After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Kang Youwei was originally displaced and had to go into exile. Why did he end up so moist?

1898 After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Empress Dowager Cixi and Yuan Shikai imprisoned Emperor Guangxu, and Tan Sitong and other reformists were finally killed. But at this time, some surviving reformers went abroad, and Kang Youwei was one of them. As a fugitive, Kang Youwei's life has not been difficult since he wandered abroad, but it is still very moist. Kang Youwei's wandering life abroad is so nourishing, in fact, mainly because he is too smart to fool many overseas Chinese to help him.

Kang Youwei fled, the first stop was Japan, and he had published an open letter before arriving in Japan. In this open letter, he openly accused Cixi of the most heinous crimes and claimed that he had the "imperial decree" of the emperor. So after arriving in Japan, many reformists and local revolutionaries went to help Kang Youwei.

Later, the Qing government also made some representations with Japan, and the Japanese government was unwilling to accept Kang Youwei again, so Kang Youwei went to Canada. When I first arrived in Canada, no one supported Kang Youwei, but Kang Youwei gave full play to his ability to fool. Kang Youwei will basically deliver some speeches wherever he goes. Through these speeches, Kang Youwei can get the support of many overseas Chinese.

Seeing that more and more China people supported him, Kang Youwei later established the Reform Society, and all members of this Reform Society had to pay some membership fees every year. At its peak, this organization had about 6.5438+million members, so Kang Youwei also made a lot of money with the help of this organization.
