The result failed. Reasons: The bourgeois reformists, lacking the courage to oppose imperialism and feudalism, can only adopt improved methods and pin their hopes entirely on the emperor who has no real power to control water; Faced with the attack of die-hard forces, they pinned their hopes on Yuan Shikai and foreign invaders and divorced themselves from the broad masses of the people. Therefore, the Reform Movement of 1898 was a flash in the pan and soon failed.
