Today is the 146th anniversary of the birthday of Sun Yat-sen, the “Father of the Nation” in Republican China, and the “Great Forerunner of Democratic Revolution” in Communist China. Sun was one of major leaders in the protests against the Qing government, which eventually led to the Chinese revolution in 1911 and ended the imperial regime of China that had spanned for more than 2,000 years. There are huge amount of literature about Sun’s life and thoughts; he himself also left numerous writings.
