Sung Chiao-jen
Sung Chiao-jen , 1882-1913, Chinese revolutionary and political leader. He was a founding member (1905) and a leading activist in the Revolutionary Alliance (see Sun Yat-sen ), an organization dedicated to overthrowing the Manchu dynasty in favor of a republic. After the republican revolution of 1911, Sung guided the Revolutionary Alliance into a merger with several parliamentary parties to form the Kuomintang , or Nationalist party. The parliamentary majority achieved by the Kuomintang in the elections of 1912-13 was largely due to Sung's superb organizing ability. He advocated a party cabinet to check the power of the first president, Yüan Shih-kai . Sung was assassinated, allegedly at the instigation of Yuan.
