China marked a historic moment Wednesday as hundreds gathered in Beijing’s Zhongshan Park to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the passing of Sun Yat-sen, the visionary who reshaped modern Chinese history. 🌸
The ceremony united representatives from political advisory bodies, the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang (RCCK), and local governments—all paying homage to Sun’s statue with floral tributes and three solemn bows. The park itself, named after Sun’s honorific title “Zhongshan,” echoed with quiet reverence as attendees reflected on his legacy.
Sun Yat-sen, often hailed as the “Father of Modern China,” spearheaded the 1911 Revolution that toppled feudal rule after two millennia. 🏮 His ideals of democracy and unity continue to inspire cross-strait dialogues today, bridging connections between the Chinese mainland and the Taiwan region.
“Sun’s dream was a strong, unified China,” noted a participant, underscoring the event’s resonance amid contemporary efforts to foster harmony. For young audiences, Sun represents not just history—but a blueprint for progress and collaboration across generations. 🌍
