Huang Xing was the pioneer of modern revolution. He and Sun Yat-sen made immortal feats for overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, and he was called "Sun Huang" by posterity.
However, many people may not know that Huang Xing's wife Xu Zonghan is also a great heroine.
Xu Zonghan was born in Zhuhai, Guangdong, and was born in Shanghai. Because of his wealthy family, he received a good education from an early age, with both civil and military skills.
In 1906, under the leadership of his second sister Xu Peiyao, Xu Zonghan came to Malaysia, joined the Tongmenghui here, met Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and started the revolution.
Xu Zonghan has strong language skills, excellent eloquence, coupled with her beautiful appearance, is very popular among overseas Chinese in Malaysia, and soon became the main force of the Tongmenghui.
In 1911, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Zhao Sheng and others planned the Guangzhou Uprising. At that time, Xu Zonghan was responsible for the preparation of guns and ammunition for the uprising.
However, Xu Zonghan has neither money nor raw materials to make bombs, and no technicians. What should I do? Xu Zonghan was not deterred by difficulties, so he raised funds without money, and taught himself without a technician. In this regard, she seemed to be talented, and she quickly learned it. She also trained other revolutionary party members to make explosives, packaged the guns and ammunition secretly bought, and prepared them to be shipped to Guangzhou.

The Qing army heard the wind of the revolution and checked the passing ships very well. Strictly, Xu Zonghan didn't panic, and took a few revolutionaries to transport the ammunition to Guangzhou.
At that time, Guangzhou City was more tightly guarded, Xu Zonghan found a paint firm as a cover, pretended to have a wedding here, hid the ammunition in the sedan chair of the marriage, and quickly transported it to various locations of the uprising, ensuring the ammunition for the uprising supply.
After the Guangzhou Uprising broke out, Xu Zonghan specially set up a women's stormtrooper to shuttle the wounded in various battlefields while fighting.
Huang Xing took the lead in attacking the Guangdong and Guangxi Governor’s Mansion and was seriously injured. Xu Zonghan risked his death to rescue him, cleverly disguised and sent him to another place for surgery.
At that time, family members had to sign for the operation, but where are Huang Xing's relatives? Besides, Huang Xing was in a coma and was in danger. He had to undergo an operation as soon as possible. Xu Zonghan had no choice but to tell the doctor that she was Huang Xing's wife and the operation was successfully completed.

Huang Xing was taken care of by Xu Zonghan during his recovery period. As a result, people developed feelings, and soon they became husband and wife.
From then on, the two began to fight side by side, and Xu Zonghan stayed with Huang Xing. Huang Xing once said to her friends: "She is not an internal helper, she is a partner and comrade-in-arms fighting side by side at all, and her ability is stronger than any man, especially better than me."
Wuchang uprising broke out Later, Huang Xing, who was in Shanghai, wanted to rush to Wuhan to command the battle and preside over the overall situation. However, at that time the Yangtze River defense line was still controlled by the Qing army and it was difficult to pass. At this time, Xu Zonghan contacted Zhang Zhujun, a female doctor and hero, and set up a medical team to go to Wuhan for rescue.
Huang Xing pretended to be a doctor, Xu Zonghan pretended to be a nurse, Song Jiaoren, Chen Guofu and other entourages, all pretending to be stretchers, deceived the Qing army for several inspections all the way, and finally arrived in Wuchang.
After arriving in Wuchang, Xu Zonghan helped Zhang Zhujun set up a field hospital to treat the wounded officers and soldiers. Later, when Shanghai recovered, Huang Xing wanted to return to Shanghai, and it was Xu Zonghan's design that fooled the Qing army, and Huang Xing was able to return to Shanghai.
Huang Xing died in 1916 due to years of revolution and overwork. He left Xu Zonghan alone, raising two children while continuing to engage in revolutionary activities, and devoted himself to the feminist movement and China’s public welfare undertakings for poor children.
After Chiang Kai-shek came to power, Xu Zonghan was very uncomfortable with his counter-revolutionary practices, so he united with He Xiangning and others to form the Kuomintang leftist and oppose Chiang and become a friend of our party.
After the September 18th Incident broke out, Xu Zonghan was suffering from a serious heart disease, but she ran around the world regardless of her body to collect donations for the Anti-Japanese Volunteers in the Northeast and transport all the proceeds to the Northeast.
After the full-scale Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, Xu Zonghan went all the way again, using his influence to raise donations, and spared no effort for the Chinese people's anti-Japanese cause.
Due to long-term overwork, Xu Zonghan died of a serious illness in 1944 and died in Chongqing at the age of 68.
In 2011, at the 100th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911, Xu Zonghan's hometown of Zhuhai, Guangdong, named her "the most influential Zhuhai woman in a century".
