Four Bandits

The Four Bandits, Four Outlaws or Four Desperados was a nickname given to a 19th-century group of four young revolutionaries: Sun Yat-sen, Yeung Hok-ling, Chan Siu-bak and Yau Lit. While studying in British Hong Kong, they were keen on Chinese politics and aspired to overthrow the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The quad used to gather at 'Yeung Yiu Kee', Yeung's family business located at 24 Gough Street in Hong Kong. One of the Four Bandits, Sun Yat-sen, later became the leader of China Revolutionary Alliance and the first Provisional President of the Republic of China. Today, the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum displays their wax sculptures to commemorate the quad.
