Description

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Guangzhou, China. Sun Yat-sen (Nov 12, 1866-March 12, 1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and political leader often referred to as Father of Modern China. He played an instrumental role in the eventual collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. Sun was an uniting figure in post-Imperial China, and remains unique amongst 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered in both Mainland China and Taiwan (Wikipedia). This picture was taken in January 1996 and later scanned. Thank you for viewing and commenting on my recent uploads, Sig...

I remember him from history. 1911 never really stuck. What was happening in Taiwan then?

Thanks for the photo and history. Its always interesting to read of the hero's that tear down and those that build and the differences of how history treats them.

Excellent pov you chose here Sig, showing the statue fully and the hall behind, I really like Chinese architecture, a very flamboyant style I think. I agree with thevolunteer's remark regarding places not visited in person #;0). Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
