The rise of the Reform was because the powerless emperor hoped to gain power through reform, and the Reformers hoped to realize the ideal of a strong country through the Reform. The fundamental reason was that China itself was backward and needed to change the status quo. The incentive was the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War in China. Failure!
The reason for the failure of the Hundred Days Reform is 1. The naivety of the reformists, who put their hope for reform in an emperor who had no real power! 2. The purpose of the reform emperor was just to maintain his own rule. There was no support from the conservative forces with the largest real power! 3 The great powers at that time did not want China to achieve self-improvement through the reform! 4 China at that time was really suffering from serious diseases. Simple reform could no longer change China's current situation. It could only break everything and rebuild!
