Then, Mr. Sun will pay a visit to Yeung Kui-wan's house at 52 Gage Street.

Yeung received western education at St Paul's College when young. He was, in fact, a man of both letter and sword: he practised martial arts regularly and, as transpired, had given some troublemaking zonked British soldiers a drubbing on many occasions. Later he worked in the China Merchants Group (then called Zhaoshangju) and, after that, the David Sassoon & Sons Company. In spare time he founded and chaired the Furen Literary Society, which for its revolutionary orientation was later incorporated into the Revive China Society.

But conflicts sprang up within the Revive China Society. Members split into two camps over the "Republic" issue, and there were different opinions as to who should be the leader: Chan Siu-bak and Cheng Si-leung, for example, belonged to the "Sun's clan", while some others were "pro-Yeung". Chung Wo Tong, headed by Yau Lit, slanted in favour of Yeung, though it stood in fact as a separate camp. Sun and Yeung differed so much in belief that many a time their fierce arguments ended in brawl, which would last until someone pushed them apart.

In the run-up to the Guangzhou Uprising in 1895, the Revive China Society put the issue to vote. It was worked out that Yeung would be the President of the provisional government, provided that the Revolution achieved success. In both the 1895 Guangzhou Uprising and the 1900 Huizhou Uprising, Yeung was the Hong Kong-based commander and the chief, taking advantage of his position in western company to procure munitions and entrust the triads to recruit soldiers for the Revolution.
