In a solemn ceremony held in Beijing's Zhongshan Park, hundreds gathered to mark 100 years since the passing of Sun Yat-sen, the visionary revolutionary and statesman who reshaped Chinese history.
At exactly 10:30 a.m., attendees observed a moment of respectful silence and bowed three times in front of Sun's statue. Representatives from the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Chinese Kuomintang Central Committee, the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, as well as officials from Beijing, presented floral baskets as heartfelt tributes.
Sun Yat-sen, born in 1866 and passing in 1925, is celebrated for his leading role in the 1911 Revolution that ended over 2,000 years of feudal rule. His enduring influence continues to inspire young global citizens, business and tech enthusiasts, and thought leaders across the globe.
This centennial commemoration not only reflects on a pivotal moment in history but also underscores the timeless appeal of visionary leadership and reform. The event resonated with a diverse audience, highlighting how past revolutionary ideals continue to shape modern perspectives on governance and societal progress.
