 The Beiyang government ordered
the dismissal of the 3 officials and
the immediate release of the
arrested students. China refused to
sign the peace treaty with Germany.

The public realised by uniting different sectors

of the society the government policies could
be changed. They learned about their rights
to express opinions and had stronger desires
to take part in public affairs. Social and
ideological modernisation were promoted.
