Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"The Hsing Chung Hui or Xingzhonghui translated as the Revive China Society (???), the Society for Regenerating China, or the Proper China Society was founded by Sun Yat-sen on 24 November 1894 to forward the goal of establishing prosperity for China and as a platform for future revolutionary activities. It was formed during the First Sino-Japanese War, after a string of Chinese military defeats exposed corruption and incompetence within the imperial government of the Qing dynasty. Kuomintang recognize the establishment of Revive China Society as the establishment of the party.
Because Sun was in exile from China at the time, the society was founded in Honolulu, Republic of Hawaii. [Wikipedia]
