Liang Qichao 梁啟超 formed the moderate Progressive Party after the Republican Revolution of 1911 and twice served as a cabinet-level minister. He later withdrew to a life of teaching and scholarship.
Liang Qichao was a reform-minded scholar and essayist who rose to prominence after the humiliating defeat of China in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895).
