Japanese War, Liang wrote: "At that time, none of the governors in the country sent a single soldier for Li Hongzhang, even Liu Kunyi, a famous general of the Hunan Army. They all covered their mouths, shouting patriotism, while watching Li fight alone. When Li was at a disadvantage in the battle, the ministers all went to participate in the performance..." Once, when Liang Qichao was watching a drama at Southeast University, he said to Huang Boyi with emotion: "The red race people in Latin America suffered worse than the black people. According to statistics, when the Americans immigrated, there were tens of millions of red race natives. It is now less than one million. According to ethnologist research, the ancestors of the red race moved from Australia to the American continent via the Antarctic Circle 6,000 years ago. It is conceivable that they already had a very high culture at that time. Take Greece, Rome For example, China is the largest remaining ancient country in the world, but when will it become prosperous? We may not see it in this generation."

Liang Qichao advocated the transformation of China's "national character", and he would not change it until his death.Liang Qichao was admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for treatment due to illness. The doctor diagnosed him as kidney disease and required surgery to remove one kidney.After the operation, Liang's illness still persisted. It turned out that the good kidney was removed in the operation.For a while, "the public was outraged, criticized by the public, and the society expressed dissatisfaction with Union Hospital and its attending doctors." However, Liang Qichao was worried that this matter would affect the development of Western medicine in China, so he even wrote an article on his sickbed to defend Union Hospital and doctors.Friends persuaded Liang to sue the doctor. Liang replied: "Chinese people learn Western medicine and can operate. It is not bad for me to live to this day. Why should I sue him!" Finally, Liang Qichao announced that his brain would be removed after his death. Donate to Union Hospital.

Liang Qixun, brother of Liang Qichao, mentioned in "Hospital Notes" that the assistant to the attending doctor during the operation was a famous American surgeon. Immediately return to the United States, the opportunity for your family is good."But in the end it was Liu Ruiheng, a Chinese doctor, who performed the surgery for Liang Qichao.Liang Qixun speculated: "The reason why Liu was overstepped and moved was because of brother Ren's request. The reason why brother Ren asked Liu to do it is an international concept. It is said that Yu's illness is cured in the hands of Chinese scholars, and the country's glory is also. For a time Impulsive, so he does not hesitate to try his own way, which is also strange."
