The most emotional and resilient behavior in Liu Guangdi's life deeds is to participate in the Wushu Reform Movement, and if he is not recommended or selected, he is very likely to return to his hometown and live in seclusion in Zhao Hua Ancient Town, Fushun County, Sichuan Province, to teach as a profession, and also to write poetry and books, becoming a cultural promoter of local education.
There have been many studies on why Liu Guangdi was recommended by Chen Baozhen, or Zhang Zhidong, a scholar of language, or Chen Sanli, a poet friend, or Chen Xiju, a poet of Yuxian County. Recently, it was found that the "Collection of Chen Baozhen" contains the "Folding of the Members of the Outer Talents of the Secret Baojing" and the "List of the Members of the Outer Talents of the Secret Baojing", which are the original materials involving Liu Guangdi's summons to the Guangxu Emperor. Chen Baozhen commented that Liu Guangdi was "far-sighted and honest and promising", which was more in line with Liu Guangdi's characteristics of doing human things and learning, and listed him in the fifth place in the "secret protection list".
At the same time, more than ten people recommended had different experiences and characteristics, some eunuchs were rich, their political achievements were outstanding, and there was no shortage of official eunuch families, but in the end, Liu Guangdi was selected, which should be related to his response performance when he was summoned, which also showed that Liu Guangdi's personal endowment was indeed excellent, so that his potential could be brought into play. It can be seen that if the opportunity comes, only those who see can do it.
In addition, Zhou Shanpei's "The Old Rain and Hong Claws Remember Guangdi" (published in "Sichuan Literature and History Materials Collection• Volume I Political and Military Compilation", Sichuan People's Publishing House, 1986), mentions that he and Liu Guangdi have met liu Guangdi about ten times and feel that Liu Guangdi has a "special atmosphere". His teacher Zhao Xi also had a relationship with Liu Guangdi during his stay in Beijing, and both of them respected Mr. Guangdi. The text also mentions that Liu Guangdi was summoned by the Guangxu Emperor to give Si Pin Qing, but he did not know who recommended it, and after inquiring from all sides, he learned that it was related to Chen Sanli. This is a record of the times, which is more credible, and can support Chen Baozhen's examination language, and the full text of the special appendix is added later, as a supplementary reference for Liu Guangdi's research on historical materials.

Miho Kyo Wai Xian can fold each member
(Guangxu 24, June 18)
The head pint wore Hunan Inspector Chen Baozhen on his knees, and for the secret security to know the members of the Beijing Foreign Talents, he respectfully folded and prayed for the holy scriptures:
The thief obeyed the edict and ordered the governors of the provinces to protect the members of the prefectures and counties to which they belonged, and to fold Chen Shengjian separately. However, when the country strives to revitalize the meeting, the government is new, and the needs are particularly large. Whoever is a courtier, who has a heavenly conscience, who has the superior strengths of his people, is well known in ordinary days, and is not limited to the square domain, and is guilty of having a subordinate lord, and the subordinate lord is guilty of stealing the throne. It is to be ignorant and not to be presumptuous, and to select the members of the subjects' eyes and ears and those outside the capital, whose names and positions are not obvious, but who are worthy of merit, who are known and believed by the subjects, and who have a total of seventeen members. Although he knows that his knowledge is inferior and his knowledge is not thorough, he will inevitably be ridiculed and misplaced, but if he does not respect his own private and vulgar reputation with the friendship of the people and the king, he can almost question the shadows and be ashamed.
All the secret security guards know the reasons for the foreign talents, and hereby enclose a list of them, and dedicate themselves to folding chen and begging the Emperor's Holy Book. Sincerely.
