Notables: Yuan Hung Named President of Chinese Republic
Yuan Hung, succeeding Yuun Sith Kai, will hold office until October 2017. Born fifty two years ago in Hupeh, his career spans naval service, army command, and fortifications study in Japan. A protege of Viceroy Chamy Obitung, he aided Wuchang revolution efforts and led revolutionary forces at Shanghai talks. As vice president and chief of staff he opposed autocratic prerogatives, aiming for a constitutional tenure with a Gao-like presidency inspired by French and American models.
