Publisher's Synopsis
Sun Yat-Sen: A Portrait is a biography written by Stephen Chen that provides a comprehensive account of the life and legacy of Sun Yat-Sen, a Chinese revolutionary and political leader who played a crucial role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The book traces Sun's early years as a child in rural China, his education in Hawaii and Hong Kong, and his political activism and leadership in the Chinese Revolutionary Alliance. It also explores Sun's vision for a modern, democratic China and his efforts to unify the country through the Three Principles of the People. The book delves into Sun's relationships with other key figures in Chinese history, including Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong, and his interactions with foreign powers such as Japan and the United States. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and interviews with Sun's descendants, Chen offers a fascinating and nuanced portrait of one of China's most important historical figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
