Yeung Hok-ling (楊鶴齡) (1868 - 29 August 1934), courtesy name Lai-ha (禮遐), was a Chinese revolutionary. He is one of the Four Bandits, together with Sun Yat-sen, Yau Lit and Chan Siu-bak.
Biography
Born in Macau, Yeung's hometown was at Cuiheng Village at Zhongshan in Guangdong, which was also the hometown of Sun Yat-sen and Lu Haodong. Yeung entered the Canton Academy of Mathematics (廣州算學館) in 1886. In 1888, he went to Hong Kong and stayed at Yeung Yiu Kee (楊耀記), his family shop on Gough Street, Sheung Wan.
In 1890, Yeung introduced
Qing Dynasty, and were collectively called the Four Bandits
by their neighbours.
When Sun graduated in 1892, he had to borrow money from
Shekkei, Heungshan, and Yeung sold a building in Rua Central
to support him. In 1896, Yeung's father died to leave him some properties in Heungshan, Hong Kong and Macau; he would later sell all these properties to finance anti-Qing revolution.
Later, Yeung worked at the China Daily founded by
Republic of China Government
. When Sun Yat-sen established the Government in Canton in 1921, the Three Bandits were appointed as Sun's consultants, but Yeung resigned and returned to Macao after several months. In 1923 Sun re-established the Canton Government and appointed Yeung as the special investigator in Hong Kong and Macau. After Sun's death in 1925, Yeung returned to Macau.
Yeung died in Macau on 29 August 1934 and was buried at Cuiheng Village, Zhongshan, Guangdong.
