●Recording Lin Sheng Zhong
In Zhenshan Village, Xieyang Township, Datian County, there was a late sage Lin Wanshan, who threw himself into the Xinhai Revolution in order to establish a democratic republic. Villagers say that when he was doing business in Nanyang, he had befriended Sun Yat-sen and then returned to his hometown to raise funds and participate in the restoration of Xiamen and serve as an inspector.
Nanyang joined the union and made a republic
Lin Wanshan, whose original name was Lin Xiasen, was born in the year of Gengchen (1880) of the Qing Dynasty. His wife, Chen Xundi, is 4 years younger than him, and they have 3 sons, named Ding Tu, Ding Yuan, and Ding Liu. The first two are "Sixteen-year-old Farewell" and "Yongchun County Prison Prisoner Farewell", ding liu has a son Lin Lirong. Lin Wanshan also has an elder brother named Lin Xiaxin, also known as Wanshi... These materials can be found in November of the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), when the two of them separated from the family, the "Book of Separation Lots", which included witnesses such as "parents", "house chiefs" and "township chiefs".
How many years Lin Wanshan lived, and what exactly he did, there is no record in the Lin family tree, and posterity is not clear. Lin Lirong recalled that Lin Wanshan was in his early 40s when he last returned to Xie Yang and died of illness more than a month later. Because the authorities did not know it, a few days later they also sent someone to send him a transfer order to inform him to go to Xiamen to take up his post. This letter of appointment is now missing, leaving behind the silver buttons on Lin Wanshan's clothes when he was an official, and a set of 9 tea cups and tea cups made of sterling silver.
According to a 76-year-old Lin Lirong in a 2015 interview with relevant authorities, his grandfather went to "Fanping" (another name in Southeast Asia) to join Sun Yat-sen's League, and the 18 brothers who worshiped together changed their names and wore the word "mountain". The live video of this interview is preserved in the Daejeon County Party History and Local History Research Office. The old man also said that Lin Xiasen's "Sen", the dialect pronunciation and "mountain" are the same. At that time, there were many people who xie yang "went over" to Malaysia to make a living, and Lin Hengshan joined the alliance in the same village. The two of them returned to their hometown to mobilize villagers to donate money to buy guns, but the effect of the activity was not satisfactory, and two guns and a pig raised by the villagers were robbed by bandits.
In order to prove that what he said was true and reliable, Lin Lirong called his neighbor Lin Lijin. The old man, who claimed to be in his 80s, said his grandfather and Lin Wanshan went to Nanyang at the same time, and that he was born in Malaysia and only returned to Xie Yang when he was 3 years old.
Another 83-year-old interviewee added that when he went to the home of Zheng Moulu in Jiefu Village, where Daejeon borders Yongchun and Zhangping, to work as a carpenter, he had seen a receipt stamped with a four-square seal that read, "120 yuan (silver yuan)".
There are many villages in Zhangping County that border Xie Yang, Jiefu Village is small, there are not many households, often harassed by bandits, and the villagers hope to be protected after donations. Therefore, Xie Yang, who is in the midst of thousands of mountains and valleys, not only has many people crossing the ocean because of the difficulty of making a living, but also the people are armed.
Guangfu Xiamen served as an inspector
The "Chronicle of Xiamen City" records Lin Wanshan as an inspector. The rank of inspector was not high, similar to that of the current inspector. Notes on the Twentieth Series of Tong'an Literature and History Materials: In the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), the Ministry of Justice ordered judicial reform, and liu Qingfang, who was stationed in Xiamen Xingquan Yongdao, set up a patrol coaching station, and set up the Xingquan Yong Patrol Police General Bureau in the Provincial Bureau, and appointed himself as the general supervisor of the General Bureau. Under the jurisdiction of the east and west sub-bureaus, 220 police officers... In the second year of Xuanun (1910), the statute of the local judicial police was promulgated, and the two sub-bureaus were changed to four districts, and the police duties were divided into six district chiefs, district members, police chiefs, inspectors, inspectors, and patrol officers.
After Lin Wanshan secretly joined the Nanyang League, he was sent back to China to prepare for the Xinhai Revolution. In the eighteenth series of "Xiamen Literature and History Materials", the witness Yau Laijing wrote that after the establishment of the Chinese League led by Sun Yat-sen in Tokyo, Japan, four branches were set up abroad, Nanyang, Europe, america, and Honolulu, and the Nanyang branch set up branches in the Philippines, Singapore and other countries to absorb progressive overseas Chinese into the party... Southern Fujian is the hometown of overseas Chinese, and Xiamen is the entry and exit port for overseas Chinese, which has become the goal of the development of the revolutionary movement of the League.
The League will be active in Xiamen, and there have been Huang Yunshan, Chen Jinfang and Zhang Haishan. On November 14, 1911, the rebels entered the West Gate and the South Gate in two teams and occupied the Titai Gate. The Xiamen military government was established, with Zhang Haishan as the commander, Qiu Ruming as the police chief, and Shao Zhenmao and Lin Wanshan as inspectors. However, unfortunately, due to the struggle between local factions, after the restoration, there was an internal disturbance in the struggle for political power, and the Fuzhou faction headed by Zhang Haishan was injured and killed many people. Sun Daoren, the governor of Fujian, appointed Yuan Hongkui as the Governor of Xiamen and established the Xiamen Council of Counselors.
Wang Yunqing, a participant in Guangfu Xiamen, also wrote in his memoirs: The main cadres of the various factions of the League held a meeting to discuss the establishment of a provisional political power. After discussion and resolution, a provisional government was established, and Zhang Haishan was elected as the provisional ruler, Qiu Ruming as the police chief, and Shao Zhenmao, Wu Yongfu, and Lin Wanshan as inspectors. The revolutionary armbands issued before the restoration were withdrawn, and each one was given silver yuan.

As for why he returned home again after 10 years and died of illness in his hometown, it is not known because there is no relevant information to support it. More historical stories about Lin Wanshan, due to the unfortunate death of Lin Lirong in early 2016, leaving many mysteries to be solved.
