the sun yant-sen memorial hall

sun yat-sen was the forerunner of the chinese bourgeois

democraticrevolution. he was born on november 12, 1886 in a

farmer’s family in the cuiheng village in xiangshan county in

guangdong province. at the age of 12, he went to honolulu,

where his elder brother sent him to a missionary school. later,

he came back to hongkong to sudy in a college of western

medicine and, after graduation, practiced medicine in

guangzhou and macao. so, ever since he was a child, he had

been influenced by the western ideas of christianity and

democracy and this had helped him make up his mind to cure

the ills of the old feudal china and turn it into a democratic and

strong nation. at first, he had illusions about the qing

government and hoped to save this moribund regime through

reforms. but, china’s defeats by foreign invaders and the

corruption and incompetence of the qing government

intensified his patriotic indignation. he decided that the qing

court was rotten to the core and must be overthrown and

replaced by a democratic republic.

so, in 1894, together with some twenty chinese shop- keepers

and farm-owners in honolulu, he established the first chinese

bourgeois revolutionary organization

—

the society for the

revival of china. in the following spring, he returned to

hongkong and staged

the first armed uprising against th qing dynasty in guangzhou;

but it ended in failure. then, in 1905, he went to japan, where he

founded china’s first political party called “china revolutionary

league”, which later developed into the national

ist party. since

then he had made successive attempts to topple the qing

regime and finally succeeded in the wuchang uprising that

broke out in october 1911. the qing regime was overthrown

and he was elected the provisional president of the interim

government of the republic of china in nanjing. this political

power, however, was soon taken over by the warlords. then in

1920, sun yat-sen came back to guangzhou to set up a new

government called the south revolutionary gvernment. in 1921,

he proclaimed his extraordinary presidency in guangzhou. in

1925, he died of illness in beijing and was buried later in

nanjing.

sun yat-sen had devoted all his life to the cause of the chinese

democratic revolution, and the 1911 revolution he led had put

an end to the feudal monarchy that had existed in china for

several thousand of years. to commemorate his great

contributions to the chinese revolution, people of guangzhou

had this memorial hall built in 1929-1931, at the original site of

the former presedential house of the south revolutionary

government, which was burned down in 1922 by a rebel

warlord,chen jiongming by name.

the sun yat-sen memorial hall is an octagonal palace- like

reinforced concrete structure, 58 meters high with a floor

space of 12 thousand square meters. it looks like a traditional

chinese palace in appearance but was constructed with

modern architectural technique. in front of the hall stands a

bronze statue of sun yat-sen, which is 5.5 meters high and

weighs 3.9 tons. up on the facade below one of the eaves is

written sun yat-

sen’s motto, meaning “china belongs to the

people” in english. inside the building is a conference hall with

a seating capacity of 3,238 people. and, thanks to the

ingenious designing of the architect, the acoustics of the hall

are excellent and there is no pillar to obstruct the spectator’s

view because the eight pillars sustaining the four long-

spanned steel trusses supporting the huge dormed roof, are

hidden in the walls. today, the sun yat-sen memorial hall is still

one the main places for mass meetings or theatrical

performances in guangzhou.

at the back of the hall, there is a 2-storied building on each

side. in the backyard are planted over 70 species of trees and

flowers. among them a kapok tree is already over 300 hundred

years old and the two magnolia trees on both sides of the

garden are over 70 years old these two mognolia trees are the

oldest magolia trees in guangzhou and have grown up to 90

centimeters in diameter, each giving a shade of over 200

square meters.

the magnificent sun yat-sen memorial hall was designed by a

young chinese architect, by the name of lu yan-zhi, who was

born in tianjin, graduated from the qinghua university in

beijing and later studied architecture in the cornell university

in the usa. he died of lung cancer in 1929, at the age of 36,

before the hall was completed.

【孙中山纪念铜像】

堂前矗立着孙中山纪念铜像。在

19 45

年以前，纪念堂只建有这个

底座而没有铜像。在

年春天，中山大学把校内的孙中山铜像借

给纪念堂安放在这里。直到

1956

年，雕塑家尹积昌等人创作 了孙中

山的全身铜像放在这里，原来的铜像才送还给中山大学。尹积昌所

造的孙中山铜像一共有

4

个，其中

3

个在广东。除了这一个之外，

一个在黄埔军校，一个在中 山医科大学，另一个在南京的中山陵。

这个铜像的造型是有讲究的

--

孙中山的左手用三只手指叉腰，代表着

民族、民权、民生 三民主义，右手用五只手指拄着拐杖，代表着五

权宪法。铜像寓意深刻，

可见创作者的心思是非常细密的。底座上

面刻着国民 政府建国大纲。上面写有三民主义、五权宪法和建党程

序的具体内容。

，高插 云天，雄伟俊挺，它的八角形底座超过一个人的

高度，柱顶祥云缭绕，显得气派非凡，庄 严肃穆。云鹤华表上刻着

许多奇怪的条纹，形状有点像龙。上面有许多鹤飞来飞去，这就 是

起这个名字的原因。
