The original answer of how Liu Mingchuan died: Liu Mingchuan's political reform, which died of illness, involved military, administrative, economic, cultural and other fields, with a wide range. Because at that time, Taiwan Province Province was facing a serious threat of imperialist aggression, all measures had to proceed from the consolidation of national defense and always centered on the consolidation of national defense. In order to consolidate national defense, it is necessary to rectify armaments and enhance defense capabilities; Reclamation to maintain the stability of order on the island; Develop transportation to facilitate communication between all parts of the island and the mainland. In order to consolidate national defense, it is necessary to raise a large sum of money, one of which is to clean up the land tax. In this regard, Liu Mingchuan has contributed; The second way is to promote industry and develop production. In this regard, he left shortly after taking office. In order to consolidate national defense, develop transportation and set up new industries, it is necessary to train a large number of scientific and technological talents and absorb foreign advanced experience, so there are the establishment of western schools and telegraph schools and the employment of foreign technicians. All these can show that although Liu Mingchuan's reform took place in the late period of Chinese mainland's Westernization Movement, it was inevitably influenced by Chinese mainland's Westernization Movement in many aspects, but it was different from the Westernization Movement initiated by Li Hongzhang and others, which focused on internal defense and had no external meaning. Liu Mingchuan attaches great importance to absorbing overseas Chinese and private capital. The railways and coal mines he runs are all commercial shares, and some enterprises are handed over to the people if they are not good, which is different from some government-led westernization enterprises. Most of the enterprises he founded, such as railways, postal services, telecommunications, shipping and so on. Unlike mainland government-run enterprises, they have accumulated a lot of disadvantages and lost money every day. Liu Mingchuan's vision is not limited to Taiwan Province Province. He also hopes to "make an island country rich and strong" and take Taiwan Province Province's "facilities in a corner" as a national model. From this perspective, it should also be affirmed that he was a progressive figure in the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the reform in Liu Mingchuan was carried out under the corrupt Qing government. In the process of implementation, he encountered various obstacles from all sides. Therefore, although he wanted to make a difference, many people restrained, attacked and slandered him, forcing him to resign at 189 1. Shao Youlian, the successor of Taiwan Province Provincial Governor, was short-sighted and rigid, and abandoned the New Deal in Liu Mingchuan. The only planned and effective reform carried out in the Qing Dynasty died. 1896, Liu Mingchuan died at home. He was awarded the title of Prince of Taibao in Qing Dynasty and was allowed to build a special shrine. Some people say that Liu Mingchuan's "advocating the Huaihe River, practicing foreign exercises, discussing railways and building Taiwan Province Province is unprecedented in China", and his greatest achievement, which is also the most admirable for future generations, is "building Taiwan Province Province"-building a modern Taiwan Province Province.
