- Our position is extremely perilous; if we do not earnestly promote nationalism and weld together our four hundred millions into a strong nation, we face a tragedy – the loss of our country and the destruction of our race. To ward off this danger, we must espouse nationalism and employ the national spirit to save the country.

Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925) was a pivotal Chinese revolutionary leader, often regarded as the “Father of Modern China.” Born in Guangdong, he was educated abroad and became determined to end the corrupt Qing Dynasty, which he viewed as an obstacle to China’s progress.
In 1894, Sun founded the Revive China Society, aiming to replace the monarchy with a republic. After failed attempts, he eventually led the 1911 Revolution, which overthrew the Qing Dynasty and established the Republic of China, making him a national hero.
Sun promoted his “Three Principles of the People” – nationalism, democracy, and people’s livelihood – which laid a framework for modern Chinese governance. Though he faced political setbacks, Sun united various factions under his vision, founding the Kuomintang (KMT) in 1919.
His influence transcended political boundaries, inspiring both the Chinese Nationalists and Communists. Sun Yat-sen’s legacy remains central to China’s pursuit of modernization and unity.
