This was in reference to her second son, Pang Nam Gang (\u65b9\u5357\u5ca1), whose story was recorded in Feng Ziyou\u2019s <strong><em>\u201cAnecdotal History of the Revolution\u300a\u9769\u547d\u9038\u53f2\u300b\u201d<\/em><\/strong> published in 1948.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Although two of Mdm Chng\u2019s sons passed away before her, the names of all her sons were inscribed on her grave: Siao Cheok\u5c11\u77f3 (deceased), Nam Gang \u5357\u5ca1 (matyred), Chee Dong \u4e4b \u68df, Huai Nam \u61f7\u5357, Chee Cheng \u4e4b\u6968.

However, he spurned the traditional path of becoming a mandarin and chose to pursue his studies in Japan. There, he joined the <em><strong>Tongmenghui.<\/strong> <\/em>Deeply committed to overthrowing Manchu rule, he devoted his time outside of studies to learning how to make bombs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In 1905, Pang and eleven of his compatriots in Japan were ordered by Sun Yat-Sen to return to China to assist in the Huang Gang uprising in the Teochew region. Injured while preparing bombs, he was brought to Hong Kong and hospitalised, hence missed out on the action. When the uprising petered out, Pang decided to join his uncle who was a local governor in <em><strong>Gansu,<\/strong><\/em> with the intention of seeking opportunities to incite the local Hui people to rise against the Qing. His uncle was initially pleased to see his nephew, but flew into a rage when word reached him that Pang was a revolutionary. Locked up by his uncle, Pang escaped with the help of other relatives, stealing two horses and riding to <em><strong>Hankou,<\/strong><\/em> where he sold the horses and boarded ship for Japan to continue his studies. Eventually, he made his way to Penang where he became the editor of the<strong><em> Kwang Wah Yit Poh<\/em><\/strong> newspaper which was linked to the <strong><em>Tongmenghui.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><em>The young revolutionary could not sit still for long. When news of the successful 1911 uprising in Wuhan reached the Nanyang, Pang rushed back to China where he raised a fighting force in his home county of Pho Leng. When Yuan Shikai was elected the first President of the nascent Chinese Republic, Pang felt that Yuan could not be trusted as he had too many links with the old regime. Disgruntled, he returned to Penang where he took up his old job at the newspaper.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Pang&#8217;s worst fears came true in 1915 when Yuan Shikai assumed the title of Emperor. This time, he could no longer abide the situation and returned to China again to fan the flames of revolution. Unfortunately, he was captured in Macau by Yuan Shikai\u2019s agents and smuggled across the border and imprisoned. At first, he assumed a false identity and did not divulge any information even under torture. However, his fervent preaching of revolutionary ideas to his fellow prisoners gave him away and he was summarily executed. So perished a martyr of the Chinese Revolution at the age of 29.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9985\" style=\"width: 371px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Portrait.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9985\" class=\"wp-image-9985 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Portrait.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Pang Nam Gang (reproduced from the book \u201cThe Teochews in Penang: A Concise History\u201d by Mr Tan Kim Hong)\" width=\"361\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Portrait.jpg 361w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Portrait-186x300.jpg 186w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Portrait-198x320.jpg 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo of Pang Nam Gang (reproduced from the book \u201cThe Teochews in Penang: A Concise History\u201d by Mr Tan Kim Hong)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_9986\" style=\"width: 446px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Home.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9986\" class=\"wp-image-9986 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Home.jpg\" alt=\"The house of Pang Nam Gang in Pho Leng (taken from the site \u65b9\u76ca\u68ee\u7684\u535a\u5ba2 http:\/\/blog.sina.com.cn\/s\/blog_756c1ab90101ipv2.html)\" width=\"436\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Home.jpg 436w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Home-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fanangang-Home-239x320.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The house of Pang Nam Gang in Pho Leng (taken from the site \u65b9\u76ca\u68ee\u7684\u535a\u5ba2 http:\/\/blog.sina.com.cn\/s\/blog_756c1ab90101ipv2.html)<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Mdm Chng\u2019s obituary also mentioned that her three surviving sons were active in the areas of\u00a0 journalism, education and social works. Her youngest son, Pang Chee Cheng (\u65b9\u4e4b\u6968), was in the limelight as well for his involvement in politics. A journalist, he was a KMT cadre who actively canvassed support for the party as one of the main committee members of the Nanyang branch headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>In 1930, Sir Cecil Clementi became the Governor of the Straits Settlements. He had a dislike of the KMT due to its instigations of strikes during his previous posting in Hong Kong. On the day that he arrived and assumed office in Singapore, it was unfortunate that the KMT Nanyang branch headquarters chose to hold its general meeting at the same time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">One of the first acts of the Governor was to summon the KMT representatives to his office where he told them in no uncertain terms that the KMT was not allowed to operate local branches in the Straits Settlements and Malaya. A few months later, the Governor upped the ante by issuing orders to deport Pang Chee Cheng and another KMT stalwart; well aware of the situation, they left on their own for China first.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Quiet diplomacy between the British and Chinese governments behind the scenes eventually led to the deportation orders being rescinded. In later years, Pang Chee Cheng was based largely in China where he was active in the <strong><em>Overseas Community Affairs Council (\u50d1\u52d9\u59d4\u54e1\u6703)<\/em><\/strong> set up by the Nationalist government.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Pang Chee Cheng often met with renowned personalities of the day. So it was that when the Indian poet Tagore visited in 1927, Chee Cheng arranged for him to travel to Muar and visit Zhonghua School (\u4e2d\u83ef\u5b78\u6821, a forerunner to today\u2019s \u4e2d\u5316), where Tagore was received by his brother Pang Chee Dong (\u65b9\u4e4b\u68df) who was the principal then.\u00a0 A graduate of a university in Beijing, Chee Dong was successively principals of Chinese medium schools in Kajang, Muar and Batu Pahat. In 1933, he may have worked as editor of a Chinese newspaper in Rangoon as well.<\/strong> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After the Japanese invaded, he perished during Sook Ching in Singapore, leaving behind his widow and 2 sons.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9987\" style=\"width: 221px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fang-Zhi-Dong.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9987\" class=\"wp-image-9987 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fang-Zhi-Dong.jpg\" alt=\"A short biography of Pang Chee Dong in the 8th anniversary commemorative publication of the Nanyang Pho Leng Hui Kuan published in 1948.\" width=\"211\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fang-Zhi-Dong.jpg 211w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Fang-Zhi-Dong-116x320.jpg 116w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A short biography of Pang Chee Dong in the 8th anniversary commemorative publication of the Nanyang Pho Leng Hui Kuan published in 1948.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"null\">The fourth son Pang Huai Nam (\u65b9\u61f7\u5357) was the first editor of Nanyang Siang Pau (\u5357\u6d0b\u5546\u5831) established by Tan Kah Kee in 1923. Slightly less than a month into its publication, he left the newspaper as the Straits Settlements authorities found his writing too political for their liking. He was also a committee member of the Poit Ip Huay Kuan and principal of Choon Guan School. It was mentioned in Phua Chay Leong&#8217;s &#8220;The Teochews in Malaya&#8221; that he shared the same sad fate as his elder brother Chee Dong during Sook Ching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mentioned as well in Mdm Chng\u2019s obituary was one of her grandsons, Pang Say Hua (\u65b9\u601d\u6cd5). Born in Singapore to her eldest son, he was \u201cfostered\u201d to his uncle Pang Nam Gang; his father was convinced that his second brother would come to no good end with his revolutionary ways and hence it was better that he had a son to his name. Pang Say Hua went back to China to study and subsequently became a signaler in the Nationalist Army. He was one of the many caught up in the tumult of the times. Due to his\u00a0 background, he suffered after the Communists took over, being imprisoned for over ten years. After his release, he worked at various jobs and retired in 1980. His story became known when a civic organisation in the Teochew region which sought to recognize veterans of the Sino-Japanese War found him and publicised his story.<\/p>\n<p>Single for life, he attended church regularly and spent his last days in a Christian old folks\u2019 home where his favourite pastime was to watch Teochew opera. He died in Jan 2015, a month after he celebrated his 104th birthday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Source: http:\/\/www.stcd.com.cn\/html\/2013-09\/21\/content_464908.htm<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Mdm Chng of the Pang Family \u2013 A Mother of Journalists, Educationists and Revolutionaries by Ang Yik Han Located at Hill 4 in Bukit Brown, the Teochew style tomb of Mdm Chng of the Pang family (\u65b9\u6bcd\u838a\u592a\u592b\u4eba) is simple and nondescript.\u00a0 A sharp-eyed observer will notice however that the calligraphy on the tombstone came from the hand of Lin Sen (\u6797\u68ee), Chairman, of the ruling pre war Nationalist government in China.
