Kang You Wei: A Chinese Reformer in America
Jane Leung Larson
7 March, 2026 9:30 - 11 am
Jane Larson will give an overview of her 2025 co-authored book, "A Chinese Reformer in Exile," which examines Kang Youwei’s travels in North America and leadership of the Chinese Empire Reform Association between 1899 and 1911, during his exile from China after the failed Hundred Days’ Reform of 1898. Tracing his activities between 1899 and 1911, the global dimensions of this pioneering Chinese reform movement will be highlighted with its impact on overseas Chinese communities, including Portland, one of the most active chapters of the reform association.
