Biography

Liang Shiyi was born in Sanshui, Guangdong in 1869. In the Qing dynasty, he was put in charge of railways, the most profitable ministry of the government. This allowed him to create the influential Communications Clique. He was a close supporter of Yuan Shikai, served as his finance minister, and supported Yuan during the National Protection War.

After Yuan's death, President Li Yuanhong ordered the arrest of the eight top monarchists of Yuan's regime, this caused Liang to flee to Hong Kong. He returned in 1918 to run for the National Assembly of the Republic of China.

His Communications Clique was a distant second compared to Duan Qirui's Anfu Club but nevertheless he became speaker of the Senate. He then became premier when Jin Yunpeng was forced to resign in December 1921.

His month-long premiership was the subject of dispute between his supporter, Zhang Zuolin, and his detractor, Wu Peifu. When Wu forced his resignation, it caused the First Zhili-Fengtian War. The Northern Expedition forced him to flee once again to Hong Kong in 1928 ,then he shuttled between Shanghai and Hongkong for coping with the Japanese invaded Manchuria1931,for tired of those ,he died at Shanghai in 1933.
