  On behalf of the
  Political reform
  (Middle), Wang Tao
  Alas! The world today and wish to distinguish between things, will start from Europe! As many countries in Europe, for the prosperity of the program, making the hub. Without this, no to division made its long way for a change. The garden has a boat, Erbizeyi vessels, and Western with a car, Erbizeyi train; West with a postal delivery, Erbizeyi electronic music; Western with firearms, the guns alone Er Bi Jing; Western with well prepared defense, and Er Bi of Fort mine alone good at their victory; Western Lu Bing with a navy, Er Bi of the art of war alone long. He is the investigation of others, of the unknown for me; he of the stress, as I shall have less. So are not directly hunchback index. China to set my time without a change in security to all commensurate to the European powers, but with the right according to their means than are zai!
  However, the road will be difficult indeed for a change. All Western nations of today, he flies in the face who disdain those who are depending on that too. The Yan Yue: I use my method to rule the world, its own way of the saint in. You just do not know almost timely. Confucius, born almost even today, its not a big fuss over old time off, but not for work, there are known also. Points of view of those in China today without him, said: follow too, struggling too, deceived also, whitewash is also, like it has a monopoly of wisdom, is also false pride; hi tribute flattery and evil with respect, good pay levy goods, which benefit each other. However, he has a thoughtful corrective outstanding person, it certainly not seen with Penang. Gou to a change of that into, its not an uproar and those who by some Greek! Speaker will cover the United States into its words, saying: The public is also China's talent, the breadth of the land also, Kohei the strong also, and financial resources of the rich are the stipulations and the United States and also, beyond the challenge of non-Western country also. Alas! Are alike, carry on. He knows talent especially the people, but I do not know why I used that to support its personnel; know the breadth of the land, but I do not know why I rule that the benefits of their land; know hoplite of the strong, but I do not know that I am practicing the hoplite Wei; know money is a rich but I do not know why Yu their financial income and reduce expenditure, to the infinite and the use of various non-Kui; Observing the degree of beauty, but not a law-abiding, row dimension of power, not to as a dead letter. Where are euphemistically its cover. So to today in terms of governance, a change is not non-functional.
  Change the way how? One said: take the scholar in the law should change too. Stickers including one to benefit today and the next trend, Yong corruption by bringing bad not to. Persons are still in the take, say the system branches, several thousands of years to take hasty ignorance, while the number of persons say. Commission to rule the people of the future, the people of their treatment or Down? So I said: take the scholar in the law unchanged, not the end talent.
  One said: training of the law should change too. The navy camp this land, its authors at the nationals, the famous but not really. The parties concerned in order to soldiers disappear, but also to raise Yong, can gather and not scattered. Tianjin garrison of Bingzhi million today, although sufficient to guard God, Beijing, wing Paul Exploitation in order to curb strong reputation and halberd iron; and his office are required to rectify Haiphong, green flag over Camp, naval warships, are as easy to instrument more ship, so that a new barrier, and not engage in bow and arrow still spears. Gou is still not early to plan their old, is that the war of not Christians, no special drive of the death also. So I say: Art of War can not change the military strong.
  One said: useless schools should change also. Didactic established this discipline, one small-eup, Dayi two, virtual Mi Lin Su, had nothing to do. And its people, both door in an upper story redundant category incompetent, Longzhong few shame, for the disabilities of less than exemplary. College Hill long, pray take the reputation of honor as recommended by the fate of the monthly classes, but to pursue stories. Is there to support persons in the name of the court, without the support of the scholar in reality also. Not if the anti-Chinese legislation when the Imperial Academy, the world Scholars, which also still have to study at.
  One said: Law of the red tape should change too. Former emperor into the customs, its people about, but said, law chapters ear. Modern times the clerks, fraud, and statutes more closely and more disordered, but the text for its Dance Nongfa had ears. Arrested Soul context, Shigeru Jue disadvantages day. Hard against the move said, precedents and practices, the old law when the Code, and all things, both for its binding gallop carry on. Is a line of law in the name of the court, without instructions from Law really should. Is not as good as amended by the Education, provincial orders, open, and with the public meet to-day.
  All the four, who is also Safe urgent change. Both the four variables, and then west of the Act make reference to almost the meantime. But the most important ones, the right to change our habits, exercise of self on. Gradually collapse with people on the intangible transfer in unknowingly. Cover their variable also, by the end of this and, from inside and outside, by large and small, but Feitu rely almost Western calendar also.
