Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial



Today we visited the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial. Sun Yat-sen was born in 1866 in the Guangdong province. He was a leading figure in China's revolution against the Qing government and the first President of the Republic. In August 1905, he formulated the Three Principles of the People - nationalism, democracy, and social well-being - which he believed were the guidelines for building a modern China.

Above is a picture of Chloe and Mom and one of other USAsian Affairs adoptive families at the memorial. Boy, were we glad to get back on the air conditioned bus what humidity!
