Huang Hsing opposed Sun Yat Sen's surrender of the presidency to Yuan Shih Kai. While Sun Yat Sen was the nominal head of the rebellion of 1913, Gen- eral Huang Using was its real leader. He is the stormy petrel of Chinese politics. Tang Shao-yi was the most brilliant man intellect- ually of those who took part in the revolution. Born in Canton, educated in the United States, he returned to an obscure clerkship in the Chinese customs service and gradually rose in office, until a quarter of a ce...n- tury later he became vice-foreign minister for China and revolutionized the customs service over night, politely shifting Sir Robert Hart from the headship and becoming: himself one of the chiefs of the Customs Board of Control. He was one of the leaders of the opium reform and later was called by Prince Chun, as already narrated, to the presidency of the Board of Commerce. Later he retired to private life ; on the out- break of the revolution he wrote ^^lan Shih Kai twice and on "S'uan's acceptance of office went to Peking to confer with him.
