IT’S HISTORY
Published 2 Sep 2015

Sun Yat-sen is known as the “father of modern China”. He spent his adult life fighting against imperial China and the ruling Qing dynasty. First as revolutionary leader and later as politician. He founded the Tongmenghui League in 1905 and supported rebellions in China. After the Wuchang Uprising, Sun handed over the presidential office for the Republic of China to Yuan Shikai who soon after would ban Sun’s political party, the Kuomintang. So he reformed it as China’s National People’s party. His military and political work laid the groundwork from which his successors would later call out the People’s Republic of China.

Mao Zedong, Wang Jingwei, and Chiang Kai-shek – the Snap, Crackle, and Pop of 1920’s China.

Indy decided to write some lyrics about them, God alone knows why … but it’s a concise analysis of those three comrades and comrades in arms of Sun Yat Sen.

For context, I’ve posted a series of videos from Extra History on Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and TimeGhost is currently covering the history of China’s post-monarchy period (see the next video for more of that). I also have tags for Mao Zedong (aka Mao Tse-tung in my youth) and Chiang Kai-Shek, should you want to dig a bit deeper. I also denounce myself for laughing-out-loud at the Rice Krispies joke in the description.

Sun’s attempts to found democracy in China were thwarted by the chaos of the authoritarian warlords who still stayed around. But, inspired by the youth of the New Culture Movement, and (surprisingly) Soviet Russia’s aid, he pressed on, and history would remember him as “the Forerunner of the Democratic Revolution.”

Growing up in Honolulu, Sun Yat-sen had an expansive, exciting education, which would inspire him when he moved to Hong Kong as a young adult ready to change the world as a doctor — and as the leader of the “Revive China Society” interested in overthrowing the Qing government.

Sun Yat-sen was a dangerous man. The Qing were right to fear him. After all, he’d bring 2,000 years of imperial rule crashing down.
