The Four Bandits, Four Outlaws (Chinese: 四大寇) or the Four Desperados (清末四大寇) was a nickname given to a 19th-century group of four young students in Hong Kong who were keen on discussing the current issues in China, and aspired to overthrow the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The four bandits were Yeung Hok-ling, Sun Yat-sen, Chan Siu-bak and Yau Lit.[1][2] "Yeung Yiu Kee" (楊耀記), Yeung's family shop located at 24 Gough StreetinHong Kong, used to be the meeting place of the bandits.[3] One of the Four Bandits, Sun Yat-sen later became the leader of China Revolutionary Alliance and the first Provisional President of the Republic of China. At the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum, statues made out of wax were made of the exact picture taken.
