Tsung Tsin Association is also known as Tsung Tsin Guild Hall, a famous Hakka organization in Hong Kong. It was established on September 29, 1921, originally nameed "Hong Kong Tsung Tsin Chamber of Commerce," and officially renamed "Tsung Tsin Association of Hong Kong." It is the largest Hakka organization and a main point of contact for the Hakka home and abroad.

Chen Shuhuan, the third son of Chen Jitang, had a lot of assets in Hong Kong, and was the founder of Guang Nan Fishing Company, having more than a dozen of new offshore fishing boats. In the 1960s, he had been to Taipei, had an audience with Chiang Kai-shek, and donated funds to Chinese Culture University to set up the "Bonan Library." Later, he moved to San Francisco, due to discord with Hong Kong authorities.
