Lin Juemin

before 1911

Lin Juemin (traditional Chinese: 林覺民; simplified Chinese: 林觉民; pinyin: Lín Juémín; Wade–Giles: Lin Chüeh-min; 1887–1911) was an early Qing dynasty revolutionary.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In 1907, Lin travelled to Japan to study, where he joined Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary group, the Tongmenghui. Lin attempted to begin a popular revolution in 1911 after returning to his native Fujian, but he was arrested and his revolution failed. He was remembered as a revolutionary martyr after his death.[11]

American artist Maya Lin is related to him.

On the eve of battle, he wrote the legendary "A Letter to My Wife" (與妻訣別書), later to be considered as a masterpiece in Chinese literature.[12]
