[3] For her contributions in overthrowing the ruling dynasty in China, Sun Yat-sen personally met her and acclaimed her work and then she was awarded a second-class Order of the Precious Brilliant Golden Grain.

He was from the neighbouring village of Heye (Lotus Leaf), from an elite family well connected to another famous feminist leader of China, Qiu Jin.

She then returned to her parental family, though it was not customary to do so, (her feminist friends like Qiu Jin encouraged her to become independent) to the "Three Good Fortune Hall".

[6] In 1904, at the age of 33, she went to Japan to pursue her studies at Shimoda Utako's Practical Woman's School in Tokyo, which promoted conservative reformist ethos of "good wives and wise mothers."

She formed a circle of her old friends from China with similar ideology to bring about change in Chinese society and political scene.

In 1905, her revolutionary approach saw her learn the handling of weapons and bomb manufacture; the Russian anarchists were the trainers and Tang took up this training with zest and zeal, in which many of her feminist friends also took part.

Within the exile community, Tang, with her proficiency in political journalism, played a key role in giving a positive boost to the movement.

Other positive developments of the revolution was, children of both sexes attended in co-education classes, which helped them to establish their rights from a young age.

[9] Tang was very confident of her convictions and like her leader Sun Yat-sen, she would take to the political stage with courage to face even a hostile crowd and bring them all around to her line of thinking.

[10] In propagating her ideas, as a suffragist, Tang could, as a political strategist, adopt a “rigid or flexible” approach, could be “empathetic or furious”, and "analytical or impulsive” as the situation warranted.

[4] Apart from the Jiahe (Golden Harvest) Medal she was also honoured with the title of "heroine of her times" in 1991 by the former vice-chairman of the 5th CPPCC National Committee and honorary president of the All-China Women's Federation.
