  • Tong Meng Hui in Singapore and Nanyang
    GALLERY 2 TONG MENG HUI IN SINGAPORE AND NANYANG In the early 20th century, Dr. Sun Yat Sen chose Singapore as his overseas revolutionary base as he was attracted by its strategic location at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, advanced infrastructure, large Chinese population and the intermingling of Eastern and Western influences here. Wan Qing Yuan thus became an important command post for his revolutionary activities. This villa was where the Tong Meng Hui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance) Singapore Branch was established. It was also the place where several influential Chinese figures and Southeast Asian revolutionaries planned, raised funds for and directed uprisings in China. Dr. Sun Yat Sen started a newspaper to serve as the mouthpiece of the revolutionary movement, advocated the setting up of reading clubs, and organised public lectures and opera performances to generate publicity for the revolution, as well as to garner support overseas. After several branches of the Tong Meng Hui had been established in the region, he made Wan Qing Yuan the Southeast Asian headquarters of the organisation to better coordinate the planning of revolutionary activities. The Nanyang revolutionaries actively supported the revolution from behind the lines, with some even heading to China to fight in the frontlines.

  • Looking Back on Wan Qing Yuan a Hundred Years Ago
    MAIN INTRODUCTION LOOKING BACK ON WAN QING YUAN A HUNDRED YEARS AGO Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall is a heritage institution under the National Heritage Board. At the beginning of the 20th century, it served as an important revolutionary base for Dr. Sun Yat Sen when he was in Southeast Asia. After the Tong Meng Hui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance) Singapore Branch was established, Dr. Sun, Hu Han Min (1879 - 1936), Wang Jing Wei (1883 - 1944), Huang Xing (1874 - 1916), Ju Zheng (1876 - 1951), as well as their Southeast Asian revolutionary comrades used to gather here. Dr. Sun plotted three uprisings at this base and made Singapore the Southeast Asian headquarters of the Tong Meng Hui. The four permanent galleries of this Memorial Hall are: “In the Beginning - The Prominent Trio”; “Tong Meng Hui in Singapore and Nanyang”; “Overthrowing the Monarchy, Establishing a Republic” and “The Nanyang Response to the Establishment of the Republic”. The exhibits in these galleries re-examine the role played by Singapore's Chinese community in Dr. Sun's revolutionary activities and their responses to socio-political changes in China. They also show the lasting impact of the 1911 Revolution on the Chinese in Southeast Asia. GALLERY 1 IN THE BEGINNING – THE PROMINENT TRIO Wan Qing Yuan was originally a privately owned villa. In 1905, local businessman Teo Eng Hock and his brother Teo Bah Tan bought the property for their mother as a place where she could spend her golden years. The name “Wan Qing Yuan” (Serene Sunset Garden) originated from a poem by Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) poet Li Shang Yin.

Do you know why they were named the Four Desperados? 因為楊鶴齡、陳少白、尢列和孫中山四人常常聚在一起談論反清的事，所以被稱為「 四大寇」。 Yeung Hok-ling, Chan Siu-pak, Yau Lit and Dr Sun Yat-sen often got together to discuss overthrowing the Qing dynasty, and were therefore called the “Four Desperados”. 第二部分 | PART 2 | 16 II 補充資料 SUPPlEmEnTARy inFORmATiOn 「 四大寇」的稱號由來是於一八八八年十月十日，尢列到香港找楊鶴齡、陳少白和孫中 山商量清政府可能要升調他往越南任中法定界委員會一事。經商議後，尢列決定放棄個 人升官，以反清為己任，提議聯合宣誓，以表決心。尢列負責起稿，陳少白用黃紙書正 之後，一齊穿上中式禮服，登上楊耀記天台，燃點香燭向天發誓後焚燒誓詞。此事引起 楊鶴齡兄長的注意，他一直以為他們只是隨便談談，那知這次卻非常認真，他語帶諷刺 的說：「你們四大寇在弄甚麼 ? 整天在談反清的事，試問你們小孩子有何力量啊 ? 萬一被 清政府知道，你們便有性命危險了 ! 真是年紀輕不懂事 !」由此日起，楊耀記上下人等便 稱呼他們為「 四大寇」，而這個綽號亦漸漸在同學和朋友中傳開去。 The name “Four Desperados” was coined on 10 October 1888. On that day, Yau Lit came to Hong Kong to tell Yeung Hok-ling, Chan Siu-pak, and Dr Sun Yat-sen about his potential promotion to represent the Qing court in the Sino-French Border Committee in Vietnam. After discussion with his friends, Yau decided to give up the promotion and devote himself to overthrowing the Qing dynasty. He proposed that they take an oath together to show their determination. Yau drafted the oath and Chan wrote it on a piece of yellow paper. Afterwards, the four friends changed into traditional Chinese ceremonial attire and went up to the rooftop of Yeung Yiu Kee. They lit incense and candles, and pledged their determination to the heavens before burning the yellow paper. This act aroused the attention of Yeung Hok-ling’s brother, who thought they were only half serious about the matter.
