[[File:Huangxing.jpg|right|thumb|320px|A monument to Huang Xing at the [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]] in [[Kagoshima]]]]
*''Died: 1916''
*''Chinese'': [[黄]]興 ''(Huáng Xīng)''
Huang Xing was a prominent figure in China's [[1911]] [[Xinhai Revolution]]. He is sometimes referred to as the [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori]] of China.
Born to a scholarly family in [[Changsha]], he was well educated in calligraphy, poetry, and other elite arts. He traveled to Japan in [[1902]] to study at Kôbun Gakuin, and there became involved in the "Society for the Revival of China" (華興會, ''Huáxīng Huì''), a group discussing possible democratic revolution against the [[Manchu]] [[Qing Dynasty]]. He also engaged with [[Sun Yat-Sen|Sun Yat-Sen's]] "Revive China Society" (興中會, ''xīng zhōng huì'') while there.
In [[1909]], he was invited to [[Kagoshima]] by [[Miyazaki Toten|Miyazaki Tôten]]. While there, he visited the [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]], and famously composed a poem about the experience, and about his admiration for Saigô Takamori; a monument to Huang stands today in the cemetery.
Huang died in 1916, and is buried in Changsha.
