July 22, 1911: San Francisco - Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, with a purported $325,000 bounty on his head from the Chinese government, visited the Chinese community in San Francisco. The head of the Young China movement stayed for some time, disregarding Chinese spies and government inspectors. The purpose of the visit was to strengthen the Chinese Revolutionary movement by uniting different Chinese social and political groups.

The secret organization was gaining strength inside China, lead by the Western educated doctor, who sought a representative government for the Chinese people,
currently led by the Qing or Manchu Emperor Puyi, and ruled by his regent the Dowager Empress Longyu. The doctor surreptitiously moves throughout the United States, strengthening his forces and instigating disturbances, such as that reported in Shantung.
One example of a reported meeting was with the Gee Gong Tong, the ancient Chinese Masonic Society, that had recently adopted the constitutional ideas of the Young China leaders..
