Overseas Chinese can be found all over the world. They played a very important role in the modern Chinese revolutionary movement. Sun Yat-sen is held in high esteem by overseas Chinese, especially the overseas Chinese in Nanyang (Southeast Asia). Overseas Chinese played a very important and critical role when Sun Yat-sen launched the revolutionary movement in China. They provided money, manpower and ideas as well. They supported Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities over a long period of time and ensured the success of the revolution in China. This study has two purposes. The first is to investigate the relationship between Penang and the "329 Battle of Guangzhou" and the importance of Penang in the Chinese revolutionary movement led by Sun Yat-sen. Secondly, this research analyzes the relationship between Hakka Chinese in Nanyang Penang and the "329 Battle of Guangzhou" launched by Sun Yat-sen. The study focuses on the following questions: Was there any relationship between the Nanyang Chinese, who established "Penang" as their stronghold, and the "329 Battle of Guangzhou" launched by Sun Yat-sen in 1911? What was the role played by Nanyang Chinese in the Chinese revolutionary movement led by Sun Yat-sen? What was the relationship between Sun Yat-sen and Hakka Chinese in Nanyang Penang? In particular, how did the ethnic-Hakka brothers Yi-Chiao Hsieh and Liang-Mu Hsieh play a critical role for Sun Yat-sen and the Nanyang Chinese revolutionaries? The historical research approach and the political science research approach is adopted in this study. The study finds a profound relationship between Sun Yat-sen and the Hakka Chinese in Nanyang Penang. Sun Yat-sen set up a revolutionary command center in Penang and held the "Penang Conference" there. For this reason, Sun Yat-sen had a very close relationship with the Nanyang Chinese revolutionaries, especially the ethnic-Hakka brothers Yi-Chiao Hsieh and Liang-mu Hsieh. The "Hakka factor" can be regarded as one of the key reasons why Penang became the "hotbed of the Chinese revolution."
