Abstract: The failure of Wu Hsu reform is mainly due to the following reasons:the reformers did not balance the relations between the conservative and the revolutionary party and did not have superb political skills;package solution of all reform problems is prone to violate the interests of the majority and make too many enemies;the reformers fail to use Fabian strategy with lightning tactics and could not set reasonable fighting strategy.A successful revolutionary need not to be a political master;but a successful reformer must to be a top-class politician.

Key words: fighting on two fronts, overall reformation；Fabian strategy, lightning tactics
