China: Liang Qichao (23 February 1873 - 19 January 1929), Chinese scholar, journalist and philosopher, c. 1917. Liang Qichao was a Chinese scholar, journalist, philosopher and reformist during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), who inspired Chinese scholars with his writings and reform movements. He died of illness in Beijing at the age of 55. As an advocate of constitutional monarchy, Liang was unhappy with the governance of the Qing Government and wanted to change the status quo in China. He organised reforms with Kang Youwei by putting their ideas on paper and sending them to Emperor Guangxu.
