Wang Zhongsheng

Wang Zhongsheng (1874? – 2 December 1911) was a Qing dynasty dramatist, official, and revolutionary. He founded the Spring Sun Society, one of China's earliest troupes dedicated to the performance of the modern spoken drama, which came from the west and differed considerably from the traditional Chinese theatre, or Chinese opera.

In this Chinese name, the family name is Wang.

He was executed as a rebel 29 days before the founding of the Republic of China (1912–1949).
