The Huaxinghui (traditional Chinese: 華興會; simplified Chinese: 华兴会; pinyin: Huáxīng Huì; Wade–Giles: Hua-hsing hui), commonly translated as the China Revival Society[1] or China Arise Society,[2] was founded by Huang Xing and Zhang Shizhao on 15 February 1904 with the election of Huang Xing as its president,[3] in Changsha of Hunan[4] for the explicit political goal of overthrowing the Qing dynasty[5] and establishing a democratic and free country. Many of its members later became key figures of the Tongmenghui.
