戊戌变法是一次资产阶级性质的革命运动。以康有为为首的维新派企图通过和平改革 (也不完全排斥使用暴力 )的途径 ,在中国确立君主立宪制度 ,以期最终实现资产阶级的专政。这次革命 ,无论从理论的角度来看 ,抑或是从历史条件来看 ,都具有取得成功的可能性。只是因为历史的偶然性———维新派识人、用人的错误和袁世凯的叛卖 ,才使这次可望成功的革命运动功亏一篑 ,陷于失败 The Reform Movement of 1898 was a Revolutionary Movement of Bourgeois Nature. The reformists headed by Kang Youwei tried to establish a constitutional monarchy in China by peaceful means of reform (and not completely reject the use of violence) in the hope of finally realizing the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. This revolution, both from a theoretical point of view or from historical conditions, has the possibility of success. Only because of the accidental nature of history --- the reorganization of intellectuals, employing mistakes and Yuan Shikai’s betrayal can the success of the successful revolutionary movement come to nothing and fall into failure
