Who was Huang Zunxian?

Huang Zunxian, courtesy name Gongdu, was a Chinese official, scholar, and writer, active during the late Qing Dynasty. As a poet he published more than a hundred poems. He was born in Jiayingzhou, now Mei County, Guangdong, and died 57 years later in the same place. His game-changing contributions to China made him a recognised figure of his time, and a namesake foundation has been established in his honour. Huang's former residence is now marked as a public museum.
