Reflections after watching the drama between Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei

It was late at night when I got home. I'm afraid I'll forget everything if I don't remember something. I have always been interested in Kang Youwei because his name is very similar to mine. hehe.

This is the first time I have watched a stage production about "Kang Liang", and it really made me see what I wanted to know and see. For me, Kang and Liang turned against each other, which is really a pity based on the historical content I understand. However, differences in political opinions do not mean that the friendship between master and disciple does not exist. The final answer is...no one hates anyone. Although the ending is Kang Youwei's funeral, it also symbolizes the beginning of a new era and the reconciliation of a grudge.

Let’s talk about the content. From the beginning, Liang Qichao appeared as an aggressive, arrogant and passionate young man. Every sentence was sarcastic and sarcastic, making people hiccup. But in the end, he was inspired by the words of Kang Youwei, who had advanced ideas, and joined the "Kang Party". From here we can easily see that Liang Qichao is not a person who studies hard. He has a strong ability to absorb and is also very talented. The most important thing is that he is a good comrade who knows right from wrong, recognizes good and bad, and corrects his mistakes when he knows them. . Of course, we must give good comrades a chance to turn over a new leaf. Don’t laugh, for a person who is familiar with Eight-legged Essays, accepting this kind of knowledge that subverts feudal values ??is tantamount to completely reborn. Liang Qichao is a person who can let go. Finally, Liang Qichao knelt down on one knee to become his disciple, and Kang Youwei opened his arms to accept him. I reached out in my heart and shouted with joy: "Together~Together~"

The second scene is about Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao In an attempt to reform the movement, many people gathered together to write a petition. When everyone unfolded the scroll in their hands, they couldn't help but think of the situation when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo during the Later Han Dynasty. Anyone who knows history knows that the political power at this time was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi. The emperor is an empty frame. Just like Emperor Xian of Han who was held hostage by Dong Zhuo. History is always surprisingly similar. Some will object. The petition was written to reform policies. The crusade against Dong Zhuo was to help the Han Dynasty. In fact, they are very similar. After all, they are all challenges to those in power. Whether it is Cixi or Dong Zhuo, they will naturally not sit idly by if their rights and interests are violated. In other words, if there was no Empress Dowager Cixi but the emperor was in control of the government, he might not agree to the reforms. After all, the first emperor of a constitutional monarchy was guillotined.

Then? Then the Empress Dowager Cixi got angry! (Nonsense) Ordered to hunt down the "Kangliang rebels". Tan Sitong did not leave. He claimed that revolution requires bloodshed. Here I found several small characteristics of him:

First, Tan Sitong knew martial arts, and he was very good at it. He has a relationship with Da Dao Wang Wu, one of the "Ten Tigers of Guangdong". Looking back at history, it is not difficult to get a group of like-minded people to rob a law field.

Second, Tan Sitong understood Buddhism, and his death saved the entire "society." This is an important factor that distinguishes him from traditional passionate youths. This is a matter of realm, not the idea of ??"I am handsome and I will go down in history."

Thirdly, Tan Sitong on the stage finally said "Go and leave the liver and gallbladder in Kunlun", which was the last poem he wrote in "Prison Wall" in history. I looked at the door and stopped thinking about Zhang Jian, and waited for Du Gen for a moment. I am smiling towards the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact. I looked at the explanation of the last sentence on the Internet: I left, leaving behind my two brothers (Kang Youwei and Da Dao Wang Wu) who were inseparable.

Pfft~ I’ll laugh for a while.

If I am not mistaken, this sentence is either majestic and rhyming, and can only be understood but not expressed in words. Or, Tan Sitong compared himself to a man who excelled in both civil and military affairs, and who died to awaken the scholars and warriors in the world. (The literati are loyal and the warriors are brave.)

The next scene is the story of Kang Liang's wandering overseas. It feels like the story is connected a bit too quickly here. Liang Qichao had already cut off his braids and was wearing a suit as soon as he came on stage. There was no transition, not only that Kang Youwei couldn't accept it, but Kang Yewei couldn't accept it either. Fortunately, it does not hinder the reasonable development of the plot. The Qing Dynasty fell and Yuan Shikai became president. Kang Youwei was immersed in the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, kowtowing to the Qing Dynasty's memorial tablet to apologize, but on the other hand, Liang Qichao was able to give up the "constitutional monarchy" and accept the new idea of ??"reunion and harmony".

During this period, the political views of Kang and Liang collided. Kang Youwei believed that Liang Qichao was a "fickle person", and Liang Qichao also began to demand changes in Kang Youwei's political views.

After returning to China, Kang and Liang had greater differences in their political thinking. This is what history says. Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the Revolution of 1911 and restored the monarchy. The problem arose. Kang and Liang launched public opinion offensives in newspapers respectively. Kang Youwei was "opposing Yuan Shikai's restoration", while Liang Qichao was "opposing anyone's restoration." From today's perspective, Liang Qichao's views are even more progressive. The differences between the two were published in the newspapers, and those who were interested must have noticed that the former "Kang Liang" seemed to have different opinions.

The next scene was the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo supported by the Japanese. Kang Youwei was "re-employed" and he was extremely happy, but this conflicted fiercely with Liang Qichao's views of "reunion and peace". The two finally got into an unpleasant quarrel. In the end, Liang Qichao threw his chair and shouted: "There is a healthy Liang Dynasty in the world, but there will no longer be a healthy Party." This sentence is very heartless. It seems that Kang Youwei and the audience have forgotten that Liang Qichao was an aggressive, arrogant and passionate young man from the beginning. He hasn't changed over the years. It's just that as a disciple, he cannot lose his etiquette, and now, he once again has to completely break away from his faith in the teacher. This time, it is even more painful.

The last scene is Kang Youwei's funeral. The 37-year master-disciple relationship finally comes to an end. Liang Qichao wanted to see his teacher off for the last time but was rejected. Thinking about this situation makes him feel distressed. Liang Qichao was helpless, but he believed that what he did was worthy of heaven and earth, his teacher and himself, and his heart. P.S. Here is a paragraph. When the dead Six Gentlemen of 1898 walked out side by side, I always thought they would stretch out their hands and end up jumping like zombies.

The dialogue between Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao in the end was actually very important. It was not like what a classmate said, talking so much even though they were dead (bad smile)

Master and disciple are just The differences in beliefs and political opinions are nothing more. They are all for the prosperity of the motherland. They are all good people. The word "hate" cannot be mentioned at all.

Here, the author summarizes. When Kang Youwei was still young, he had advanced ideas and led the trend of the times. Liang Qichao was young and could accept it. However, when Liang Qichao was still young and could still accept new ideas and things, Kang Youwei was already old, and his thoughts and beliefs had been finalized and difficult to change. That's why in his later years, he would rely on his old age to show his age. From time to time, he would comb his hair with a small comb to look cute. After fighting for the "Utopia" in his heart all his life, he was finally able to be "re-employed". This was a perfect ending for Kang Youwei himself.

At the end, Kang Youwei recognized Liang Qichao, "In Liang Qichao's heart, there is a young China." This means the arrival of a new era, a new system, and a new culture. At the same time, it also means that Kang Youwei and others who held old views were eliminated by the successive historical trends. To put it clearly, history no longer needs people like Kang Youwei, so the ending must be death.

Watch the entire play. Lots of feelings. Is it a spirit that is promoted? Is it a feeling? To me, none of this matters. The important thing is that they can finally understand each other and heal the historical regrets in my heart.
