Research Abstract |
This research focuses on the relationship between Liang Qichao, a reformer and journalist of the late Qing China, and the Meiji Japan. It traces the process in which Liang Qichao constructed the thought of “new people” after he came to Japan, by examining his view of life and death, religion, Mozi and ancient Chinese culture, as well as his relationship with other intellectuals such as Zhang Taiyan. In addition, it pays special attention to the people around Liang Qichao who actively participated in hisreform activities, including Kang Mengqing-Kang Youwei’s cousin, and HeShuling - Liang’s fellow reformer. My research discovered many newmaterials and facts on these figures. As a whole, this project not only demonstrates on a solid ground the specific activities of Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao during and after the Hundred Days’ Reform, but also reveals at a deeper level the significance of the relationship and cultural exchange between Japan and China in the modern period.
