CPC members who took part in Revolution of 1911
The Revolution of 1911, or the Xinhai Revolution, began with the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911. It led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the establishment of the Republic of China (1912-1949). Some of those who took part in the revolution later became members of the Communist Party of China. Let's have a close look at them as the centenary of the revolution draws near:
