Liang’s concern, on the other hand, remained primarily national.” (Huang 1972: 73) Peter Zarrow argues that rights, in Liang’s vision, are a duty on the individual to the group “because the group depends on its members for its cohesion and strength”.
Liberty, to Liang, is the opposite of slavery, referring to slavery of the mind rather than physical slavery, and has four major components; political liberty, religious liberty, national liberty and economic liberty.
It appears that Liang prescribed autonomy, self-respect and cultivation of the individual very much with political ends in mind, and that an idea of a sphere of privacy entirely independent from public interference was an anachronism is this theoretical universe.

Liang, therefore, considered the translation of books published in Western countries « the most essential of all essential undertakings to accomplish » in speeding up the process of learning from the West and thereby making China strong ([Liang Qichao 1897] Editorial Board 1984a: 10).
Liang suggested that these works be translated in order of priority, and that some, such as books dealing with agriculture and arts and crafts, be rendered in plain Chinese for easy reading by less well-educated readers ([Liang Qichao 1897] Editorial Board 1984a: 13-15).
According to Liang, the mode of numbering years should follow the practice of the country from which the work was being translated, with the corresponding birthday anniversary of the Chinese Sage Confucius and the anniversary of a given dynasty provided as a side-note for easy reference ([Liang Qichao 1897] Editorial Board 1984a: 15-18).

Liang Qichao travelled across the continent from the West coast to the East by steamer, train, and horse-drawn carriage, visiting metropolitan and regional communities along the way, and meeting with governors and mayors, the new Prime Minister, community groups and business people at almost every port of call.

Liang stayed in New South Wales from 6 December 1900 until early May. In the later period of his stay, he started to write a history of China in the 1890s and gave regular lectures based on this book.

 Chinese Democracy
Unlike the Western theorists he studied, Liang felt that there was no difference between the individual interests and public interests; individual citizens were granted rights in order to better strengthen the state.
In fact, the only similarity between the democracy of Mao Zedong and that of Liang Qichao was the concept of the unity of state and individual interests.
But even he was not willing to accept that democracy entailed conflict and disorder, and he was no more able than Liang Qichao to answer the question of how the struggle of individuals in defense of their personal rights could possibly produce harmony.

Liang and his counterparts struggled to synthesize these strands: the imperatives of individualism, freedom, and democracy and the need for a strong state that could restore Chinese unity and pride.
Liang's intellectual framework, especially as it developed in his later years, came to form something of a template for "liberal" political thought in China.
He venerated Liang and, like him, tried to determine what aspects of the Western liberalism he had come to know while studying in the United States in 1910-17 were congruent with the salvageable parts of traditional Chinese culture.

In the second, Liang shifted his efforts at preservation from culture to nation and, feeling it imperative to draw upon the achievements of other times and places, made this possible by breaking down what had been a monolithic concept of the West.
To Levenson, this was the question that unified not only Liang Qichao’s thoughts, in all their psychologically necessary inconsistencies, but all the minds of his society, allowing the biographer to read in Liang’s writings the mind of modern China.
In Liang’s early years the question was a new one, whereas by the end of his life it had, while retaining importance, begun to share its central position with new questions of economic and social equality.

Throughout his life, Liang Qichao would be drawn to various schools of thought, Chinese and Western, but he would never abandon his dedication to the traditional Confucian emphasis on the duty of intellectuals to serve the state by demanding the best from it and its citizens.
Liang's text, however, is unique in that it offers an elite Chinese evaluation of people like himself--at least racially alike if not also in terms of class--who lived and labored in a foreign environment and his explicit reactions to their lives in America.
Liang met with the resident Chinese population in nearly all of the towns and cities he visited, and he launched a scathing attack on the Chinese in America in response to his month-long stay in San Francisco's Chinatown.

 Greening Red China
His grandfather, Liang Qichao, was a visionary in the late Qing Dynasty, who pushed western-style reforms in a last-ditch, but unsuccessful attempt to save the corrupt system.
Liang's father, who founded Qinghua University's architecture school, brought numerous western innovations to the mainland, particularly an experimental style of urban housing that melded modernism with China's traditional courtyards; thousands of students still tour a few surviving courtyards in the central city core.
Thus far, Liang has managed to parlay such guangxi (connections) into a string of successes, all the more startling when one considers that his seven-year-old Green group functions with only three paid staff and an annual budget of about US$23,000.

If Liang Qichao's aim was to discover the past and invent a new tradition through historiographical reform, it was the May Fourth intellectuals who responded most enthusiastically to his call and charted the course.

That, exclaims Liang, is exactly the attitude required from a modern “progressive” citizen, who should not be satisfied with personal intelligence in the midst of his compatriots’ unawareness and is supposed to sacrifice personal good for the state’s sake.
Liang explained, in his favourite Buddhist spirit, that “good karma” must be created by “free efforts” and thus only individuals themselves were to be blamed for their failures; as to the Xunzi’s “lot”, added Liang, it was not uniform Heavenly predestination, but rather “karmic result” of one’s past efforts
Liang’s overall understanding of the causative relationship in the universe, where Social Darwinist “efforts in the struggle” were blended with Buddhist “cause-and-effect” theories could not but attract the sympathy of Korea’s self-proclaimed Buddhist reformer.

 From Reform to Revolution
The reform program designed by the scholars Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and Tan Sitong had a brief trial in the so-called "Hundred Days of Reform" of 1898, but it was not until after the Boxer Rebellion defeat in 1900 that wide-ranging reforms in education, military, economics and government were actually implemented.
Liang Qichao, who was born in 1873 in a small southern village, not far from the Portuguese colony of Macao, died in 1929 after an intellectually tumultuous life.

But Liang belonged to the first generation of scholars who, instead of going into voluntary exile when their entreaties were rebuffed by the Imperial government, dared to organize a constituency outside of the government to apply political pressure.

Kang Youwei was joined by his student, Liang Qichao, in the early 1890s in promoting the idea of a gradual and nonviolent reform for a strong and modern China.
Liang Qichao believed that anti-Manchuism would only harm the long-term goal of Chinese nationalism, which was to build a unified, strong, and modern country.
Liang Qichao met Kang Youwei for the first time in the fall of 1890, and thereafter Liang studied intermittently for four years at Kang's private school, Wanmu Caotang, in Guangzhou.

Late Qing reformists such as Yan Fu and Liang Qichao, who initially articulated this new concept of the nation as distinct from the dynasty, found historic sanction for their ideas in the long-standing Chinese discourse on collective (gong) and private (si) interests.
Liang Qichao was so inspired by Huang's A Plan for the Prince (Mingyi Daifanglu) that he and Tan Sitong secretly made tens of thousands of copies of the proscribed text while teaching in Hunan in 1897.
They generally located themselves in what Liang Qichao had called "the age of transition," when it was the hero's role to be the mother of public opinion.
