Biographyedit
Sun Mei was born into the Sun family on December 6, 1854, as Sun Deming (孫德彰). The Sun family were from Cuiheng village. Sun Mei left China for Hawaii in pursuit of economic opportunity in 1871, aged 17.
While in Hawaii, Sun ran the Kahului General Store and became a successful rancher.[2] Although he at one time held over 100 properties on Oahu and Maui, Sun Mei eventually sold all of his properties and businesses to support his brother's revolution. [3]
In 1907, Sun Mei left Hawaii and returned to China to assist his brother's revolutionary activities. He retired to Macau, where he passed away on February 11, 1915.[4]
