Abstract: After the Jia-Wu War, in order to save the nation, the Qing Government vigorously promoted people to Japan to study. After the beginning of the new politics, the number of students studying in Japan of Shanxi increased, and gradually formed a very strong national consciousness. Shanxi People’s Movement to recovery of mineral rights broke out in 1905, when the news reached Japan, students from Shanxi took an active part in it. They called the government, wrote an open letter to the public and delivered articles to criticize the shameless acts of giving up the mineral rights. And because of the Li Peiren’s death, more and more people joined the struggle, and at last they won the struggle. The students’ struggle for the mineral rights not only protected the national sovereignty but also laid a solid foundation for the coming storm of the bourgeois revolution.
