Born into a scholarly family, Cheng passed the imperial examination as a xiucai in the late Qing Dynasty. At the age of 19, he enrolled at the Lianghu Academy in Wuchang. In the 25th year of the Guangxu reign (1899), he was selected for a government-sponsored study program in Japan. While in Japan, he met Sun Yat-sen through the introduction of Zheng Keping. He agreed with Sun’s revolutionary ideals, actively participated in revolutionary activities, and joined the Revive China Society (Xingzhonghui) led by Sun. The following year, together with Ji Yihui, Qin Lishan, and others, he successively established organizations such as the Inspirational Society, the Kinship Association, and the Youth Association...
