STORIES

Sun Yat-sen

by Betty from Taichung

Sun Yat-sen was a Chinese revolutionary, and founding father of the Republic of China

Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty during the years leading up to the Double Ten Revolution.

Sun Yat-sen, "Li Hong Zhang thousand words on the book" made a number of reform proposals have been refused Li Hong Zhang in 1894. Disappointed, on November 24 Sun Yat-sen went to Honolulu, Hawaii, to fundraise and organize the Revive China Society. Sun proposed the slogan "expulsion of the Manchus and restore China, the creation of united government" and planned to convey its ideological of eliminating the Qing Dynasty and then paved the way for the revolutionary cause.

Three Principles of the Constitution of the Republic of China was included in the master first. Since he founded the Republic of China, without him, there is no way we would be now living in a democratic country. He took the three powers, but that was not good, plus its own examination, monitoring two rights into the five rights. And we do not have a capability to distinguish between governments. He led our country to stability. Therefore, people in our country feel harmony.

Sun overthrew the Qing Dynasty, which was the last empire in Chinese history and created the first democracy in China. To convince the folk in a conservative country to believe in democracy, Sun needed to face the tremendous challenge. I think he is convincing and brave enough to to against the force and let China step into a whole new generation. For us, we  completely admire him from our hearts.
