He was revered by Grandpa Kee Seng and we were taught to revere him as the Father of Modern China. Grandfather told us girls that we had Dr Sun Yat-sen to be able to walk around without suffering the pain of binding our feet. He freed the girls and banned food binding. Before that girls at 3 had their feet broken and bound so they have their "gold Lotuses" and men like their 3 inch feet.
The more I write about my ancestry, the deeper I get into my roots and discover that I have Chinese blood flowing in me. I appreciate Chinese music and listening and watching Chinese news.
Here is Jackie Chan singing he loves his country. It is a beautiful song.

Sun Yat-sen (12 November 1866 – 12 March 1925)[1][2] was a Chinese revolutionary, first president and founding father of the Republic of China ("Nationalist China"). As the foremost pioneer of Republic of China, Sun is referred to as the "Father of the Nation" in theRepublic of China (ROC), and the "forerunner of democratic revolution" in the People's Republic of China. Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of the Qing dynasty during the Double Ten Revolution. Although he was in St. Louis, Missouri at the time,[3] he was appointed to serve as president of the Provisional Republic of China, when it was founded in 1912. He later co-founded theKuomintang (KMT), serving as its first leader.[4] Sun was a uniting figure in post-Imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered amongst the people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
