Tan Yankai (1876-1930) was a Chinese politician from Hunan. A member of Liang Qichao's Constitutionalist Party, he campaigned for a parliament and restrained monarchy. As the party renamed itself the Progressive Party after the Xinhai Revolution, he was a major leader. He left and joined the Kuomintang and became military governor of his home province. His support for Sun Yatsen's attempt to overthrow President Yuan Shikai in 1913 led to his ouster. Wikipedia
