Huang Xing
On August 25, 1912, the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang or KMT) was founded at the guild hall at a convention of the Revolutionary Alliance, led by Sun Yat-sen, and five smaller pro-revolution parties. Together they formed the KMT to contest the first national elections of the Republic of China. The guild hall held several hundred party activists and several thousand spectators. Sun, the then Premier of the Republic, was chosen as the party chairman with Huang Xing as his deputy.
