Yat-sen Sun

Born in 1866, Sun Yat-sen trained in medicine before devoting himself to revolution. He became one of the leading figures opposing the Qing dynasty and played a central role in the movement that led to the 1911 Revolution.

After the fall of the Qing, he served as the provisional first president of the Republic of China. Although his time in office was brief, his political vision and organizing work made him one of the most influential Chinese figures of the early 20th century.

Sun died in 1925, but his legacy continued far beyond his lifetime. He is still widely remembered for his role in reshaping modern China, and his life has remained important in both historical writing and political memory.
