In 1898, the emperor of China himself became sympathetic to Kang's ideas and, on June 11, launched one hundred days of reform. He took as his models Peter the Great and Japanese Meiji Emperor. Edicts were issued for sweeping reforms of China's schools, railroads, police, laws, military services, bureaucracy, post offices, and examination system. But conservative resistance was nationwide and the others were implemented in only one province. At the court, the empress dowager regained control, and the reforms soon ended. Kang and most his associates fled to Japan; one reformer who remained behind was executed.
