Hundred Days Reform
Hundred Days Reform (1898) Chinese reform campaign. Inspired by
KANG YOUWEI, and supported by Liang Qichao (1873–1921), it attempted to reform the
QING state. Kang utilized official disenchantment with the measures of the
SELF-STRENGTHENING MOVEMENT and concern at renewed foreign intrusions in the wake of the
SINO-JAPANESE WAR of 1894–95 to have extensive reforms, based on Western thinking, adopted by Emperor Guangxu. These included a constitutional monarchy and modernization of the civil service. After a period of 103 days the reform programme was destroyed by a conservative backlash, the empress dowager
CIXI launching a palace coup in which the emperor was imprisoned, the reforms rescinded, and the reformers themselves exiled, dismissed, or put to death. Many of these reforms were finally implemented between the
RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR of 1904–05 and the Revolution of 1911.
