About 100 years ago in Penang, Dr Sun Yat Sen, the Father of Modern China, convened the plan for the 2nd Guangzhou Uprising, which is also known as the Canton Uprising which eventually leads to the 1911 Revolusion. To commemorate 100 years anniversary of the “Penang Meeting” which was on 13Nov2010, there is a pictorial exhibition of Dr Sun Yat Sen’s life journey during pre-1911 revolution and until his death in 1925.
The 1911 Revolution had a very close-linked with the overseas Chinese, including Penang and other South-east Asia Chinese, as they had very much supported the revolution through not only monetary contribution but also, joining to fight for a new China. Quite a number of the martyrs were from South-east Asia.
Next year, on 10October will be the 100 years anniversary of the 1911 revolution and of course, Modern China will be a century old !!!
