Kajian ini meneliti hubungan Wuxu Zhengbian Ji (Riwayat tentang Rampasan Kuasa 1898) dengan sastera laporan Cina pada peringkat permulaan. Wuxu Zhengbian Ji dikarang oleh Liang Qichao iaitu seorang intelektual yang terkemuka pada akhir Dinasti Qing, dan juga tokoh yang penting dalam Gerakan Pembaharuan 100 Hari. Sehingga kini, Wuxu Zhengbian Ji masih merupakan data sejarah yang amat penting bagi kajian Gerakan Pembaharuan 100 Hari. Akan tetapi, kajian terhadap Wuxu Zhengbian Ji dari segi sastera laporan adalah kurang kerana kajian yang berkaitan biasanya menumpu kepada aspek pemikiran politik, hubungan dengan hal semasa, perspektif sejarah dan lain-lain. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan menumpu kepada unsur-unsur sastera laporan yang terdapat pada Wuxu Zhengbian Ji yang merangkumi unsur keperibadian, unsur kebenaran, unsur kesegeraan, unsur realiti dan unsur sastera. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan unsur-unsur sastera laporan terpendam luas di dalam Wuxu Zhengbian Ji. Implikasinya, unsur-unsur sastera laporan yang terdapat dalam karya Wuxu Zhengbian Ji telah membuktikan terhasilnya penulisan sastera laporan pada penghujung Dinasti Qing dan Wuxu Zhengbian Ji merupakan salah sebuah sastera laporan yang berperanan penting dalam sastera laporan Cina pada peringkat permulaan.

The concepts of Minben , Minbensixiang , and Minbenzhuyi are rather popular in current Chinese discourse. However, “Minben” was hardly found in Chinese ancient literature as a noun. Around the year of 1916, “Minbenzhuyi” became widely accepted in Japanese intellectual circles, interpreted as one of the Japanese versions of democracy. In 1917, “Minbenzhuyi” was transferred to China as a loanword by Li Dazhao and developed into one of the Chinese definitions of democracy. Nevertheless, Chen Duxiu questioned the meaning of the term in 1919. It was not until 1922 did Liang Qichao bring Minbenzhuyi back into Chinese context and conduct a systematic analysis, which had a lasting impact on Chinese intellectual community. In the following 20 years, Minbenzhuyi was largely accepted in two different senses: 1) interpreted as Chinese definition of democracy; 2) specifically refers to the Confucian idea of “Minshiminting and Minguijunqing (;, ) Gradually, it became evident that Minbenzhuyi in China had grown distant from the meaning of democracy and returned to its traditional Confucian values.

Inspired by Japanese influences among others the late Qing period saw a great surge in the writing of fiction after 1900. The rate of growth was unprecedented in the history of Chinese literature. The great surge coincided with rapid socio-political changes that China underwent in the last fifteen years of the Qing Dynasty. At the psychological level, the humiliating defeat by Japan in 1895 gave rise to a feeling of urgency for reform among some progressively minded Chinese intellectuals. Those reformers came to view fiction as a powerful medium to further their reform causes and to arouse among the people the awareness of the changes they believed China most urgently required. Fiction was no longer considered as constituting insignificant and trivial writings. It was no longer the idle pastime of retired literati composed to entertain a small circle of their friends, or written by a discontented recluse to vent a personal grudge through a brush. The role of fiction came to be defined in relation to its utility as an influence on politics and society and its artistic quality was subordinated to such a definition.

It wasn't so long ago that histories of China's rocky transition to modernity featured a small and entirely male cast of characters. In the works of the first generation of American Sinologists, from John King Fairbank to his most famous students such as Joseph Levenson, a few men, from late Qing statesman Li Hongzhang 李鴻章 to reformers and revolutionaries like Kang Youwei 康有為, Sun Yatsen 孫中山, and Liang Qichao 梁啟超, loomed large over the narrative of the Chinese revolution. Into this lacuna Mary Rankin's rediscovery of the late Qing female martyr Qiu Jin 秋瑾 came as a thunderbolt. Her work opened up the possibility that perhaps the problem wasn't the absence of women in China's revolution but the failure of scholars to look for their contribution. Rankin's 1968 article on “The Tenacity of Tradition,” and her subsequent bookEarly Chinese Revolutionariespaved the way for a far more nuanced and complicated new social history of modern China.
