Kang Youwei went into exile and bought an island with a huge sum of money, named it "Kang Youwei". What is the current situation?

The island is still there, but the China Garden Beihai Caotang built by Kang Youwei is gone. Now the island seems to have been recovered by Sweden, and now it is a place for vacation and high-end living. Many rich people like to go there to enjoy a quiet life. Kang Youwei is really controversial about him. Everyone has his own opinion. Some people say that Kang Youwei is a patriot, while others say that he is a hypocrite. Most of what we know about Kang Youwei comes from textbooks. In textbooks, Kang Youwei is a hero who dares to change, but he seems to have said nothing about his personality, just indicating what contribution he has made.

Kang Youwei's contribution mainly includes three points: one is to write a letter on the bus, the other is the Reform Movement of 1898, and the third is to publicize constitutional monarchy. The so-called words on the bus were written after the treaty of shimonoseki was signed between the Qing Dynasty and Japan. At that time, the inequality of this treaty was aroused, especially among the soldiers at that time, so everyone wanted to write to the emperor. Because Kang Youwei was famous at that time, everyone let him go. The second time was the reform movement of 1898. At that time, the Qing army was defeated. Kang Youwei and others felt that the old law could no longer save the court at that time. So he advocated change and new laws.

At that time, Kang Youwei and others asked for political reform and constitutional monarchy, and Emperor Guangxu also agreed, but failed because of Cixi and Rong Lu Yuan Shikai. After the failure, Guangxu asked Kang Youwei to run errands abroad, in fact, he was asked to run for his life. When Kang Youwei fled overseas, he just began to publicize the disharmony between Cixi and Guangxu, and explained that the failure of constitutional monarchy was mainly caused by Cixi and others. So he began to save Guangxu and kill Cixi. At that time, many overseas Chinese raised funds. When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, some people in mainland China obeyed Kang Youwei's uprising, but failed. I heard that Kang Youwei used the money he bought for arms to buy real estate.

Kang Youwei finally established a real estate empire overseas, that is, the commercial royalist society. Finally, he began to travel around the world by himself and found a beautiful island in Sweden, so he bought it and named it Kang Youwei. I heard that it cost a lot of money, not a small sum.
