Profile

Yu Shimei, male, with obscure words, was originally from He county, Guangxi, and moved to Yingshan in the early Republic of China. In the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), he became a Jinshi in shimeizhong. He took shujishi as the chief officer of the Ministry of war. After three years, he passed the imperial examination. Li Hongzhang, the Minister of Beiyang, admired the talent of Shimei and was appointed by Beiyang. Yu Shimei has been in Beiyang for more than ten years, and many of his works are about Fengzhang.

Guangxu 33 (1907) was promoted to minister of the Ministry of post and communication.

Political experience

At that time, the political tide was fierce. The Qing government issued an imperial edict to prepare for constitutionalism. Both the government and the public said that western law should be carried out. Although Yu Shimei was appointed as the Minister of constitutional government to visit Germany, he held his own views on the implementation of western law. Chen Yan, the emperor of Qing Dynasty, advocated the implementation of the constitution. He believes that some of China's inherent laws are in line with the constitutional system, which can not be denied. If there is no conventional law, there will be trouble. Today's state affairs are not due to the fact that officials do not abide by the legal system to promote their strengths, and do not check the people's situation to change their shortcomings. He advocated that we should make up for our shortcomings by taking the other as the constitutional monarchies of Japan and Germany, so as to avoid the loss of power and national interference in the government. He thought that if the government of a country belongs to one person, the people will have the same idea. If it is scattered among the people, the people will have the heart to advance. Otherwise, they will follow the French Revolution and fail. He proposed to Emperor Guangxu to implement constitutionalism, to promote education, to prepare talents, and to select ministers with general reputation as officials in Xinjiang. He repeatedly pointed out that Japan's Meiji restoration was successful only after 20 years, and China's constitutionalism should not be rash and rash. At least 10 years should be the preparation period for constitutionalism, and then the overall situation can be decided. Yu Shimei Chen Yan was accepted by the imperial court, and was transferred to be the Minister of rites and the Minister of Li. Chen Jingren, the head of the law department of Shanghai politics, information, society, and Zhang Lixian, was very radical. After hearing Yu Shimei's announcement, he immediately telegraphed the imperial court to call a Congress within three years. Yu Shimei was dismissed as a Xie Guoren. He was severely ordered by the Qing emperor and was removed from his post. Yu Shimei also said that the central government should firmly unify when the national reform is still in the air. There are few people who know the government and the law. Suddenly, the local parliament, which favors the big government, stands between the government and the people. Even if the elected people are not all arbitrary, the state power falls into the hands of a few people, hijacking the foreign and Chinese ministers, and the future trouble is invincible. Yu Shimei also used the German constitutional monarchy to remonstrate and refute it one by one. He has translated the full text of Prussian constitution, official system, title, rank, and the new and old election laws of the two houses, and played for the imperial court.

Old age

In the first year of Xuantong (1909), Yu Shimei returned from Germany for investigation and asked for leave due to illness. Zhang Zhidong recommended Yu Shimei to Da Yong and returned to be the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. He soon transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the Minister of Li Xue Guan affairs, the Minister of law revision, and the vice president of the National History Museum. Yu Shimei is honest and kind-hearted. Yuwang palace in Yingshan County is the guild hall of Huguang people. It is separated from Yu's ancestral hall by a wall. In order to fight for a wall of land, the people of all surnames in the guild hall have a lot of money to win. Yu's people want to fight with the power of Shimei. Yu Shimei wrote back and quoted "a thousand letters are a wall. Why don't you let him three feet. The Great Wall is still here today, and there is no poem of "the first emperor of Qin". Yu's clan, seeing that Shi Mei had no intention of suing, stopped suing. Yu's family name, who was a high official in the guild hall, was suddenly magnanimous and felt the idea of giving up fighting. The two dialects were harmonious, which has been widely talked about up to now. after the death of Qing Dynasty, Yu Shimei was not an official and lived in Qingdao, Shandong Province. In 1913, the Qing History Museum was established, and Yu Shimei served as the chief reader of compiling Qing history manuscripts. He was 63 years old.
