FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS

YOUNG, KWONG-DAT (Yang Guangda) operated two stores in Chinatown, Wing Cheong Loong at the corner of Hotel and Maunakea Streets, and the larger Kwong Cheong Loong at the corner of King and Maunakea Streets.  Dr. Sun and his followers held meetings in the latter store whose second store served as transcient living quarters for revolutionaries and single young men from Buck Toy village.  He became the second president of the Tung Meng Hui (Tongmenghui) and was entrusted by Dr. Sun to handle the money donated by people for the revolution.
