On this Day in Chinese History; 12 March

This day, 12 March, in 1925, the great revolutionary pioneer Dr. Sun Yat-sen passed away in Beijing. He had devoted his life to the revitalisation and prosperity of the Chinese nation, actively seeking to end China’s unequal status in the world. In his decree as Prime Minister, Sun wrote, “We must arouse the people and unite the nations of the world which treat us as equals to fight together”.
