ABSTRACT

Chapter 8 discusses the reconstruction of Dao Anren’s role in Sun Yat-sen’s revolution and the Tengyue Uprising in 1911. Paying attention to the power relationship between the Yunnan warlords and the gentry in western Yunnan, this chapter sheds light on how the Han-ethnic division affected power struggles within Tengyue as well as the writings of non-Han elites in China’s revolutions.
