Sun Yat-sen
1866 CE–1925 CE · Nanjing
Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and political leader widely regarded as a founding figure of modern China. After years of organizing revolutionary movements against the Qing dynasty from abroad, he became the first provisional president of the Republic of China in early 1912 following the 1911 revolution that ended more than two thousand years of imperial rule. He soon ceded the presidency to Yuan Shikai, co-founded and led the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang), and articulated his political philosophy of the Three Principles of the People; he is honored in both mainland China and Taiwan.
