-Try to avoid passive sentences- use active verbs- '''I wrote..., I argued..., I did...''' instead of ''I have written..., I have argued..., I have done''...

Why don't you write something about his great achievement in literature? Root 18:38, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

I would like you to write more about Liang Qichao's emotions, using quotes if you can find them. Liang was a very passionate man. How do you think he felt when he failed his Jinshi examination? Tell about his admiration of Kang Youwei. There were many times in which he must have been very disappointed in the path China was taking, please write passionately about his despair. Was he optimistic or pessimistic about China's future? Adding just a few sentences using emotionally charged words will help bring this paper to life.:) Dei 05:30, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

This site [1] has some interesting quotes on Liang's opinion on race which are very informative. Dei 05:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
