About Qin Zhen

Qin Zhen (; 1885 – 18 April 1947) was a Chinese politician.

Life and career A native of Taoyuan County, Qin was born Daorang and known by the courtesy name Liming. He met Song Jiaoren and Hu Ying (revolutionary) in 1899. Qin attended Changde First Middle School, but was expelled after refusing to swear allegiance to the Qing dynasty. Subsequently, Qin completed his schooling in Japan and joined the Huaxinghui. He returned to Taoyuan, married Song Zhizhao, and left for Japan, where he became a member of the Tongmenghui.

The Tongmenghui sent Qin back to China, where he attended the funeral of Chen Tianhua and other revolutionaries.

Released after the Wuchang Uprising, Qin joined the Progressive Association and was active in the Xinhai Revolution.
