Tips

history

宋教仁 led the Kuomintang to a landslide victory in China's first parliamentary elections (1912-1913) and was poised to become premier when he was gunned down at Shanghai North Railway Station on March 20, 1913. The assassination, widely blamed on President Yuan Shikai (袁世凯), sparked the Second Revolution (二次革命) and ended China's brief experiment with parliamentary democracy.
