Book excerpt: "In this study, the author traces the major influences shaping Dr. Sun's personality and delineates the main lines of his frustrated political life. Two neglected but important aspects are emphasized: his thirty-year fund-raising efforts among overseas Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and his largely unsuccessful attempts -- with a few startling exceptions -- to acquire support from each of the important foreign powers"--Jacket.
Book Synopsis Sun Yat-Sen, Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution by : Lee Lai To
Download or read book Sun Yat-Sen, Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution written by Lee Lai To and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In view of the 100th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution and Sun Yat-sen's relations with the Nanyang communities, the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies and the Chinese Heritage Centre came together to host a two-day bilingual conference on the three-way relationships between Sun Yat-sen, Nanyang and the 1911 Revolution in October 2010 in Singapore. This volume is a collection of papers in English presented at the conference. While there are extensive research and voluminous publications on Sun Yat-sen and the 1911 Revolution, it was felt that less had been done on the Southeast Asian connections. Thus this volume tries to chip in some original and at times provocative analysis on not only Sun Yat-sen and the 1911 Revolution but also contributions from selected Southeast Asian countries.
Book Synopsis Sun Yatsen, Robert Wilcox and Their Failed Revolutions, Honolulu and Canton 1895 by : Patrick Anderson
Download or read book Sun Yatsen, Robert Wilcox and Their Failed Revolutions, Honolulu and Canton 1895 written by Patrick Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-27 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamite on the Tropic of Cancer is the radical, explosive retelling of the first decade of the 'Father of Modern China' Dr Sun Yatsen’s globally shaped formation as a professional revolutionist, and of the impact of the adult Sun’s revolutionary relationship with Hawaiʻi and with his varied communities of supporters there during its own most turbulent political decade, the 1890s, years in which this remote island nation transformed from native monarchy, via sovereign independent republic, to become the USA’s first overseas territory. Drawn from neglected primary sources, Dynamite reveals the hitherto untold story of the secret revolutionary alliance forged in Honolulu’s backstreets between Sun’s Xingzhonghui and the idiosyncratic italophile soldier Robert Wilcox, "Hawaiʻi’s Garibaldi" and leader of the Kanaka/Native Hawaiian counterrevolution of January 1895. This failed uprising to restore Hawaiʻi’s tragic last Queen, witnessed firsthand by Sun Yatsen, became the archetype upon which ten months later Sun would base his own first attempt at armed insurrection in China: the Canton uprising of 26 October 1895. With an epic sweep across the Pacific’s Tropic of Cancer, Dynamite is the most important study yet written on the origins of Sun Yatsen’s Chinese Revolution and its dynamic interface with Hawaiian history.

Book Synopsis Political Leaders of Modern China by : Edwin Leung
Download or read book Political Leaders of Modern China written by Edwin Leung and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-10-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the individual characteristics of China's political leaders, a nation-building process began. Chinese leaders fell into two categories of reformers: conservative and liberal. Conservative reformers saw a corruption of the moral order of society that needed to be eliminated in order to restore the country's moral integrity, while liberal reformers attempted to embrace the flaws and lead China toward Socialism. One hundred Chinese leaders—from the Opium War to 2001—are profiled in this comprehensive biographical dictionary. This book provides the most up-to-date coverage of modern Chinese political leadership during the Imperial, Republican, and Communist periods. Political leaders throughout each period had a common desire for reform within the country while maintaining China's political and cultural legacy. Leung invokes the uniqueness of those leaders in their struggle for personal gain and national improvement as they fought to preserve traditional values. Written by 30 international scholars and experts in the field using both Western and Chinese sources, this is the most authoritative dictionary on the subject.

Book Synopsis The Birth of a Republic by : Hanchao Lu
Download or read book The Birth of a Republic written by Hanchao Lu and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's 1911 Revolution ended the rule of both the 267-year-old Manchu Qing dynasty and the more than 2,000-year-old imperial system, establishing Asia's first, if not lasting, republic. Because war correspondence was not an established profession in China and the camera was a rare apparatus in Chinese life at the time, photographs of the revolution are rare. Francis E. Stafford (1884-1938), an American working as a photographer for Asia's largest publishing company, Commercial Press in Shanghai, had unusual access to both sides of the conflict. The Birth of a Republic documents this tumultuous period through Stafford's photographic eye. Stafford trained his lens on the leaders of the revolutionaries, the imperial court, and the generals and foot soldiers, as well as on the common people. His images thus capture the stock in trade of war correspondents and photo journalists, but he also documented scenes of everyday life, from the streets of China's cities to the muddy lanes of its villages, from paddy rice fields to factory workshops, from open-air food markets to the inner chambers of Buddhist temples and Christian churches. His remarkable photographs reveal sweeping social and political change, as well as the tenacity of tradition. The 162 photographs presented here are from the collection of Stafford's grandson, Ronald Anderson, and are set in historical and cultural context through an interpretive introduction and extensive captions. This book will appeal to historians and general readers interested in modern China, revolution, and war.
