Group of student revolutionaries in Hong Kong, Qing China
The Four Bandits, Four Outlaws (
Chinese: 四大寇) or the Four Desperados (清末四大寇) was a nickname given to a 19th-century group of four young students in
Hong Kong who were keen on discussing the current issues in China, and aspired to overthrow the
Manchu-led
Qing dynasty. The four bandits were
Yeung Hok-ling,
Sun Yat-sen,
Chan Siu-bak and
Yau Lit.

Gough Street in
Hong Kong, used to be the meeting place of the bandits.

China Revolutionary Alliance and the first
Provisional President of the
Republic of China. At the

statues made out of wax were made of the exact picture taken.
