杨度：几度风雨转变信仰

Yang Du: Belief Changes in Several Failures

杨度1875年生于湖南湘潭一个偏僻的乡村，自幼苦读诗书，立志做度量天下之人。1895年，杨度落榜后回到湖南。后杨度赴京参加会试再次败北。惆怅迷惘时，他目睹了戊戌维新运动，深受触动，遂弃科举倾新学，以期找到实现治国安邦的新路径。

In 1875, Yang Du was born in a remote village in Xiangtan, Hunan Province. He studied hard and determined to be a man of tremendous promise since he was young. In 1895, Yang Du returned to Hunan after failing in the imperial examination. Later, He went to Beijing to take the metropolitan examination, but failed again. During his disconsolate and confused days, he witnessed the Reform Movement of 1898 and was deeply touched. Therefore, he gave up the imperial examination and devoted himself to this movement in order to find a new way to promote the country to grow in strength.

杨度

在探求新知的过程中，杨度认识到中国专制集权制度的弊端，主张实行君主立宪。1905年，杨度为清朝宪政考察组代写报告。据他所勾勒的宪政蓝图，清政府预备起用杨度仿行立宪。于是一介书生变为朝廷命官，为推行宪政改革奔走。然而，辛亥革命使他的首个君主立宪梦化成泡影。后袁世凯当选中华民国大总统，聘杨度为参政院顾问。1916年，洪宪帝制覆灭，杨度被视为“帝制祸首”遭到通缉，避难天津租界。一年后张勋复辟再次失败，连遭打击的杨度终于醒悟，彻底放弃君宪救国迷梦。

In the process of exploring reform, Yang Du realized the drawbacks of China’s autocratic centralization system and advocated the implementation of constitutional monarchy. In 1905, Yang Du wrote a report for the constitutional investigation group of the Qing Dynasty. According to Yang Du’s constitutional blueprint, the Qing government was ready to appoint him to follow and implement the constitutional monarchy. Since then, Yang Du changed from a scholar to a proper courtier and devoted himself to the implementation of constitutional reform. However, such hope was shattered by the 1911 Revolution. In 1912, Yuan Shikai was elected president of the Republic of China, and he appointed Yang Du as consultant of the Senate. In 1916,  Hong Xian monarchy was overthrown. Yang Du was wanted for being regarded as the culprit of autocratic monarchy. To seek safety, he moved to Tianjin concession. One year later, the DingSi Restoration plotted by zhang Xun failed again. These successive failures eventually made Yang Du give up his belief of saving the country through constitutional monarchy.

正当其苦闷之际，五四运动爆发，杨度跟随孙中山进行民主革命，并结识了中共领袖李大钊，加深了对共产主义的认识。“四·一二”反革命政变后，目睹了白色恐怖下大量革命志士惨遭屠害的悲剧，杨度一方面对国民党反动派的残暴之至极为震惊，另一方面又被革命党人视死如归的崇高精神所感动，便下定决心为党的事业倾尽所有心力。1929年秋，经介绍和批准，杨度加入了中国共产党，成为一名秘密党员。

Just when he was depressed, the May 4th Movement broke out in 1919. Yang Du then joined Sun Yat Sen’s democratic revolution and met Li Dazhao, the leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Gradually, he got a deeper understanding of communism. On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek started a counter-revolutionary coup and a large number of revolutionaries were massacred. Such tragedy greatly astonished Yang Du. On the one hand, he was shocked by the atrocity of the Kuomintang reactionaries. On the other hand, he was moved by the noble spirit of the revolutionaries, so he decided to devote all his efforts to the cause of the CPC. Through introduction and approval, Yang Du joined the CPC in the autumn of 1929 and became a crypto-communist.
