He not only expounded the necessity, importance and urgency of political reform, but also translated the evolution theory of British biologist Huxley, and took "natural selection, survival of the fittest" and "the times must move forward, and the latecomers are better than today" as the theoretical basis for saving the country and surviving, which had great influence at that time.
