A community portal about Sun Yat-sen with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Sun Yat-sen was a Chinese revolutionary and political leader often referred to as the " father of modern China ". Sun played an instrumental role in the eventual overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. He was the first provisional president when the Republic of China was founded in 1912. He later co-founded the Kuomintang where he served as its first leader. Sun was a uniting figure in post-imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered in both mainland China and Taiwan.
