Lo Jung-pang (1912-81) was a renowned professor of Chinese history at the University of California at Davis. Lo was born on September 28, 1912, and was educated at schools in Singapore, Ottawa, and London. He took his doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1957. During the Pacific War he served in the Office of War Information in San Francisco. He also taught for a year in the Army Specialized Training Program on the Berkeley campus. Later he was an editor for the Chinese News Service in San Francisco and served in the press section of the Chinese delegation to the United Nations Conference on International Organizations in 1945. In 1965, he came to the Davis campus as visiting lecturer. He was appointed Associate Professor in 1966 and Professor in 1969. There are few scholars in the field of Chinese history who can boast a wider range of interests, either chronologically or topically, than Professor Lo's. His contributions to our understanding of the ancient Ch'in-Han period in the fields of warfare and transportation are of inestimable value. This work required a mind steeped in the language and culture of ancient China and also the creative acuity capable of wringing from the texts every ounce of hard data they contain. Kang Youwei (19 March 1858-31 March 1927) was a prominent political thinker and reformer in China of the late Qing dynasty. His increasing closeness to and influence over the young Guangxu Emperor sparked conflict between the emperor and his adoptive mother, the regent Empress Dowager Cixi. His ideas were influential in the abortive Hundred Days' Reform. Following the coup by Cixi that ended the reform, Kang was forced to flee. He continued to advocate for a Chinese constitutional monarchy after the founding of the Republic of China. In 1879, Kang traveled to Hong Kong and he was shocked by the prosperity there, which started his interest in Western culture and thoughts. In 1882, Kang went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. When he was returning home, he bought many Western books and started developing his ideology based on these writings. In 1883, Kang founded the Anti-Footbinding Society near Canton. Kang Youwei launched the Society for the Study of National Strengthening (Qiangxue hui) in Beijing. It is the first political group established by reformists in China. Through it, Kang became acquainted with Governor-General Zhang Zhidong and received his financial support to inaugurate the Paper of the Society for the Study of the National Strengthening (Qiangxue bao) in January 1896. In the same month, the society was dissolved and the paper had to cease publication. Kang was a strong believer in constitutional monarchy and wanted to remodel the country after Meiji Japan. In 1895, China was defeated by Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. To protest against Treaty of Shimonoseki, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and over 600 civil examination candidates signed a petition to the Guangxu Emperor, known to history as Gongche Shangshu movement. This movement is taken as the sign of the appearance of reformists and the start of Chinese mass political movements. Kang and his noted student, Liang Qichao, were important participants in a campaign to modernize China now known as the Hundred Days' Reform. The reforms introduced radical change into the Chinese government. Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup that put an end to the reforms, put the Guangxu Emperor under house arrest, and ordered Kang's arrest and execution on the basis that he had tried to have her assassinated. Kang fled the country but also organized the...
