Article Abstract:

Young-tsu Wong's analysis of the works of Huang Zhangjian and Luke Kwong does not mention the differences between the works of the two. Huang and Kwong have different perspectives of Kang's activities and the Hundred Days, and both differ from their source, the narratives of Kang and his follower Liang Quichao. Wong does not enumerate the revisionist biases of the two authors, and limits his study of Kang's life to 1888-98. His limited approach does not clarify the reasons for his revisionist approach. He gives an unreal picture of Kang, undermining the Guangxu Emperor's role in the reform movement.

Article Abstract:

Luke Kwong and Huang Zhangjian are revisionist writers who differ in their views of Kang and the Hundred Days. Huang believes Kang to be a schemer, while Kwong considers Kang to be a passive participant with no significant role in the Hundred Days. Their views differ from popular belief about the role of Kang. The Guangxu Emperor, an important figure in the reform movement, has been given the credit due to him.
