Liang Qichao pioneered political journalism, writing vociferously at the turn of the twentieth century on the urgent need for democratic reform in China. He said that he worked from the 'Ice-Drinker's Studio', implying that only ice could cool his passion. This newly translated selection of his essays, ranging over citizenship, self-government, freedom of thought and women's rights, shows the burning sense of mission which drove him on. Liang's galvanizing writings helped lead China's break from ancient tradition and into a new era - although the nation that eventually emerged would be a very different one.
