Kang Youwei spent 1.5 million yuan to buy a "Kang Youwei Island" in Sweden. How is the island now?

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the people led by Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and Tan Sitong launched a vigorous national salvation reform movement, but the national salvation movement only lasted 100 days. Tan Sitong was killed, while Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao lived abroad and drifted in various countries.

In other words, Kang Youwei lived abroad and saw many foreign scenery, but none of them attracted him. But when he came to Sweden, he was completely conquered by the scenery here, so he wanted to settle down here. He looked around and finally decided to buy an island in a coastal town. Buy an island? People will think how much money Kang Youwei is greedy, but it is not. At that time, the Qing government was inflated, and the land transfer price in Sweden was cheap, so Kang Youwei bought the island for only 6.5438+0.5 million yuan. Today, if you buy an island in Switzerland, it is daydreaming. It was a real bargain to buy an island at that time.

After Kang Youwei bought the island, he also spent a lot of money to decorate it, but later, due to political reasons, Kang Youwei was forced to leave the island, leaving the island unattended for a long time, and soon it became desolate. Finally, because the restaurant on the island caught fire, it was burned to a desolate place.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, the island has also been redeveloped and become a tourist attraction, which businessmen have heard of, which has restored the desert island to its former scene. China people who have heard of history also come with reverence.

Later, the island was called "Kang Youwei Island" to commemorate the reform of aspiring young people headed by Kang Youwei in the late Qing Dynasty for the rise and fall of the country.
