EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Sun Yat Sen (1866-1925), the founding father of modern China and the first President of the Republic of China (ROC), is seen leaving Shanghai for Nanking to assume his position on March 10, 1912. Sun, dressed in a fur coat, stands at the center of the image, surrounded by his advisory military staff. The moment marks a pivotal turning point in Chinese history, as Sun had played an instrumental role in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty in October 1911, the last imperial dynasty of China. The success of the Wuchang Uprising in Hubei Province on October 10, 1911, sparked a wave of rebellions across China, leading to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty. Sun Yat Sen, who had been living in exile in Hawaii and Japan, returned to China to lead the new government. He was initially made the provisional president when the ROC was founded on January 1, 1912, but it wasn't until March 1912 that he officially assumed the role. The photograph captures the sense of anticipation and excitement as Sun Yat Sen embarks on his journey to Nanking to take his rightful place as the leader of the new Chinese republic. The image is a testament to the courage and determination of Sun and his followers in their quest for a democratic and modern China, free from the shackles of imperial rule. The photograph is an essential piece of Chinese and world history, offering a glimpse into the Eastern Revolution that brought about the end of the imperial era and the beginning of a new chapter in Chinese politics. The image is also a reminder of the profound impact that Sun Yat Sen had on shaping the course of Chinese history.
