Everyone has their own hobbies, including great people, and today I will tell you about the three interesting hobbies of Sun Yat-sen's life. In 1897, when Sun Yat-sen returned to Tokyo, Japan from Europe, he met japanese friends such as Miyazaki, Inuyasha, and Shu Hirayama, and after contact, they quickly became good friends, and even reached the point of talking about everything.
One day, Sun Yat-sen was chatting with these Japanese friends, and Inuyasha suddenly asked Sun Yat-sen, "What is your favorite hobby in life?" When Sun Yat-sen heard this question, he smiled and said without hesitation: "I have three hobbies in my life: one revolution, two reading, and three women." His humorous answer immediately caused everyone to laugh. Several good friends couldn't help but exchange cups of pain and continue to talk about it.
Sun Yat-sen said that his first hobby was "revolution", which was definitely his first hobby.
Sun Yat-sen has been engaged in revolutionary struggle all his life, and in order to save the country and save the people, he fully explained to the world the character of his great revolutionary who never stopped fighting and fighting. According to records, when Sun Yat-sen was a child, he listened to Feng Guanshuang, a veteran soldier of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, tell about Hong Xiuquan's anti-Qing struggle, and at that time he showed great admiration for the revolutionary spirit of Hong Xiuquan and others, and even had the ambition to be hong Xiuquan's second. When Sun Yat-sen was studying in Hong Kong in his youth, after being exposed to new ideas, he immediately germinated anti-Qing revolutionary ideas and decided to abandon the study of medicine and engage in revolutionary actions that could heal the country.
In the winter of 1894, the 28-year-old Sun Yat-sen went to Honolulu to found the Xingzhong Association and officially embarked on the road of democratic revolution, and for more than thirty years, he appeared in front of the world as a professional revolutionary. Sun Yat-sen has successively led the Xinhai Revolution, the Second Revolution, the Patriotic War, the War to Protect france, the National Revolutionary Movement, and many other modern revolutionary undertakings.
In 1923, Tan Yanmin, who followed Sun Yat-sen around, gave Sun Yat-sen the ancient seals of the two white jades collected by his father, one of which was engraved with the words "bow to exhaustion" and the other with the words "after death". After seeing this, Sun Yat-sen accepted the "bow down to exhaustion" side, while the "after death" side was sent back to Tan Yanmin by chen Longtao, his retinue. Mr. Tan was puzzled and went to ask Sun Yat-sen why? Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Bow down and do your best, and after death, it is already over" are the words that Zhuge Liang expressed his heart to Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Dynasty. My generation is a revolutionary, and bowing down to the best of my generation is the supreme aspiration of my generation, but the unfinished ambition should be followed by the deceased. We should take it as our duty to die unceasingly, so we should continue to work hard and carry it through, and the great cause of the revolution should be regarded as a whole. "Death without end" is the true spirit and motto of the revolutionaries of my generation. After listening to Sun Yat-sen's words, Tan Yanmin suddenly became enlightened and often said to people: Sun Yat-sen is really great, he has devoted his life to fighting for the revolution, and after his death, he is still unwilling to give up the responsibility of the revolution.
Sun Yat-sen said that his second hobby was "reading", which is also genuine.
Sun Yat-sen learned to learn, and when he was a teenager, whether in village school or Honolulu, or in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, he was known for his excellent academic performance, known as "Tongtianxiao" by his classmates, and also won the prize of the King of Hawaii, and received the certificate of medical science degree from western medical college with excellent graduation results. After engaging in revolutionary action, Sun Yat-sen continued to read a wide range of books and persevered, and he always loved books on politics, economics, history and natural sciences. It was his profound knowledge that helped him successfully create the revolutionary theory, the Three People's Principles.
Sun Yat-sen's living expenses, with the exception of simple clothing and food, were used to buy books, and he once told people that the money used to buy books in a year would cost three or four thousand yuan when the revolutionary struggle was not fierce, and usually cost three thousand yuan even when the revolutionary struggle was tense. Whether Sun Yat-sen was at home or traveling abroad, he always had to bring some books with him, and when he was not working, he always seized the time to read them, even Chen Jiongming rebelled, and he did not forget to read books when he took refuge in the Yongfeng ship. When he left Guangzhou for Hong Kong, the side card personnel checked his luggage, and the box was full of books except for a few pieces of change of clothes and forty yuan ocean.
Sun Yat-sen said that his third hobby was "women", which was obviously a witty joke with his friends.
Of course, Sun Yat-sen's statement also reflects that he is a human being, not a god who does not eat fireworks in the world. As a great man of flesh and blood, Sun Yat-sen naturally had the seven passions and six desires of ordinary people, but in terms of life style, Sun Yat-sen was generally serious. His frank laughter with Inuyasha, Miyazaki and others is a manifestation of his personality that has both a serious side and a relaxed, optimistic and funny character. In fact, since Sun Yat-sen married Lu Muzhen, a native woman at the age of nineteen, he has been running for revolutionary work, and they have been less and more divided with each other, but Sun Yat-sen's style has always been more disciplined when he was running outside. Although he has also married two Japanese wives and concubines, it is by no means different from the behavior of the abusive villain.
In 1914, after Sun Yat-sen and his secretary Soong Ching-ling fell in love, he once said to Soong: The age difference between us is very large, you must consider it carefully. But Song was very firm in this love, and she insisted on marrying Sun Yat-sen despite the opposition and dissuasion of her parents. In 1915, before the two went through the formalities for marriage, Sun Yat-sen specially summoned the original Lady Lu to Tokyo to seek Lu's opinion. Sun Yat-sen told Lady Lu that he was opposed to taking concubines and raising concubines, and if Lady Lu agreed to his union with the Song clan, she would go through divorce procedures.
At that time, Mrs. Lo was often guilty that she could not follow Sun Yat-sen around to take care of her life because of her inability to move her little feet and her old mother in Macau, so she did not oppose the "combination of Sun and Song". Sun Yat-sen advised Lady Lu to believe in Christianity so that her spirit could be pinned down, and Lady Lu gladly obeyed. After Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling got married, the two respected and loved each other and became lifelong revolutionary partners.
