Who fired the first shot in the Huanggang Uprising?

The first shot of the Huanggang Uprising was fired by Huang Xing, and the second and third shots were fired by him.

Many important revolutionary activities were initiated and personally participated by Huang Xing. He was born and died many times, and eventually became ill from overwork and died in middle age. He was the hero who overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty and founded the Republic of China.

Although he had differences with Sun Yat-sen during the revolution, he did not seize power but was willing to take second place and help him with all his strength. As his faction was neglected after the Northern Expedition, his major contributions, ideas and plans during his lifetime were also shelved for a long time. It was not until the 1990s that both sides of the Taiwan Strait began to pay attention to Huang Xing's achievements again.

Huang Xing's life was consistent with the entire Revolution of 1911. He was famous for instigating and leading armed uprisings.
