Young Cai Yuanpei can be described as a master of career, debut is the peak. In 1889, at the age of 22, Xiao Cai was raised to high school and began his own path as an official. Then he ran wildly with sparks and lightning: a year later he became a gongshi, two years later he entered high school, and then he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. For readers whose concept is relatively vague, they can understand it like this: 27-year-old Xiao Cai has already worked as a secretary in the General Office of the Central Committee!
The palatial Forbidden City was also Cai Yuanpei's original dream
Entering the central core institution at a young age, according to this momentum, Xiao Cai should be smooth sailing and have a bright future. However, in this year, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, which also completely changed the fate of the young Cai Yuanpei. Because this time it was not the foreigners' strong ships and cannons that defeated us, but the little Wokou who had never been seen squarely by the Heavenly Dynasty. The Foreign Affairs Movement lasted for decades, and finally ended with the total annihilation of the Beiyang Navy, a battle that completely destroyed Chinese's remaining self-esteem and also broke Cai Yuanpei's last trust in the Qing Dynasty. So the 27-year-old senior Qing government official, leaving behind a body of glory and wealth, resolutely embarked on the road of anti-Qing.

How to oppose the Qing, Cai Yuanpei said: "There are only two pictures of revolution, one is riot, and the other is assassination. "But revolutionary uprisings are costly, and assassination is the most economical means by comparison. In 1904, Cai Yuanpei came to Shanghai, gathered people and horses, raised funds, and set up his own assassination organization here, the "GuangfuHui"

Cai Yuanpei was an ideal assassin, and in line with the idea of capturing the thief before capturing the king, he aimed at the first target of his assassin career, Cixi. At that time, Cixi was already old, and she had already lived in the palace and no longer went out, so she did not find the opportunity to assassinate for a long time. Later, he plotted to assassinate high-ranking officials, and in 1905, Wu Fan assassinated the five ministers who inspected the constitutional government, and the whole country was shaken, using a bomb prepared by Cai Yuanpei himself.

At the beginning, Cai Yuanpei was keen on developing poisons. Poison is easy to carry, killing invisible, for this reason, Cai Yuanpei taught himself chemical knowledge, due to the bonus of the attribute of the bully, it was soon successfully developed. In order to dispel the wariness of the assassination target and get closer to the Qing officials, Cai Yuanpei set his sights on women, and because of his extraordinary personality charm, he soon attracted some progressive female students to join the assassination group. However, even female students could not get close to the Qing Dynasty officials, and the assassination plan was delayed. Later, Cai Yuanpei thought: Assassination can only eliminate the target, but cannot play a major social repercussion. In order to create a big move and make a big news, Cai Yuanpei turned to Plan B - making bombs!

It was at this time that Chen Duxiu Chen and Cai Yuanpei came together. Chen Duxiu said in "Speech after the Death of Mr. Cai Xiaomin": "The first time I worked with Mr. Cai was in the last year of the Guangxu Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, when Yang Yulin, He Haiqiao, Zhang Shizhao, etc., launched an organization in Shanghai to study explosives in an attempt to assassinate. ”
And Chen Duxiu delved into the bomb
In order to develop qualified explosives, Cai Yuanpei once again exerted his academic hegemonic attributes. He secretly rented a house near the girls' school and began to develop explosives with Chen Duxiu all night. This trick really got the explosives out, but the quality of the home-made bombs built behind closed doors can be imagined, and in 1905, the explosives were detonated in advance, and the assassination of the five ministers failed. After this incident, Cai Yuanpei also completely understood that the assassination cause was ultimately just scratching the itch of the boots, and it was difficult to shake the foundation of the decay of the Qing Dynasty. How to save a decaying China has become a problem that Cai Yuanpei needs to rethink. This year, Cai Yuanpei was 40 years old, and the revolution for more than ten years was burned, and the blow to Cai Yuanpei was indispensable. Affected by this, in 1907, Cai Yuanpei studied in Germany and began a four-year overseas study life. After returning from school, Cai Yuanpei also found a new way to save the country - "education to rejuvenate the country"
"The First Educator in China"

In 1912, the Provisional Government of the Republic of China was established, and Cai Yuanpei served as the Director of Education. In 1916, Li Yuanhong restored the Provisional Covenant Law of the early years of the Republic of China, and Cai Yuanpei accepted the invitation and was appointed president of Peking University. A new style of study of "freedom of thought and inclusiveness" has been launched, which has provided strong support for the development of the New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement.
From enthusiastic youth to educating everyone, from assassination revolution to educating and saving the country. Cai Yuanpei is always changing, but it seems that it has never changed. In any case, the original intention of saving the country and saving the people accompanied him throughout his life, and Li Du of Southern Chen and Northern Li was once Cai Yuanpei's staunch comrade-in-arms.
Zhou Enlai mentioned in "Remembering Mr. Cai Xiaomin": "Peking University and Cai Yuanpei are a term that cannot be erased in the history of the Chinese revolution and the history of China's new cultural movement. ”
"Academic heroes, models for the world" This is the best evaluation given to him by Mao Zedong, a former librarian at Peking University.
