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

At that time, Kang Youwei was exiled abroad and spent a lot of money to buy an island named "Kang Youwei". After Kang Youwei left, the island was recovered by the Swedish government and no longer belonged to Kang Youwei. Later, a typical western-style building appeared on the island, which was a big hotel specially used to welcome tourists.

Kang Youwei is a famous figure in the late Qing Dynasty. He was on the side of Emperor Guangxu. With the support of the emperor, several scholars at that time engaged in the Reform Movement of 1898, hoping to save the society with such a new reform. At first, their reform was good, but because these people were too eager for quick success and instant benefit, they did not plan the future seriously, which led to the failure of the reform, but made the people miserable. Finally, with the fall of Emperor Guangxu, the political reform of these people also ended. Since ancient times, losers have come to no good end, and of course, these losers who engage in political reform are the same. At that time, Cixi ordered them to be arrested and taken to the vegetable market for beheading. However, in a crisis, Kang Youwei, the pioneer of this reform, left his companions and fled in a hurry. This also makes people revile him all the time.

Later, after the reform, Kang Youwei went into exile overseas, and he never forgot to "advocate reform and save the country". Of course, when his slogan rings, no matter where he goes, he will give a speech to the local Chinese first, so as to raise money to complete his grand cause. Many people in China opened their wallets because of his impassioned speech, and contributed their meager strength. Kang Youwei even forged one to make others trust him. With this money, Kang Youwei lived a happy life like a fairy. Near Sweden, he also spent money to buy an island, which was called "Kang Youwei Island" by others. He built a big villa on the island and spent countless money, but he only lived on the island for three years and then left.

This island has nothing to do with Kang Youwei now, but many people still call it "Kang Youwei Island". Kang Youwei's life, except the reform, is almost covered with stains. In his later years, he overthrew all the principles he once admired. In his later years, he really should be ruined.
