The imperial examination system was abolished in Qing dynasty 1905, and Liu Chunlin was the first scholar in the imperial examination in 1903. He was not only the last scholar in Qing Dynasty, but also the last scholar in feudal society. The minister of education he refused to be was the minister of Manchukuo, so he refused to be a minister out of national integrity.

Liu Chunlin entered imperial academy after winning the top prize, and was sent to Japan to study. Hold an important position after returning to China. The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty. As a former official, he could not live in seclusion, and later assisted Yuan Shikai, the great president. During the Beiyang government, Liu Chunlin actually served as the director of the Education Department of Zhili Province and presided over the ceremony in Shandong. Later, because of the darkness of politics, politicians did not pay attention to educating people's livelihood, but fought for power and profit, so Liu Chunlin resigned and lived in seclusion again, becoming a bibliophile.

193 1 year, the Japanese invaders created the September 18th Incident and gradually took control of the three northeastern provinces. At this time, the Japanese fostered the puppet Manchukuo regime in order to publicize their rationality. Many people were forced by the Japanese to work in Manchukuo, and even Puyi became a puppet of the Japanese regardless of national integrity. At this time, the Japanese remembered the prestigious Liu Chunlin and wanted him to be the Minister of Education of the Puppet Manchukuo. However, Liu Chunlin knew his interests and resolutely refused to take office. Angry Japanese robbed or burned all his calligraphy and painting collections, but this still can't shake Liu Chunlin's determination. Liu Chunlin died on 1944.

Liu Chunlin was born in a turbulent era. He was an official in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Unlike those old people and young people, he did not serve the monarch because he was the top scholar, but chose higher morality and served the nation-state Liu Chunlin is a good example. He doesn't stick to tradition, but he can keep his integrity. You can't live in seclusion when politics is dark. Political clarity, you were born to be human. When the country is in danger, you can't be afraid of the power of the invaders. It is really a model for our generation of scholars.
