Looking at the door to stop Thinking Zhang Jian, he endured death and waited for Dugan. I smiled at the sky with a horizontal knife and went to leave the liver and gallbladder for two kunluns. —— Tan Sitong
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, western imperialist powers invaded China's territory, and under these circumstances, many people with lofty ideals launched a reform movement of rich countries and strong troops in order to expel imperialist enslavement.
Unfortunately, changing the law is not an easy task, it will damage the interests of some people in power, so it will be obstructed and attacked by many nobles, and those who change the law will be in vain, and the heavy will pay the price of life.
In the Pengshu Transformation Law, Tan Sitong is also the best. However, he had the heart to kill the thief and was powerless to return to heaven. It is worth mentioning that before Tan Sitong died, his wife cried and came to see him off, and also shouted that she would leave offspring for Tan Sitong.
For his wife's words, Tan Sitong also boldly replied to a table, and his answer can be described as a true gentleman. So, what kind of story is there?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > teenager Tan Sitong</h1>
In 1865, Tan Sitong was born in Beijing, his father was the inspector of Hubei, and his mother Xu Shi was also a lady, born in such a superior family, Tan Sitong began to receive a good education from an early age.
However, unlike Confucian students of the same age, Tan Sitong was not a kind of ignorant reader, and he had great opposition to the "Eight Shares of Scholars", and all this was due to the fact that he had a good teacher, Ouyang Zhonghu.
In addition, when he was a teenager, Tan Sitong also liked to travel around and get to know heroes from all over the world, and the "Righteous Hero" Great Sword King V was one of them, and the two had been worshipped as life-and-death best friends.
It can be said that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Tan Sitong was a clear stream in Confucianism, he had the knowledge and mind to relieve the world, and he also had a chivalrous heart, punishing evil and promoting good.
However, this ambition of his was difficult to achieve in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a threat of imperialism abroad, and there were layers of obstruction from feudal ministers and nobles at home, and the formation of "spear and shield" also laid the groundwork for Tan Sitong's future end.
At the age of 18, Tan Sitong ushered in his own marriage, and he married a wife named Li Yan. Although Li Yan was also a girl in the feudal era, her ideas were in stark contrast to the old times and complemented Tan Sitong.
After getting married, Tan Sitong and Li Yan respected each other as guests, and their life after marriage was also very good. Once, the two also had a child, but for some reason the child died before he could grow up.
As the saying goes, filial piety has three queens is greater, in the issue of children, Li Yan has always felt sorry for Tan Sitong, she has repeatedly let him take concubines to continue the tan family's incense, which is also considered to be filial piety.
However, tan Sitong's thinking is different from feudal thought after all, he only loves his wife alone in his life, and he will not take a concubine and have children for the sake of "foolish filial piety", which shows that the two have a deep love for each other.
He must become a bimian and die, only envy the Mandarin Duck and not envy the immortals! Tan Sitong's love with Li Yan can be called a model of new ideas, but such a day did not last long, because the Penghu reform method came.

In 1896, because Tan Sitong had both moral integrity and ability, he went to Jiangsu to serve as an alternate prefect, and he was able to occupy such a high position at a young age, which showed that Tan Sitong's future prospects were unlimited.
However, on the way to Jiangsu, he saw the decay and decay of old China, as well as the suffering of the common people. Thinking about this, Tan Sitong did not want to live in a vacuum, he wanted to change this society and really do something for the world.
At the same time, Tan Sitong was deeply educated by the advanced culture of the West since he was a child, and after many considerations, he believed that China had also reached the point where it was necessary to innovate. As a result, he gave up being an official and embarked on the road of changing the law.
In those years, Tan Sitong had been thinking about the way to a strong country, working hard for China to put up a "backward economy and Western aggression" until he met Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei and others who finally put it into action.
In 1897, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao founded advanced schools and societies such as the Shiwu Academy and the Southern Society, which caused great repercussions in Hunan. At that time, Hunan was also regarded as the most potential province in the country, and its economy and culture developed very rapidly.
This kind of reform of "taking the point and taking the face" soon attracted the attention of the Guangxu Emperor, and Guangxu also wanted to change the law and innovate to revive the glory of the Qing Dynasty. Finally, a year later, the Pentagram Reform Law kicked off.
After the Guangxu Emperor announced the change of the law, Tan Sitong, Kang Youwei and others were summoned to Beijing to discuss the specific matters of the change. Soon after, China's new-style schools mushroomed and advanced private enterprises could be seen everywhere.
At first, Empress Dowager Cixi was also very supportive of this change, and once upon a time, perhaps Empress Dowager Cixi also wanted to change the backward situation in order to get rid of the invasion of Western powers.
Unfortunately, with the deepening of the change of law, Empress Dowager Cixi's vested interests were greatly threatened. In this way, she became the biggest obstacle to reform, and although Guangxu was emperor, the real power was in the hands of Cixi, which also laid the foundation for the failure of the reform.
In September of the same year, just after more than 3 months of the Pengshu reform method, it was strangled in the cradle, and although Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others escaped smoothly, the Guangxu Emperor was imprisoned and Tan Sitong was arrested, and the Penghu reform method was completely ended.

After Tan Sitong was arrested, many people involved with him were afraid to avoid it, but his wife Li Yan was just the opposite, and she met Tan Sitong in prison after layers of obstruction.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention an ancient system in which the family of some prisoners, after being sentenced to death, will let their wives and husbands meet, on the one hand, to reminisce about the past, and on the other hand, to pass on the family reception.
Li Yan has always felt guilty for not being able to give Tan Si a child, and after seeing Tan Sitong, she expressed her inner thoughts: "We don't have children yet, I want to have a child for you."
After hearing his wife's words, Tan Sitong looked at his wife and then comforted: "If our children are born in such an era, they can't see the light and the future, it's better not to be born, and it is nothing more than an effort to be born..."
After hearing such a remark, Li Yan cried, crying very sadly, she cried for not being able to leave offspring to Tan Sitong, and she was also proud to have such a righteous and awe-inspiring husband.
In September 1898, Tan Sitong bravely fought outside Xuanwu Gate at the age of 33. Before dying, he said loudly: "I have the intention to kill the thief, and I am powerless to return to heaven." Die where you want, hurry up! ”
There is a saying in our country that some people die, but they are alive, and this is the case with Tan Sitong. During the period of hunan innovation, the Changsha Academy he founded cultivated many outstanding talents.
Looking back at China's modern history, there are many outstanding talents in Hunan, and Changsha is even more elite. It is said that Tan Sitong had a student named Yang Changji, who had participated in the change of law with his teacher.
However, after the failure of the reform, he returned home to start a school and teach and educate people. In his later teaching career, he trained two students, Yang Kaihui and Chairman Mao, and left a strong mark in the history of China's development.
