戊戌变法

noun

the Hundred Days' Reform; the 1898 Reform Movement (a bourgeois political reform led by Kang Youwei through Emperor Guangxu)

Also known as 戊戌维新 or 百日维新. The movement advocated learning from the West, promoting science and culture, reforming political and educational systems, and developing agriculture, industry, and commerce. It lasted only 103 days before being suppressed by conservative forces led by Empress Dowager Cixi in the September Coup (Wuxu Coup), resulting in the imprisonment of Emperor Guangxu and the arrest or exile of reformers.
