His father was a farmer, and Sun Yat-sen lived on the farm with his parents and 5 other siblings. His elder brother, Sun Mei, who was twelve years older than him had moved to Honolulu, Hawaii early in his childhood. When Sun Yat-sen turned nineteen, him and his mother traveled to Honolulu to meet up with his brother. In Hawaii, he was enrolled in Iolani School and learned English, Math and Science. Knowing absolutely nothing of the English language, he picked it up quickly, helping him learn the other subjects quicker as well. Sun Yat-sem then went to further his studies at Oahu College. Soon after, he moved back to China and transferred to the Central School of Hong Kong, where he had an early arranged marriage. His revolutionary ideas grew, and reached a peak during the Sino-French war, when he decided he must overthrow the Qing dynasty and establish a republic. So Sun Yat-sen’s plans would not arouse suspicion, he went into Medical school to learn about medicines so he could reach the citizens undercover. There, Dr. Sun Yat-sen befriended Zeng Shiliang and Wang Lie who became keep supporters in his revolution as well as re-marrying a women that became crucial in his efforts. After graduation of medical school in 1912, he was declared president of the new Republic of China and as well as forming the new political party, Chinese Nationalist Party. But during World War 1, although nationalism had developed, he was forced to flee to Japan from his revolts. In Japan, he had made allies, and moved back to China making allies with more military leaders. While still fighting to overthrow the dynasty, he unfortunately died of cancer, but his ideas lived on. o Favorite Quotations:- "The Chinese people have only family and clan groups; there is no national spirit. Consequently, in spite of four hundred million people gathered together in one China, we are in fact but a sheet of loose sand. We are the poorest and weakest state in the world, occupying the lowest position in international affairs; the rest of mankind is the carving knife and the serving dish, while we are the fish and the meat. Our position now is extremely perilous; if we do not earnestly promote nationalism and weld together our four hundred millions into a strong nation, we face a tragedy—the loss of our country and the destruction of our race." - "All of my revolutionary thoughts originated from Hong Kong" __**Relationships**__ o Mother: Madam Yang o Father: Sun Dacheng o Daughters: Sun Yan, Sun Wan o Sons: Sun Ke o Brothers: Sun Mei, Deyou o Sisters: Miaoxi, Quiqi, Jinxing - **__Likes and Interest__** o Activities: reading, learning new things, suduku o Interests: medicine, military o Music: Metallica, U2 o Books: Adventure, Mystery, Non-Fiction o Movies: Mulan, All Quiet on the Western Front o Television: CNN News - **__Education and Work__** o High School: Iolani School o College/University: Oahu College o Employer: President of Chinese Republic

 * Groups **

__**GROUP 1**__: Leader's Workshop - I chose to join this group becaus I feel as if it will help me become a stronger leader and improve my ways. I have established the Republic of China and the Chinese Nationalist Party, but I can learn something new everyday. The stronger the leader I am, the more supporters I will gain, which will help me in the long run. I can also share the factors that have helped me become the leader I am to help others succeed. **__GROUP 2:__** Welcome to Sun Yat-Sen University Alumni Association of North Carolina -One main reason I joined this group was becasue i helped give it the name. Without out my success throughout China, the University wouldn't exist today. Now that I am a part of the group, I feel as if I can make it stronger. By being a part of it, I can help the group live up to its' name, or my name. **__GROUP 3:__** Christianity Debate - I joined this group because I feel that it is important to be able to discuss religion, no matter which one you believe in. As a young adult, my brother pushed me away from becoming a Christian and learning all that I could about it. Now that I can make my own decisions, I can pursue my religion and learn all I was sheltered from. Although it was a part of my life back then, I want to make up for the loss. __** GROUP 4: **__Kmt_international - This group is probably the most critical because it explains and discuss my Three Principles of the People, which i adopted adter establishing the Republic of China. These principles are Nationalism, Democracy and Social Welfare. These principles allow people the freedom they deserve, and should have had when I was fighting for them. Being a part of this group gives me a chance to inform others on my motives. **__GROUP 5:__** Step-Carefully - I joined this group so I could discuss my marriage problems with others. This group is for re-married people, blended families, and anyone who has gone through this process. When I was young, I had an arranged marriage, and although sweet, we weren't in love. I later married again, without an offical divorce, and find it diffucult to deal with the fact i cheated and never had disclosure. **__GROUP 6:__** Alternative Medicine Forum - I found this group very interesting becasue as a kid growing up until my older years, I have always had a fascination with medicine. This group allows others to explore health problems and brainstrom ideas for medicines. Even though I did this as a doctor, it is interesting to hear others opinions. It also serves as a memory for when I was younger, working as a doctor. **__GROUP 7:__** Foreign Language - This group is very important to me because I believe it is important for others to learn different languages. When I moved to Honolulu, I had to immediately learn English, and pick it up quite quickly. I even recieved an award for outstanding achievement in English. Through this group, I can help others learn languages who are open to learning. **__GROUP 8:__** only4medical - This group is a more highly intelligent group because it is only for doctors' use. This group shares links to important and useful information for medicines and equipement as well as books and quizzes. This would have been helpful coming right out of college with my medical degree, so giving others information is also a benefit. I am able to still learn new things from this group from many qualified individuals. __** GROUP 9: **__AwayFromHome - I joined this group in the past when I was moving between China, Hawaii and Japan. This support group was able to help me through the move and boost my confidence. Although I was with my brother and mother, it was still hard moving to a different place, especially at such a young age. But this support group and my family helped me get through it to succeed. **__GROUP 10:__** Personal Development - The main reason I joined this group was because it helped me develop skills in managing my time, stress, and goal setting. During my revolution, I had many goals, and was able to keep them straight and realistic with the help of this group. Because I knew what I was doing with my time, I was able to make goals, and achieve them. This group really helped in my development as a person so I could succeed.
