自鸦片战争以来,当时统治着中国的满清政府,在与帝国主义列强的武装入侵战争中无不失败。清廷腐朽、民不聊生、社会封闭、学术落后、人才缺乏,国家被瓜分的危急存亡形势已暴露在国人面前。改革政治、发展教育、培养人才、提倡科学而达到富国强兵,便成为举国的全民意志。 Since the Opium War, the Manchu government that ruled China at the time has all but failed in the armed invasion war with the imperialist powers.

Reforming politics, developing education, cultivating talented people, advocating science and reaching the might of the rich and the powerful will become the universal will of the entire nation.
