We found this statue in Columbus Park, Chinatown and we had no idea who this monument is to. Designed by Lu Chun-Hsiung and Michael Kang from 2019.After browsing internet I found that inspired by the American Revolution he envisioned a free and democratic China and became a pioneer in its reform. He founded the Hsing-Chung Hui (Revive China Society), a secret revolutionary organization in Hawaii, and organized the T'ung-Meng Hui (Revolutionary Alliance). He traveled widely to other countries promoting his philosophy. In 1911, he and his allies overthrew the repressive regime, ending 5,000 years of Chinese imperial rule.Dr. Sun was elected the first Provisional President of the Republic of China, and established the organizational rule of government and the country’s laws. But his term in office was only about a year as military officers forced him to step down. He continued to fight for a free and unified China, proclaiming his Three Principles of the People - Nationalism, Democracy, and the People's Livelihood as the country’s foundation. In China and throughout the world Dr. Sun is remembered for his bravery, wisdom, and dedication to the ideals of democracy.What a remarkable man he was and definitely should be remembered.
