==Early life== [[File:Full View of the Former Villa of Lin Sen 2011-12.jpg|thumb|Former villa of Lin Sen in [[Nanjing]].]] Born to a middle-class family in {{ill|Shanggan Township|zh|ε°εΉ²ι}} (ε°εΉΉι), [[Minhou County]], [[Fuzhou]], Lin was educated by American missionaries. He later worked in the Telegram Bureau of [[Taipei]], [[Taiwan under Qing rule|Taiwan]] in 1884. After the [[First Sino-Japanese War]], he engaged in [[guerrilla]] activities against the Japanese occupiers. He returned to China and worked in the [[Shanghai]] customs office in 1902. He later lived in [[Hawaii]] and [[San Francisco]]. There he was recruited by the [[Tongmenghui]] in 1905, and was an overseas organizer for the [[Kuomintang]]. During the [[Xinhai Revolution]], he was in charge of the [[Jiangxi]] revolt. He became speaker of the senate in the [[National Assembly (Beiyang government)|National Assembly]]. After the failed [[Second Revolution (Republic of China)|Second Revolution]] against President [[Yuan Shikai]], Lin fled with [[Sun Yat-sen]] to Japan and joined his [[Chinese Revolutionary Party]]. He was sent to the United States to raise funds from the party's local branches. In 1917, he followed Sun to [[Guangzhou]] where he continued to lead its "extraordinary session" during the [[Constitutional Protection Movement]]. When the assembly defected to the [[Beiyang government]], he remained with Sun and later served as governor of Fujian. Lin was a member of the right-wing [[Western Hills Group]] based in Shanghai. The group was formed in Beijing shortly after Sun's death in 1925. They called for a party congress to expel the [[Communist Party of China|Communists]] and to declare social revolution as incompatible with the Kuomintang's national revolution. The party pre-empted this faction and the ensuing congress expelled Western Hills' leaders and suspended the membership of the followers. They supported [[Chiang Kai-shek]]'s [[Shanghai massacre|purge of the communists]] in 1927. Lin rose to become the leader of the Western Hills faction and undertook a world tour after the demise of the Beiyang government.
