君武

When the Tongmeng Group was first established, another key person in the drama was Ma Junwu (馬君武).

In short, Ma wrote the first draft of the Constitution for the Group.

Contrary to many of his contemporary part members, Ma had a remarkable western education. He studied French in Guangzhou. Next he obtained a Bachelor in Science from the University of Kyoto (his major subject was chemistry). After a few years of work, he then moved to Berlin and got a doctor degree in engineering.

As to the modern China, Ma played a curious role. Being a founding member of the Tongmeng Group, he did not take much part in the Xinhai revolution, but he was responsible for writing the Provisional Government Memorandum (臨時政府組織大綱) and the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China (中華民國臨時約法) in 1911. Some years later, however, he left Nanjing and joined the Beiyang Government (北洋政府) to become the Chief Justice and then Minister of Education - a decision for which he was dismissed from the Chinese Nationalist Party immediately.

PS. In addition to writing the Constitution, Ma was also the first who translated The Communist Manifesto (共產黨宣言) of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels into Chinese.
