Why do some people say that Kang Youwei became more and more shameless after he fled to Japan?

Kang Youwei was originally a scholar who only read sage books. In his early years, he wanted to pass the imperial examination and become an official.

in the fifth year of Guangxu, Kang Youwei went abroad to study and began to get in touch with western culture. It is believed that only by learning from the West can China be saved in peril. At this time, he initially formed the idea of reform and political reform.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing court and Japan signed "treaty of shimonoseki", which humiliated the country and made the Chinese people angry. Kang Youwei signed a letter with many students on the bus, requesting a series of national salvation programs such as "refusing peace, training, and reform."

After several letters, Kang Youwei's idea of reform and political reform was appreciated by Emperor Guangxu and implemented.

In the process of political reform, Kang Youwei repeatedly proposed "China-Japan alliance" and suggested that Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito be hired as a reform consultant.

Since Hirofumi Ito was the chief culprit in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Guangxu did not agree. However, this incident became the fuse for Cixi to launch a coup. Under the strong opposition of Manchu civil and military officials, Cixi imprisoned Guangxu with a thunderous wrist and successfully regained power.

At the same time, Cixi ordered the immediate arrest of the reformists headed by Kang Youwei.

Kang Youwei was well informed and fled to Japan with the help of the Japanese government on the day of the coup.

After arriving in Japan, Kang Youwei claimed that he went to Japan to ask for help on the instructions of Emperor Guangxu.

After Kang Youwei's life was in danger, he repeatedly used the "imperial edict" to talk about things, and begged the Japanese government to send troops to help him on the grounds of rescuing Emperor Guangxu and confronting Cixi several times.

The Japanese government did not agree to Kang Youwei's prayer because it was not the right time.

Kang Youwei took the second best, asking only for 5 mercenaries to capture Guangzhou (Kang Youwei's hometown), but he still didn't get permission.

At that time, Sun Wen established the Allied League in Japan, recruiting soldiers everywhere, and planned to overthrow the decadent Qing government. The Japanese government is determined to promote the cooperation between Sun Wen and Kang Youwei, and to overthrow the Qing government. Under the arrangement of the Japanese government, Sun Wen also offered an olive branch to Kang Youwei several times. However, Kang Youwei refused to cooperate because Guangxu was grateful to him.

The Japanese government saw that Kang Youwei had no intention of cooperating with Sun Wen, and the Qing court made representations to Japan several times, asking them to repatriate Kang Youwei. In this case, the Japanese government felt that Kang Youwei had no use value in staying in Japan, so it gave him a sum of money and sent him on his way.

Kang Youwei has been exiled in Canada, the United States and other countries. Wherever he goes, he will make a big speech under the guise of Emperor Guangxu's "imperial edict" and make donations to Chinese people under the slogan "Save the Lord (Emperor Guangxu) and save China". At the same time, he published the theory of saving the nation in newspapers and periodicals, hoping to get the US government to interfere in China's internal affairs. It's a pity that his plot failed.

On his way to exile, Kang Youwei lived quite happily with a large amount of money collected from donations. He used the money to run industries, start companies and buy houses and land everywhere.

In addition, because Kang Youwei has a certain influence among overseas Chinese, he founded the royalist society under the banner of saving the country. Every time he goes to a country, he sets up a number of general meetings and branches, and collects membership fees. The annual membership fee alone is a considerable input, not to mention the funds raised by members.

After the death of Guangxu and Cixi, Kang Youwei, who had lived abroad for a long time, had to return to China after a long absence on the grounds of his mother's death. Yuan Shikai, who was bent on restoration, invited him to Beijing several times as an official to show his support from the people. However, Kang Youwei claimed to be a "subjugated subject" and refused Yuan Shikai's invitation.
