Goo Kim Fui
Goo Kim Fui (1835–1908) was a prosperous and influential Chinese merchant, community leader, and philanthropist. He was a defender of the Chinese people〔Russ, William Adam: ''The Hawaiian Republic, 1894-98, and Its Struggle to Win Annexation'', page 171-172. Susquehanna University Press, 1961. ()〕 during the anti-Chinese agitation in Honolulu in the 1880s and played an instrumental role in uniting the local Chinese people. Goo's efforts to protect their rights from anti-Chinese prejudices meant that many Chinese were able to prosper in their work and living.〔Gerber, James and Guang, Lei: ''Agriculture and Rural Connections in the Pacific, 1500–1900'', page 192. Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2006. ()〕
Goo Kim Fui met the young Sun Yat-sen when Sun was studying in Hawaii. They both shared the same Christian faith〔(Sun Yat-sen's Christian Schooling in Hawai`i )〕 and were friends with the same pastor, (Sit Moon ). As Chinese Vice-Consul to Hawaii, Goo was able to help Sun obtain travel visas to Honolulu. Later, Goo and other members of his church financially supported Sun in his efforts to overthrow the Qing dynasty in 1911. Goo Kim Fui fully supported Sun Yat-sen's revolution toward a modern China and shared similar ideals.
== Early life ==
Goo Kim Fui was born in 1835 in Mei Xian of the Guangdong province of China to a Hakka family. In his early 20s, he went to Southeast Asia to pursue new business opportunities, but in 1866, he decided to go to Hawaii to establish himself there and expand his businesses. Goo knew the English language well and was very successful in networking with the local tradesmen. In a few years, he became one of the wealthiest and prosperous merchants in Honolulu.〔(''The Overland Monthly'', page 474. Samuel Carson, 1898 )〕
