In that year, the Qing government had long been reduced to the slavery of foreigners, suppressing the people's armed uprising internally, and paying compensation for the external cession of land, and no one in the whole country was living in the depths of the waters.
At this time, there was a person who stood up, put forward the famous Three People's Principles, and led countless people with lofty ideals and benevolent hearts in their hearts to fight against the unjust world.
They also experienced the defeat of Huanghuagang and the wandering, but through hard work, they finally overthrew The feudal monarchy that had lasted for more than two thousand years in China and established the Republic of China. Even if the fruits of the revolution were later stolen by Yuan Shikai, he still rushed to the front line to maintain the hard-won new life.
His life was a life of running, a life of hard work, and a life of struggle for the Chinese nation. But his ending is puzzling, and even the cause of his death is controversial. So, why did Sun Yat-sen, who was revered by posterity as the father of the country, have such an ending?
Determined to revolutionize and overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty
Sun Yat-sen's family conditions were not good when he was born, and within a few years, after his brother Sun Mei started a business, their family's family situation began to improve. Sun Yat-sen was thus able to enter the village school to study, where he learned the story of the Taiping Army's anti-Qing and admired those anti-Qing people from his heart.
In 1879, Sun Yat-sen followed his mother to Honolulu. With the patronage of his eldest brother, Sun Yat-sen received a Western-style modern education in many places.
After returning to China, he saw the poor and weak motherland, looked at the devastated mountains and rivers, and was determined to break the feudalism and encourage the townships to set up a new type of education. However, because he destroyed the idol, he was accused by the villagers and forced to go to Hong Kong.
In 1892, after Sun Yat-sen graduated, while practicing medicine in Macau and Guangzhou, he had begun to secretly plan to establish a revolutionary group. But under the influence of reformist ideas, he still had a glimmer of hope for a decadent feudal autocracy.
However, his reform proposition that "people can make the best use of their talents, the land can make the best use of their interests, the goods can be used to the fullest, and the goods can flow freely" was not adopted by the authorities, and he rushed to Honolulu to organize the Xingzhong Association to expel the Tartars and restore China as an oath. However, before he could make a plan of action, he was leaked and forced into exile.
In November 1904, Sun Yat-sen arrived in Honolulu again. Here, he and more than 20 overseas Chinese established the Xingzhong Association. At the same time, they also established chapters elsewhere and, under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen, organized members to conduct military training in preparation for the armed uprising against the Qing Dynasty.
After the establishment of the League, Sun Yat-sen sent people to various places at home and abroad to develop organizations and publicize the revolution, encouraging more people to devote themselves to the anti-Qing revolution. Although the previous uprisings failed due to the lack of a mass base and the lack of organization.
But their courage gave great encouragement to the people, and many people who accepted the wait-and-see attitude gradually joined the revolution.
After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911, the encouraged provinces expressed their support, and Sun Yat-sen was successfully elected as the provisional president of the Republic of China.
On January 1, 1912, Sun Yat-sen announced his inauguration in Nanjing, forming the Provisional Government of the Republic of China. Finally, thanks to their efforts, the Xuantong Emperor announced his abdication, and China's absolute monarchy, which had lasted for more than 2,000 years, was overthrown.
The fruit of victory was stolen and the Dharma was protected many times
However, although they overthrew feudal rule, there were still many feudal forces in the country. Finally, under the oppression of imperialism and domestic feudalism, Sun Yat-sen was forced to resign from the provisional presidency and give way to Yuan Shikai.
But people familiar with Chinese history know that Yuan Shikai is not a righteous gentleman at all, but a real speculator.
Originally, after leaving office, Sun Yat-sen had already planned his life, set up industries, and built railway trunk lines. However, in March 1913, Song Jiaoren, acting chairman of the Kuomintang, was assassinated by Wu Shiying.
Sun Yat-sen felt that this must be the work of Yuan Shikai, and strongly advocated the use of force to please Yuan. In July, he launched a second revolution, but due to Yuan Shikai's power, this revolution soon failed, and he was forced into exile in Japan.
Later, Yuan Shikai's restoration of the imperial system caused the anger of the people of the whole country and was forced to step down. Sun Yat-sen was finally able to return home and continue to fight for the defense of the republican system.
After returning to China, Sun Yat-sen united with the warlords of the southwest, established a military government in Guangzhou, and was elected as a grand marshal to carry out the war of protection of the Law. However, because of his exclusion, he was forced to resign as Grand Marshal.
The First Protector of France also failed, which led Sun Yat-sen to completely abandon the dependence on the warlords of the North and the South. He began to sum up the revolutionary experience of the past and put forward a grand plan for transforming and building China.
Although he overthrew feudalism, the fruits of the revolution were stolen, and he protected the Fa many times and revolutions many times, but he still failed one after another.
In the early days, he tried to enlist the assistance of Japan, Britain, France, the United States and other countries to China's revolution and construction, but all of them were to no avail.
Later, with the help of Soviet Russia and the Communist Party, he realized that in order to strive for China's independence and autonomy, it was necessary to firmly oppose imperialism. However, the first time the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, he did not have the opportunity to implement his own ideas.
He died of illness and was promoted to the father of the nation
In October 1924, Feng Yuxiang, Duan Qirui, and Zhang Zuolin successively sent a telegram inviting Sun Yat-sen to go north to discuss the state of the country. Sun Yat-sen, who cherished the country, accepted the invitation and proposed many unique practical methods for the national conditions. In November, he left Guangzhou and went north, first arriving in Shanghai and then taking a detour to Japan for Tianjin, where he had been ill for many days.
On March 12, 1925, he died of liver cancer in Beijing. In the afternoon of the same day, the Kuomintang discussed the arrangements for Sun Yat-sen's funeral. However, there is no small controversy about the handling of Sun Yat-sen's funeral.
The Extraordinary Congress in Beijing believes that the former president has made outstanding achievements and should be buried in the country. However, the Nationalist government in the south wanted to take the right to handle Sun Yat-sen's funeral in its own hands and insisted on hiding him. Later, the government decided to recuse itself from state funerals and refused to recognize the northern regime.
In fact, since the death of Yuan Shikai, China has been in the midst of warlord melee and the division of the north and the south. But sun Yat-sen's death was deeply saddened not only by the Kuomintang, but also by the various factions in the north.
Duan Qirui issued an instruction for the first time to hold a state funeral for Dr. Sun Yat-sen. However, for the vast majority of The Kuomintang, if they acknowledged Duan Ruiqi's approach, it was equivalent to acknowledging the rationality of their regime.
In order to firmly take the initiative into their own hands, they decided to carry out a party burial for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, in order to show that the Kuomintang was the heir of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the successor to the Cause of China.
Therefore, they decided to avoid the state funeral, and secretly held a party funeral for Dr. Sun Yat-sen from Duan Qirui, and also used the manpower provided by Duan Qirui to set up a scene.
They explained: At that time, the Kuomintang was located in Guangdong, and there were also internal contradictions, and the highest opportunity that could be given was a state funeral, and perhaps this reason was also true or false. After all, the Kuomintang was indeed divided later, and Wang Jingwei defeated Dr. Sun Yat-sen's approved heir to the throne.
Perhaps, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was not buried by the party because of the faction at that time, but he is still an indispensable and important figure in the history of our country, and he can bear the title of father of the country.
