Features: Sun Yat-sen was the pioneer of modern democratic revolution in China and a great democratic revolutionary. He dedicated his life to the Chinese revolution, achieving two major accomplishments. One was overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, which had ruled China for 268 years, thus ending the 2,133-year-old feudal monarchy system since Qin Shi Huang. The other was raising the banner of anti-imperialism and anti-warlordism, firmly implementing the "Alliance with Russia, Alliance with the Communists, and Supporting Peasants and Workers" policies, establishing the revolutionary united front of the Three Principles of the People and communism, and promoting the development of the domestic revolutionary wars. He experienced countless failures in his life but achieved the greatest success from them. In the dialectical unity of failure and success, he forged his character. Sun Yat-sen was great, yet ordinary. He was born a commoner and died a commoner, proving that greatness can be found in the ordinary. Let us walk into Sun Yat-sen, understand Sun Yat-sen, and him, him.
